Position within Texas

31 citations — more than 99% of the 1,995 licensed assisted living facilities in Texas. Compared only within Texas: a citation from HHSC means what it means in Texas, and there is no national assisted living record to compare to. Counted over 5 years, which holds two or three routine inspections. How this is calculated

Not in this record

Scope and severity, and enforcement. HHSC rates each finding on a scope-and-severity scale but does not publish the rating per facility, and it records fines and enforcement actions separately; neither is republished here. What is here is unusual among states: HHSC inspects fire and life safety itself and publishes those findings per facility, so this record carries a real life safety section.

Life safety and building citations

The citations about the building itself — fire and life safety, physical plant and emergency management. Usually the maintenance side’s to fix.
