Texas Assisted Living & Memory Care Inspections

Get every licensed assisted living facility in Texas in one clean dataset: license and capacity, Alzheimer's (memory care) certification, and its state inspection and enforcement history, with a link to the official record for each one. One run replaces hours of clicking through the state's provider search one facility at a time.

The data comes only from public Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) sources. The Actor outputs facts only: dates, visit types, counts, correction dates, penalty amounts and bare rule numbers. It never copies the state's narrative text.

What you get

Field group	Examples
License	license number, Type A/B, license status, effective / expiration / initial license dates
Location	street, city, ZIP, county, latitude/longitude, HHSC region, facility phone
Capacity	total licensed capacity, Medicaid beds
Memory care	memory_care_certified, Alzheimer capacity, certificate number and dates
Ownership	owner/operator name (businesses only), management company
Inspections	one row per citation: visit exit date, Health vs Life Safety Code, correction date; plus counts and the latest inspection date
Enforcement	action type, event ID, date imposed, amount imposed, rule numbers cited (e.g. 553.261(g)(4))
Provenance	tulip_url (the facility's official state record), source attribution, collection time

Who it's for

Senior placement and referral agencies, home care franchises, elder-law and senior-living marketers, hospital discharge planners, researchers and journalists. In short, anyone who needs to know which Texas facilities offer memory care and how they've done on state inspections.

Input

Example for a two-county run (Hays + Travis, about 94 facilities):

{
  "counties": ["HAYS", "TRAVIS"],
  "memoryCareOnly": false,
  "includeTulip": true,
  "maxFacilities": 0,
  "tulipDelaySecs": 3
}

• counties: Texas county names. Use ["ALL"] for the whole state (about 2,000 facilities).
• memoryCareOnly: only facilities with an HHSC Alzheimer's certification.
• includeTulip: set to false for a fast roster-only run (license, capacity and memory care fields, no inspections).
• maxFacilities: stop after this many facilities (0 = no limit). Handy for a quick test.
• tulipDelaySecs: a polite pause between state-site lookups. The minimum is 2.

Output

One dataset item per licensed facility. Export it as JSON, CSV or Excel. The Facilities view shows the key columns; the nested arrays inspection_citations and enforcement_actions hold the detail.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay only for results, and platform compute is included:

Event	Price
facility: one facility record in the dataset	$0.01
citation: one inspection citation on a facility record	$0.0025

Examples, based on recent data:

• Hays + Travis counties: about 94 facilities and 408 citations, so about $1.96.
• The whole state: about 2,000 facilities. The citation count varies, so set a max charge for the run if you want a hard ceiling.

If you set a maximum total charge on a run, the Actor stops cleanly when it reaches it. A roster-only run (includeTulip: false) is charged only for facilities.

Data sources and compliance

• Texas HHSC Assisted Living Facility directory (a public spreadsheet, refreshed often).
• Texas HHSC TULIP Long-term Care Provider Search (public, no login). The Actor opens each facility's public page in a browser at a low rate and reads what the page shows.
• Public data only: no logins, no CAPTCHAs bypassed, and robots.txt respected.
• Personal data is kept to a minimum. Administrator names, provider emails, owner phone numbers and mailing addresses, and the owner names of sole proprietors and trusts are not collected. These sources contain no resident information.
• Facts only. HHSC's site policy allows copying for noncommercial use only, so this Actor outputs only facts: dates, visit types, counts, correction dates, penalty amounts and dates, bare rule numbers, and the TULIP link. It never stores or outputs the state's citation or penalty narrative text. To read the narrative, follow tulip_url to the official record.
• Every record carries this attribution: Source: Texas Health and Human Services Commission (hhs.texas.gov, tulip.hhs.texas.gov). Not endorsed by the State of Texas or any state agency.

This dataset is not an official state record and isn't a rating or recommendation of any facility. Check the official record in TULIP before relying on it.

Limits

• TULIP lists citation detail only for visits that produced citations. most_recent_inspection_exit_date still shows the latest inspection, even when it was clean.
• A building that holds both a Type A and a Type B license appears twice (one item per license).
• Some enforcement actions cite a rule that isn't a bare rule number. For those, regulations_cited is empty rather than copying text.
• Lookups are rate-limited on purpose. Expect about 6 seconds per facility, so a full-state run takes about 3–4 hours.

Updates and support

The HHSC directory is re-read on every run, so the license roster is always current as of the run. Questions or a missing field? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab.
