Which sources count as primary for El Paso Senior Advisor?
Only official ones: Texas Health and Safety Code and Administrative Code text, HHSC provider directories and TULIP license records, HHSC program handbooks, Medicare's Care Compare and hospital files, VA rate tables, Census Bureau estimates and the published CareScout cost survey.
Operator brochures, review sites, aggregator listings and facility websites are not used to build any directory entry, and no facility website is visited for that purpose.
What goes into an El Paso facility page?
An assisted living page combines the facility's HHSC directory entry with its TULIP record, listing each cited health and Life Safety Code finding and each administrative penalty; a nursing home page adds CMS's provider file with star ratings, staffing, deficiencies and fines.
The site has no rating system of its own. Stars appear only where CMS publishes them and are labelled as CMS's. A field the state leaves blank is shown as not listed rather than guessed.
How fresh is the data?
Rules, program limits and prices were checked in November 2026, and pages about costs and rules carry a “Last verified” line; directory figures are recomputed from HHSC, TULIP and CMS data on every build, and each page names its data date.
HHSC updates its directories often and TULIP changes as inspections close; CMS republishes Care Compare monthly.
What happens when someone reports an error?
A confirmed error in our own wording is fixed and the verification date updated; a dispute about a facility's state record belongs with HHSC, since the site reproduces that record as the state publishes it.

How are gaps in public data handled?
They are stated, not filled: Texas publishes no memory care price median, CareScout publishes no El Paso-only figure, and TULIP summarizes rather than reproduces inspectors' reports, so pages say so instead of estimating.
Where the site does its own arithmetic, such as hourly home care converted to a monthly figure or straight-line miles from ZIP-code centers, the method is spelled out beside the number.
Who writes the guides and posts?
The El Paso Senior Advisor team writes them for local families, checks each against the sources it cites and dates it; any count that depends on the directory is calculated from the same state files the directory uses.
No partner reviews an article before publication, and no one can pay to have an article written, changed or removed.
Is any content produced automatically?
Yes, the directory pages: they are assembled by software from state and federal records so that every facility is shown the same way, while explanatory guides are written and source-checked by the team before they go live.
Automation is limited to laying out official fields and computing comparisons such as local medians and distances. It never adds a rating, a price or an inspection result that the records do not contain.
