• 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.

• Comal County communities often price above the Bexar County median because of newer construction; compare at least one Bexar County option before deciding.
