How we source
Every regulatory statement on this site links to the underlying Texas rule, HHSC handbook section or federal source. Cost data comes from the published CareScout Cost of Care Survey tables. Population figures come from U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, with the calculation method stated where we have combined two data vintages.
What we will not publish
- Untraceable figures. If we cannot find a primary source, we say the number is unavailable rather than repeating what other sites say.
- Unverified facility details. We publish a community's name, address and care type only when confirmed against the operator's own published information. We do not publish bed counts, license numbers, pricing or star ratings we could not verify.
- Invented reviews or rankings. We do not rank communities, and we do not publish testimonials we cannot attribute.
Known limitations, stated openly
- There is no published median price for memory care in Texas. We do not estimate one.
- CareScout does not publish Austin-specific cost tables. We cite Texas medians and say Austin runs above them, without inventing a local figure.
- The published Texas semi-private nursing median is the lowest in the nation and reflects a heavily Medicaid-weighted market. We flag this everywhere we cite it.
- Our facility listings are smaller than aggregator directories because our verification standard excludes providers we could not confirm.
Corrections
