Does Army Residence Community offer memory care under its Texas license?

Army Residence Community is licensed Type B, so it may care for residents who need staff help to evacuate and need attendance at night, but its HHSC license shows no Alzheimer's certification.

Without that certificate a Texas facility should not market a dedicated memory care unit. Many Type B communities still accept residents with mild cognitive impairment; ask directly how the staff would handle wandering or exit-seeking, and at what point they would ask for a move.

What did HHSC inspectors find at Army Residence Community?

Army Residence Community's HHSC TULIP record lists 5 cited findings on April 29, 2025: 0 from health (care) inspections and 5 from life safety code (fire and building) inspections. The most recent HHSC visit closed on April 29, 2025.

The most recent findings, in HHSC's own words:

• Life Safety Code, April 29, 2025: The facility failed to inspect, test, and maintain fire sprinkler system components.
• Life Safety Code, April 29, 2025: The facility failed to ensure openings between floors were protected to prevent the spread of fire and smoke from one floor to another.
• Life Safety Code, April 29, 2025: The facility failed to provide smoke compartmentation where required.
• Life Safety Code, April 29, 2025: The facility failed to ensure the building electrical system met the referenced codes and standards.
• Life Safety Code, April 29, 2025: The facility failed to ensure doors in the facility met the referenced codes and standards.

For context, the median for San Antonio-area assisted living communities with 50 or more beds is 7 cited findings on the current TULIP record. A finding is a cited rule, not necessarily harm to a resident; life safety findings are often fire-door, sprinkler or exit-sign items. Read the health findings first, and ask the administrator what changed after each one.

Has Texas HHSC taken enforcement action against Army Residence Community?

No. The enforcement section of Army Residence Community's HHSC TULIP record shows no administrative penalties or other enforcement actions as of October 24, 2026.

Who owns and operates Army Residence Community?

HHSC lists The Army Retirement Residence Foundationsan Antonio (nonprofit organization) as the license holder for Army Residence Community, with no separate management company on the record.

The licensee is a nonprofit organization. That says nothing about care quality on its own, but nonprofit communities sometimes keep benevolent funds for residents who outlive their savings, so ask whether one exists and how it works.

How much does assisted living at Army Residence Community cost?

HHSC does not publish prices, and Army Residence Community sets its own rates, so get a written quote. As a benchmark, our 2026 San Antonio cost guide puts most local assisted living between about $3,800 and $5,500 a month, and memory care typically adds $1,000 to $2,000 a month on top of that.

• Ask for the base rent and the care-level fee separately; most San Antonio communities price care in tiers, so two communities with the same advertised rate can differ by hundreds of dollars once care is added.
• Ask what the last two annual increases were, in percent, and whether care fees can change mid-year after a reassessment.
• The 2024 Genworth and CareScout Cost of Care Survey put the national median for assisted living at $70,800 a year, so the San Antonio market remains below the national figure even after recent increases.
• Army Residence Community's TULIP record shows it does not accept Medicaid. If STAR+PLUS HCBS may be needed later, ask what happens to a resident who spends down savings.

See the San Antonio assisted living cost guide and the memory care cost guide for the detail.

How should families evaluate Army Residence Community before signing?

Start with the HHSC record, then test it in person: the most useful questions for Army Residence Community come straight from its Type B license, its 5 cited inspection findings and its enforcement history.

• At 68 beds this is a smaller community, so turnover of a single nurse or administrator matters; ask how long the current leadership has been in place.
• Visit twice, once unannounced near a mealtime, and talk to a resident's family member if you can.
