Residential care homes in the south Houston corridor

Residential care homes — often called group homes or board-and-care — serve a handful of residents in an ordinary house. Staff ratios are usually far better than a large facility.

113 state-licensed assisted living facilities. 102 hold a Type B license, meaning they may accept residents who cannot evacuate the building without help. 25 are certified by Texas for Alzheimer's and dementia care, and 113 are small homes of sixteen beds or fewer. License data as of August 2026.

Texas issues no star ratings for assisted living, and publishes no inspection findings the way Medicare does for nursing homes. The complaint and administrative penalty records above were obtained by public records request, not from a published feed. Citation-level inspection detail — what an inspector actually cited a facility for — is held but not yet published here. An empty inspection section is not a clean inspection record — where the state publishes nothing, this page says so rather than implying a finding.

Texas does not issue a separate "residential care home" license. These are the same Type A and Type B assisted living licenses held by much larger facilities, inspected against the same standards — the difference is the size of the building. Every home here is licensed for between 6 and 16 residents.

A home this size is usually an ordinary house on an ordinary street, and staff-to-resident ratios are often far better than a large facility can manage. Texas publishes no rating for any of them, which is why this page cannot rank them and does not try. Each one also appears in the full assisted living list — this is the same license record, filtered by size, not a second set of homes.

Listed alphabetically. Texas publishes no star rating or inspection score for assisted living, so there is nothing here to rank by and this order is not a recommendation. Advertising status is not a ranking factor and no facility on this page pays for its position.
