Does Elan Westpointe offer memory care under its Texas license?

Yes. Elan Westpointe holds HHSC Alzheimer's certificate #104744 covering 38 of its 128 licensed beds, valid through January 15, 2029. In Texas that certification is what lets a facility advertise memory care for Alzheimer's and related dementias.

The other 90 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.

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 Elan Westpointe cost?

HHSC does not publish prices, and Elan Westpointe 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.
• Elan Westpointe'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.
• Comal County communities often price above the Bexar County median because of newer construction; compare at least one Bexar County option before deciding.

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

How should families evaluate Elan Westpointe before signing?

Start with the HHSC record, then test it in person: the most useful questions for Elan Westpointe come straight from its Type B license, its 9 cited inspection findings and its enforcement history.

• 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 128 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.
