The San Marcos market specifically

San Marcos anchors the southern end of the metro and has a defined medical district along Medical Parkway where several providers sit close together. County-wide home values in Hays run below Travis, and senior care price points tend to follow.

The Wonder World Drive and Medical Parkway corridor concentrates hospice, home health and skilled nursing near the hospital campus, which makes coordination between a hospital stay and post-acute care simpler here than in most of 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.
