HHSC lists each state violation cited at the provider's inspections and investigations, with the date the visit ended and the date HHSC recorded it as corrected. HHSC notes the list “may include findings from previous inspections.” Health visits check care and services; Life Safety Code visits check fire safety and the building. Enforcement actions are administrative penalties HHSC imposed under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 247, with the rule cited and HHSC's description of the violation. HHSC: “Data is subject to change through normal business processes such as the state IDR process.” This community is licensed for 45 residents; larger communities are inspected and reported on more often, so read counts with size in mind.

Paying with Medicaid and other programsHow Medicaid pays for care in Texas, and other programs
How Medicaid pays for care in Texas
- STAR+PLUS Home and Community Based Services (STAR+PLUS HCBS) Waiver Program. Texas Medicaid can help pay for assisted living for people enrolled in the STAR+PLUS HCBS waiver, which helps people who would otherwise need to be in a nursing home. HHSC checks whether you need this program when you apply for Medicaid. (state page)
- Waitlist. STAR+PLUS HCBS uses an interest list. People already on Medicaid with a STAR+PLUS plan may bypass it, and nursing facility residents can use Money Follows the Person. (source)
Ask the community whether it accepts Medicaid.

Public hazard maps for this location. Ask the community about its emergency plan, its generator and where residents would go in an evacuation.
- Flood zone
- Zone AE: 1% annual chance flood area (high risk); base flood elevation set. This is inside FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Area, where flood insurance is required for federally backed mortgages. (FEMA flood map)
- FEMA National Risk Index
- Overall: relatively high. By hazard: hurricane relatively high, inland flooding relatively high, wildfire very low, tornado very high, heat wave relatively moderate, earthquake very low. These are FEMA’s ratings for the census tract, compared with tracts nationwide. (FEMA, December 2025)
A flood zone describes the map at this point, not the building's elevation. In an emergency, follow the local emergency management agency.

How Lilisity works. The only scores or rankings Lilisity publishes are the Top Communities list and the Excellence Awards, both built from phone-verified resident and family interviews. Communities can pay Lilisity a flat monthly fee to manage their own listing: photos, prices, contact details, and receiving the inquiries families choose to send them. The fee is the same no matter how many families contact them or move in. Senior Living Alliance, which runs Lilisity, offers the same listing to its member communities as part of their membership; members pay SLA for its resident and family interview program. No community pays Lilisity per inquiry, per referral or per move-in. Payment never changes a testimonial, a rating, or the order of search results. The "Nearby Senior Living Alliance communities" box shows member communities only. How we verify testimonials · How we are paid
