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.

How Lilisity works. The only scores or rankings Lilisity publishes are the Top Communities list and the Excellence Awards, both built from phone-verified resident and family interviews. Communities can pay Lilisity a flat monthly fee to manage their own listing: photos, prices, contact details, and receiving the inquiries families choose to send them. The fee is the same no matter how many families contact them or move in. Senior Living Alliance, which runs Lilisity, offers the same listing to its member communities as part of their membership; members pay SLA for its resident and family interview program. No community pays Lilisity per inquiry, per referral or per move-in. Payment never changes a testimonial, a rating, or the order of search results. The "Nearby Senior Living Alliance communities" box shows member communities only. How we verify testimonials · How we are paid
