Understanding memory care in Texas
Memory care is a secured, structured setting with dementia-trained staff for residents who wander, need extra cueing, or are no longer safe in standard assisted living.
Texas has no separate memory-care license; dementia care is delivered in a Type B assisted living facility (for residents who need staff help to evacuate), with disclosure requirements and an optional Alzheimer's/dementia certification. A typical monthly range is $4,800 to $7,000 a month.
Before you tour, know what actually predicts quality:
- that the specific secured unit is covered by the facility's Type B license
- how many dementia-training hours staff have completed, and how recently
- the awake-overnight ratio in the secured unit specifically
