Information About A Texas Assisted Living Residence
An assisted living residence is a type of care center for senior citizens who are no longer able to live independently but do not require the 24/7 care provided by a nursing home. The typical assisted living resident may need help with things like preparing a meal, taking a shower, or managing medications, but is otherwise able to live without care and supervision. In Texas, assisted living facilities (ALFs) are known as personal care facilities. Facilities caring for four people or fewer do not require a license; those taking care of five or more people must seek licensing through the state.
