Assisted Living in Friendswood, TX

Assisted living costs in Friendswood typically range from $3,500 to $6,500 per month depending on apartment size, level of care, and amenities. Higher levels of personal care, medication management, or memory support will increase the monthly rate. Most facilities charge a base rate plus add-on fees for additional services. Request a detailed fee schedule and ask about annual rate increase policies during your tour.

Texas Medicaid does not cover standard assisted living room and board, but the STAR+PLUS waiver program may help eligible seniors with some personal care services within a licensed assisted living facility. Eligibility is income- and needs-based, and there is typically a waiting list. Ask facilities whether they participate in STAR+PLUS and speak with a benefits counselor at your local Area Agency on Aging.

Texas HHSC licenses assisted living facilities as Type A or Type B. Type A facilities serve residents who are ambulatory and can evacuate without staff assistance. Type B facilities serve residents who may be non-ambulatory or need staff help to evacuate, and must maintain higher staffing ratios and 24-hour awake staff. When evaluating a facility in Friendswood, ask which license type they hold and whether it matches your loved one's current and anticipated care needs.
