§ 06 · Common Questions

What families ask first.

Where does Texas inspection data come from?

Primary sources: Texas Health & Human Services Commission (HHSC) Long-Term Care Regulation (LTCR) public records, the HHSC assisted living directory where applicable, and verified family reviews submitted through our identity-checked review form. Narrative inspection findings are reproduced verbatim from regulator-facing records.

Do you accept payments from facilities or operators?

No. StarlynnCare receives no referral commissions, lead fees, or paid placement from any operator. Rankings are derived solely from state inspection records and verified family reviews. We are funded by reader memberships and the sale of our annual data report to public-interest organizations.

How often is Texas data updated?

After each ingest run from HHSC-sourced records. When bulk data is delivered via Public Information Act fulfillment, we refresh the full Alzheimer-certified subset in one pass. Each facility profile shows source URLs and visit dates.

What does Texas Type A / B / C mean vs California Type A / B deficiencies?

Texas license classes (Type A, B, C) describe facility capability under HHSC rules — not citation severity. California 'Type A' and 'Type B' deficiency labels are entirely different: they describe inspection citation severity in RCFE records. Do not conflate the two systems.

Can a facility correct or respond to information on its profile?

Yes. Every profile includes a verified-operator response field, edited by us only for length. We do not remove citations at operator request, but we publish operator context and corrective actions alongside the original record.

Step 01

Pull the public record

Inspection findings for Alzheimer-certified assisted living facilities are sourced directly from Texas HHSC Long-Term Care Regulation (LTCR) public records. StarlynnCare indexes only facilities with active Alzheimer Certification where noted.

Step 02

Note the license type difference

Texas ALF license Types A, B, and C describe facility capability under HHSC rules — not citation severity. Do not conflate these with California's Type-A / Type-B deficiency severity labels. StarlynnCare shows each state's findings using the regulator's own severity language.
