What to ask on a tour in Austin
Marketing directors are good at their jobs. These are the questions that actually surface differences between communities:
- Which license do you hold, Type A or Type B? And if my parent declines, at what point would you no longer be able to keep them?
- Do you hold an Alzheimer's certification? Ask to see it, not the license.
- What is the all-in monthly cost at my parent's current care level? Ask for the care-level assessment tool in writing and where your parent would score today.
- How often have rates increased in the last three years, and by how much?
- What is the overnight staffing ratio? Not the daytime ratio — overnight is where families get surprised.
- What is caregiver turnover here? A community that tracks it and will tell you is a different kind of operator than one that deflects.
- Do you accept STAR+PLUS, and what happens if we run out of private funds? Many Austin-area communities do not contract with Medicaid managed care at all.
- Can I see the most recent HHSC inspection report? You can look it up regardless, but the answer tells you something.
Go back unannounced at a different time of day before you decide. A mid-morning tour and a 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings.
