How Texas publishes inspections
HHSC doesn't publish inspection results for each assisted living facility online. It publishes statewide totals of violations (PDF). Ask HHSC Long-term Care Regulation for a facility's inspection reports. State inspection information (opens in a new tab)
What assisted living is
A place to live with meals, help with bathing, dressing and medicines, and someone on hand day and night. It isn’t a nursing home: there’s no round-the-clock nursing. Find nursing homes →
Small homes
Many states license small homes, often a house with 2 to 6 residents, under their own names (adult family home, family care home). We list them with the larger ones and label each as a small home with its bed count.
The state’s safety record
Where a state publishes its inspection findings, we show them in the state’s own words and scale, with the period and source. We don’t score, rank or sort homes by them.
By county
Counted by the home’s address. Each link opens the homes near a ZIP code in that county.
