Frequently Asked Questions About Assisted Living in Pasadena — About Pasadena
How much does assisted living cost in Pasadena, TX?
Assisted living costs in Pasadena 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.
Does Medicaid cover assisted living in Pasadena, TX?
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.
What is the difference between Type A and Type B assisted living in Texas?
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 Pasadena, ask which license type they hold and whether it matches your loved one's current and anticipated care needs.
