Does The Blake at New Braunfels offer memory care under its Texas license?

Yes. The Blake at New Braunfels holds HHSC Alzheimer's certificate #104851 covering 54 of its 159 licensed beds, valid through August 9, 2027. In Texas that certification is what lets a facility advertise memory care for Alzheimer's and related dementias.

The other 105 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 The Blake at New Braunfels?

The Blake at New Braunfels' HHSC TULIP record lists 7 cited findings between October 15, 2025 and August 14, 2026: 2 from health (care) inspections and 5 from life safety code (fire and building) inspections. The most recent HHSC visit closed on August 14, 2026.

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

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 The Blake at New Braunfels cost?

HHSC does not publish prices, and The Blake at New Braunfels 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.
• The Blake at New Braunfels' 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.
