Pegasus Landing of El Paso

What Texas license does Pegasus Landing of El Paso hold?

Yes. HHSC's active-license directory carries Pegasus Landing of El Paso as Type B assisted living facility #313216, licensed for 110 residents through July 1, 2029.

The letter on a Texas license is about evacuation, not luxury. Type B residents may need staff help to evacuate, may need care during the night and may not be able to follow directions in an emergency, though they cannot be permanently bedfast.

How large is Pegasus Landing of El Paso compared with other El Paso assisted living?

At 110 licensed places, Pegasus Landing of El Paso ranks 3rd of 31 licensed assisted living facilities in El Paso and Hudspeth counties, one of the larger settings, with about 11% of the metro's licensed assisted living capacity.

The median El Paso license covers only 15 residents, so a building of this size stands out. Larger communities tend to offer a dining room, a full activity calendar and on-site nurses on day shifts; ask how many residents share each caregiver at night.
