Memory care is secured, dementia-specific assisted living. In Texas it is not a separate license — it is an Alzheimer's certification layered on a Type B license, and it carries physical plant requirements that are inspected on site.
We list 9 verified memory care options in Austin, Texas. Assisted living and memory care in Texas are licensed by HHSC as Type A or Type B based on residents' evacuation ability, and memory care additionally requires an Alzheimer's certification.
What to watch for with memory care in Austin
- Ask to see the Alzheimer's certification, not the license. Any community can market to dementia families; only a certified one has been inspected against the standard.
- Ask specifically about wandering and exit-seeking. Secured courtyards, door alarms and staffing patterns vary far more than brochures suggest.
- There is no published median price for memory care in Texas. Any figure you find online is an estimate, so get quotes in writing from each community.

The Austin market specifically
Austin proper has the widest range of care levels in the metro and the widest range of prices with it. Central and west-side communities price toward the top of the market; north and northeast Austin is generally more moderate. Traffic is the practical constraint families underestimate — a community fifteen minutes away at 10 a.m. can be forty at six in the evening, and evening is when most visits actually happen.
Because Austin proper holds most of the metro's licensed capacity, it is also where you will find the widest spread in quality within a single price band. Two communities charging similar rates a few miles apart can differ sharply on staffing and turnover, so comparison matters more here than anywhere else in the metro.
What the contract does that the tour does not
The residency agreement decides what happens when things change: how care levels are reassessed and repriced, how much notice is required on either side, what the deposit covers and whether it is refundable, and whether disputes go to arbitration.
Ask for a blank copy to take home before you are asked to sign anything. A community that will not provide one has told you something useful.
