Frequently Asked Questions

What should I look for during a nursing home visit in Texas?

Observe cleanliness, staff-resident interactions, meal quality, safety features, activity programs, and the overall atmosphere. Ask about staffing ratios, call response times, and emergency procedures. Use our Visit Guide with a detailed checklist.

Should I schedule a nursing home visit or just show up?

Both have value. A scheduled tour lets you meet administrators and see planned activities. An unannounced visit shows you the facility in its normal state. If possible, do both.
