Nursing & Assisted Living Facilities
The Demand for Senior Care in Texas Is Growing — and So Are Regulations
Texas has one of the fastest-growing senior populations in the country, creating strong demand for residential and daytime care services. But opening a care facility or adult day center is not as simple as renting a space and hiring staff — it requires navigating complex licensing, zoning, health, and compliance rules.
We help care providers launch legally sound businesses that meet all state and federal requirements, so you can focus on providing high-quality care — not fighting red tape.
Common Legal Needs in the Nursing & Assisted Living Industry
Starting a care facility in Texas involves a deep understanding of health care law, business structure, and state licensing processes.
We help with:
-
Business Entity Formation (LLC, PLLC, or Corporation)
-
Texas Health and Human Services (HHSC) Licensing for assisted living, nursing, and day activity centers
-
Zoning and Occupancy Compliance for residential or commercial locations
-
Medicaid/Medicare Readiness and provider enrollment support

Staffing and subcontractor agreements
-
State-required insurance and bonding guidance

Contract and liability protections
Whether you’re opening a small residential care home or a licensed adult day care center, we guide you every step of the way.
