HOW DO I AFFORD ALL THIS?

Type A vs. Type B Assisted Living in Texas: Costs and Differences

When someone hears the words “Type A” and “Type B,” it often refers to blood types. However, with assisted living in Texas, those words differentiate these communities by the services provided. This understanding can help you narrow the choices and select the best senior living option for you or a loved one.

Type A and Type B assisted living communities in Texas are classified separately. Tech Ridge Oaks in Austin is a licensed Type B community.

At Tech Ridge Oaks in Austin, we’re happy to explain these two categories. And there’s no “Type O” in assisted living; only A and B apply.

What services do assisted living communities provide?

Assisted living communities like Tech Ridge Oaks have compassionate teams that provide health services and activities of daily living (ADLs) support. The home-like setting encourages independence, dignity, and privacy, with private and public living spaces and dining options. Individualized services are customized for residents and include help with bathing, dressing, toileting, and medication administration.

Austin’s top assisted living communities also have lifestyle programs and special events.

Many also have separate memory care units for residents with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. That is especially helpful as residents can transition to memory care if needed.

Type A Assisted Living Community Classification

According to Texas Health and Human Services, Type A communities are for residents who don’t need “routine attendance during sleeping hours” and can follow directions in emergencies.

Type A caters to relatively independent seniors who can evacuate the community without assistance in an emergency. They may need light help or reminders with ADLs and medications. Team members also focus attention on dining, housekeeping, and programming.

Type B Assisted Living Facility Classification

Residents living in Austin Type B assisted living communities may have chronic conditions that require personalized care. These properties are designed for individuals who require 24/7 caregiving and evacuation assistance in an emergency. These older adults need compassionate assistance to complete those kinds of directions.

Type B assisted living in Texas is classified under an advanced level of care category. It offers extensive support with ADLs, including comprehensive personal care, medication management, and specialized healthcare services. Communities like Tech Ridge Oaks that advertise memory care services must have a Type B license.

How much does Type B assisted living in Austin cost?

In Austin, you might pay anywhere from $3,000 to $14,000 per month for assisted living. Costs vary significantly, depending on the community’s location, size, services, and amenities. Type B assisted living facilities tend to be more expensive than Type A due to the higher care level. To determine the best option, weigh the benefits of specialized care and additional services against the costs.
