What does The Heritage Tomball's Type B license mean?
The Heritage Tomball holds a Type B assisted living license, so it may admit residents who need staff help to evacuate and who need attendance at night; Type B facilities must keep staff awake overnight.
Most Greater Houston memory care sits in Type B buildings, because residents with dementia usually need help in an emergency, including a hurricane evacuation.
Alzheimer's certification: HHSC lists certificate #104510 with 22 certified beds out of 147 licensed. Under Texas rules only a certified facility may advertise Alzheimer's or dementia care.
Who is The Heritage Tomball a good fit for?
The Heritage Tomball suits couples or families who want assisted living and memory care on one license: 125 of its 147 beds are standard assisted living and 22 are in its Alzheimer's-certified unit, which can mean a move down the hall instead of to a new community.
At this size expect a full activity calendar, several dining venues and a larger care team, with more residents per caregiver than a small home.
