The MonteVista at Coronado

What Texas license does The MonteVista at Coronado hold?

The MonteVista at Coronado holds Texas assisted living license #312367 (Assisted living, Type B), issued by the Health and Human Services Commission for 76 residents and valid until February 25, 2028.

Licensure type matters more than size here: 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 (26 TAC 553.5).

Is The MonteVista at Coronado a small home or a large community by El Paso standards?

At 76 licensed places, The MonteVista at Coronado ranks 4th of 31 licensed assisted living facilities in El Paso and Hudspeth counties, one of the larger settings, with about 8% 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.
