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.
Visit twice, at different hours
A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised, so ask the overnight ratio specifically rather than the daytime one.
Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to. Neither takes long and both tell you more than the brochure.
