“We've had a wonderful experience, and this place is awesome. Management has been super helpful in coordinating everything for my mom. She always remarked how good the food was and loves the chicken salad. It's a very engaging place where the staff really know and care for their residents, and the common areas are lovely, bright, and happy. Maintenance fixes things fast, and her caregivers and med techs are very loving and kind. It eases our minds knowing she's well cared for.”
“I had visited here in the past, both to see a friend and with an entertainment group, and I always thought it was a nice place. The environment was good and the people seemed real nice. Management has been extremely helpful to me personally. The meals have variety and are very, very tasty, the activities are very good, and housekeeping keeps my apartment very nice. The care staff all care for me. Everything's good so far.”
“We've had a wonderful experience with my mom here, and the management team has been absolutely fabulous. The food is very good, and the servers get right up to her ear to explain everything. She enjoys bingo, entertainers, and sing-alongs, and staff remind her when something's going on. During move-in, maintenance noticed she had trouble with her remote and found one with giant numbers. The wellness director is very proactive about keeping in touch. The transition was very smooth, and she feels at home. I absolutely recommend it and already have.”
“My sister seems to be liking it pretty well, and management has been pretty supportive of us through the process. They offer a variety of activities; the schedule is great, with a lot of good things, and they mix it up a little.

She feels safe and comfortable there.”

They also provide food that is varied, hot, and seasoned well every time. Overall this is the best community and it feels like home here.”
“My mom lives at the community, and theyare taking good care of my mom. We know everyone in management, the dining service is great, and they have a chef that's been there for 17 years. He is great, and the food is very good. Plus, the activities are very appropriate for my mom and they bring in a lot of really good musical talent.”
“Mom lives at the community. The care staff is good and they're good about calling me when there is something I need to know about. Housekeeping does a nice job of cleaning and they show up regularly. She is enjoying the food and the menu looks good. I like the number of activities they offer and mom's favorite by far is the bingo. Apartment maintenance is satisfactory and the building always makes me smile. She feels safe, comfortable, and the value is really worth it. She was in one other place and it wasn't anywhere near the quality.”

Paying with Medicaid and other programsHow Medicaid pays for care in Texas, and other programs
How Medicaid pays for care in Texas
- STAR+PLUS Home and Community Based Services (STAR+PLUS HCBS) Waiver Program. Texas Medicaid can help pay for assisted living for people enrolled in the STAR+PLUS HCBS waiver, which helps people who would otherwise need to be in a nursing home. HHSC checks whether you need this program when you apply for Medicaid. (state page)
- Waitlist. STAR+PLUS HCBS uses an interest list. People already on Medicaid with a STAR+PLUS plan may bypass it, and nursing facility residents can use Money Follows the Person. (source)
Ask the community whether it accepts Medicaid.
