Can Genesis Home Care keep a resident who develops dementia?

Genesis Home Care holds no Alzheimer's certification, so it may not advertise specialized dementia care under Texas rules, although as a Type B facility it can serve residents with some confusion who need help to evacuate.

The trigger for moving is usually exit-seeking or a failed evacuation, not the diagnosis. The closest certified Alzheimer's units are Simpatico Cielo Vista Assisted Living and Memory Care in Cielo Vista, Eastwood & the UMC Corridor (16 certified places, 3.9 mi); The MonteVista at Coronado in West Side, Upper Valley & Northwest (38 certified places, 6.7 mi); White Acres Assisted Living in West Side, Upper Valley & Northwest (32 certified places, 7.8 mi).

• August 24, 2026: Administrative Penalty of $2,250; rule 553.253(c)(3)(F): The facility failed to have sufficient staff to ensure safe evacuation of the facility in the event of emergency.

An administrative penalty means HHSC found a violation serious or repeated enough to fine. Ask what changed after the citation and how the fix is checked today.

Which questions does Genesis Home Care's record raise?

Bring the record with you. To start, ask what led to the August 24, 2026 penalty under rule 553.253(c)(3)(F) and how it is monitored now.

• Ask who gives medications, and whether a licensed nurse reviews the medication records.
• Ask for the overnight staffing plan for all 8 licensed places, not just the day shift.
• If your parent is more comfortable in Spanish, ask how many caregivers on each shift speak it.
• Ask which Medicaid managed care plans, if any, the facility works with for STAR+PLUS members.
• Ask for the admission agreement and fee schedule in writing, including what triggers a higher level-of-care charge.
