At more than 15 years on the HHSC rolls, this is one of the longer-licensed communities in the metro.

Does Discovery Village Stone Oak offer memory care under its Texas license?

Yes. Discovery Village Stone Oak holds HHSC Alzheimer's certificate #105040 covering 71 of its 125 licensed beds, valid through April 10, 2027. In Texas that certification is what lets a facility advertise memory care for Alzheimer's and related dementias.

The other 54 beds are general assisted living. For families this matters because a parent can often move from the assisted living side to the secured unit without changing communities if dementia progresses; ask how that transfer is decided and whether the monthly rate changes.

What did HHSC inspectors find at Discovery Village Stone Oak?

Discovery Village Stone Oak's HHSC TULIP record lists 18 cited findings between September 25, 2025 and February 10, 2026: 7 from health (care) inspections and 11 from life safety code (fire and building) inspections. The most recent HHSC visit closed on February 10, 2026.

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

• Health Visit, February 10, 2026: The facility failed to conduct required fire drills and document fire drills on the required form.
• Health Visit, February 10, 2026: The facility failed to maintain electrical, heating, and cooling systems so they worked safely.

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.

How much does assisted living at Discovery Village Stone Oak cost?

HHSC does not publish prices, and Discovery Village Stone Oak 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.
• Discovery Village Stone Oak'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 Discovery Village Stone Oak before signing?

Start with the HHSC record, then test it in person: the most useful questions for Discovery Village Stone Oak come straight from its Type B license, its 18 cited inspection findings and its enforcement history.

• With 7 health-inspection findings on file, ask to see the most recent HHSC statement of deficiencies and the facility's plan of correction.
• The life safety findings are numerous, so walk the exits, check that fire doors close and latch, and ask when the sprinkler and alarm systems were last inspected.
• Ask how many hours of dementia training direct-care staff complete, how many staff are awake in the secured unit overnight, and how residents get outdoor time.
• At 125 licensed beds this is a large community; ask how many caregivers work each shift on your parent's floor or wing, not building-wide.
• Visit twice, once unannounced near a mealtime, and talk to a resident's family member if you can.
