Frequently Asked Questions

Does Medicare pay for assisted living?

Medicare does not cover assisted living costs. Medicare Part A may cover short-term skilled nursing after a hospital stay but does not pay for long-term residential care. Texas Medicaid (STAR+PLUS) may help eligible lower-income seniors.

What's included in the monthly fee?

Most assisted living base rates cover room, meals, housekeeping, and basic activity assistance. Extra services like medication management, incontinence care, and specialized therapies often carry add-on fees. Always ask for an all-inclusive cost breakdown.

Can costs increase after moving in?

Yes. Many facilities reassess care needs periodically and may increase fees if more assistance is required. Ask about the facility's rate increase policy and average annual increase percentage before signing a contract.
