What is Care Home Association?
Care Home Association is a North Texas organization that supports residential care homes, caregivers and senior service professionals through education, networking, advocacy and practical resources. We also help families find senior care information and connect with our independent placement partner, Quality Care Referral Network LLC.
Does Care Home Association place residents in care homes?
No. Placement and referral services are provided by Quality Care Referral Network LLC, an independent referral partner of Care Home Association. The association can point families to the partner, who helps them explore residential care homes based on care needs, preferences, location and budget.
What is a residential care home?
A residential care home is a small assisted living setting, usually in a house in a regular neighborhood, where a limited number of older adults live together and receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, meals and medication reminders. Many families like the home-like setting and the personal attention a smaller home can offer. Services vary from home to home.
What is the difference between a Type A and Type B assisted living facility in Texas?
In Texas, Type A assisted living facilities serve residents who do not need routine staff attendance during sleeping hours and can follow directions in an emergency. Type B facilities serve residents who may need staff help to evacuate, may not be able to follow emergency directions, and may need attendance at night. Always confirm current rules with Texas Health and Human Services (HHSC).

Yes.
