Every home in this directory lists its HHSC license number on its own page. If a home cannot give you one when you ask, that is the answer.

Texas has 2,002 assisted living homes holding a current HHSC license. It also has homes operating without one. That difference matters more than anything else you will compare, and it is the first thing this front door shows you.
