Alzheimer's-certified memory care in El Paso

Which El Paso facilities are certified for Alzheimer's care?

8 assisted living facilities in El Paso hold an HHSC Alzheimer's certification, covering 196 residents in all, and 1 nursing facility lists 60 Alzheimer's beds in HHSC's directory.

Why rely on the Alzheimer's certification to find memory care in El Paso?

Texas has no memory care license; a facility may not advertise specialized Alzheimer's or dementia care unless HHSC has certified it, so the certificate number on this list is the state's own proof that a dementia unit exists.

Only Type B facilities can be certified, and certified units must meet extra standards for staff training, activities and a secured outdoor area under 26 TAC 553.311. See the certification rules. Facilities without a certificate can still serve people with mild memory loss but may not market memory care.
