Overview of Sterling Residential Care

Sterling Residential Care is a licensed assisted living community in Devine, Texas, serving older adults who require support with daily activities in a residential care setting. This 50-bed community holds a Type B license from the Texas HHSC in n Medina County and is owned and operated by Steinolfson Residential Care Inc, a locally oriented ownership entity.

From a compliance perspective, the record for this community is generally favorable, with two total citations from its most recent inspection cycle, which is below the Texas average of six citations. One inspection resulted in citations and zero enforcement actions, matching the state benchmark. No federal civil money penalties or payment denials appear in the CMS database for the past three years. While the two citations indicate some areas that require attention, the low count relative to the state average is a constructive signal for interested families.

Care and therapy services include rehabilitation services, with physical therapy and occupational therapy among the programs offered. The community is also positioned to serve older adults with recovery or functional support needs in addition to general assisted living assistance. The service model is focused and practical, offering targeted care without the broader specialty programming found at larger urban locations. On-site programs also include nursing home-level oversight, dining services, and community engagement. For families in the Devine, Medina County, and greater South Texas region, it also offers an accessible local option that keeps older adults close to their home neighborhoods.

With a low citation rate and the absence of enforcement actions, Sterling Residential Care is a compelling option for older adults who need assisted living support or post-rehabilitation assistance and who prefer to remain in a familiar, small-town environment in rural South Texas. Devine is a small town southwest of San Antonio, allowing the community to provide families in the surrounding region a nearby assisted living option without the need to relocate to a larger metro area.
