How people pay for memory care in Georgetown

If you’re looking for a memory care facility for your loved one, figuring out how to pay for it might feel overwhelming. However, there are many ways to cover the costs of memory care, including private payment methods, VA benefits, and programs like Medicaid and Medicare. In this section, you’ll learn more about each payment method and how it applies to memory care facilities.

Private pay methods

You can pay for your loved one’s memory care using private payment methods. Options include income sources like savings, Social Security benefits, pensions, and investment returns. Here is a list of other funding sources you might find useful:

VA benefits

Number of veterans who live in Georgetown

About 39% of Georgetown veterans are 75+

If your loved one served in the military (or has a spouse who did), they may qualify for some benefits from the Veterans Administration. There are many different benefits that can apply based on individual situations, but a couple of the most common are the VA Pension and the Aid and Attendance benefits. Both are paid to qualified veterans on a monthly basis and can help with the cost of memory care. The Aid and Attendance, specifically, is for veterans who need help with activities of daily living.

To find out if your loved one qualifies for any VA benefits, you don’t have to go it alone. The VA has vetted and trained experts called veterans service officers, who provide free assistance with the process. You can connect with one through veterans service organizations — such as the American Legion — or at the Williamson County Veterans Services Office. It’s worth checking with one of these officers even if you’re unsure if your loved one is eligible.

Medicaid

Texas’ Medicaid program is health care coverage for seniors with low incomes. It won’t pay for the cost of living in a memory care facility, but it can still help your loved one save money. If your loved one needs health care delivered within their memory care facility, a home and community based services waiver could be used to cover that cost, but only if a doctor considers it medically necessary.

For low-income seniors who already qualify for Medicare, Texas offers Medicaid for the Elderly and People with Disabilities (MEPD). For those who live in a household where at least one family member is on Medicaid, there is a Health Insurance Premium Payment Program (HIPP) you can qualify for to cover the premium cost of the other person’s employer-sponsored health insurance.

To apply for Medicaid in Texas, you must use the Your Texas Benefits portal. If you need assistance or have questions, there are resources available to help: the Aging and Disability Resource Center of the Capital Area and the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. The Area Agency on Aging of the Capital Area houses both programs.

For all the details on Texas’ Medicaid program, take a look at the Texas Medicaid Reference Guide, commonly referred to as the “Pink Book.”

Medicare

If your loved one is 65, disabled, or has end-stage renal disease, Medicare is the federal health insurance program designed for them. Medicare will not pay for the cost of living in a memory care facility; however, Medicare will cover medically necessary health care delivered in the facility for short-term medical needs.

For additional savings, your loved one might qualify for a Medicare Savings Program or Extra Help. These programs can help offset the costs of Medicare premiums, copayments, and prescription drugs.

You can apply for Medicare and its programs online or by printing out enrollment forms and taking them to your local Social Security Administration (SSA) office.

Texas Health Information, Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP) provides a Medicare Helpline that gives free counseling to answer your questions about Medicare and assist with enrollment. The Williamson County long-term care ombudsman — at the Aging and Disability Resource Center of the Capital Area — is another person who can answer questions about Medicare.

Understand Texas laws and regulations for memory care facilities

Memory care facilities in Georgetown are licensed and inspected by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services. Memory care facilities must have a Type B assisted living facility license. This specific license is for facilities that house people who may need help during overnight hours and cannot follow directions, and need assistance in case of an emergency evacuation.

Memory care facilities must adhere to the regulations put forth in this Texas Administrative Code and this Health and Safety Code. These same codes apply to assisted living facilities. The only difference is there are additional standards for facilities that provide memory care, called Certified Alzheimer’s Assisted Living Facilities. These additional standards apply to staffing, staff training, activities, and the safety and security of the facility itself.

Memory care facility standards

In a facility with 17 or more residents, two staff members must be available immediately to help any resident who needs assistance. Otherwise, a specific ratio is not specified. However, facilities are expected to have sufficient staff to meet the needs of all residents. Staff members are also required to complete training specific to caring for residents with memory impairments.

Activities must be provided in a memory care facility that encourage residents to socialize and participate in physical activities. These planned activities must be individualized based on what’s appropriate for each resident and their needs and abilities.

There are additional provisions to ensure the facility itself is safe and secure for residents with memory issues. Most of them have to do with exits, alarms, secured outdoor spaces, and other facility-specific needs to ensure the safety of residents who might be prone to wandering.

To make sure facilities are living up to all these requirements, they are inspected at least once every two years by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services. You can go online to find out how facilities fared during inspections or see complaints on this long-term care provider search portal.

Transportation for seniors in Georgetown

Transportation can be tricky when your loved one has dementia or Alzheimer’s, but fortunately, 73% of our memory care partners provide free transportation and 9% offer it at cost — which means your loved one won’t be going anywhere alone.

If you’re looking for a way to take your loved one out for the day, you can consider using CARTS. The Capital Area Rural Transportation System operated through Central Texas on these fixed routes. Wheelchair accessibility is a feature of all the buses, and half-price fares apply to seniors who are at least 65 or anyone with a disability.

If your loved one needs paratransit service, GoGeo operates Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. When scheduling a ride, you’ll need to mention that you’ll be traveling with your loved one to provide assistance. Those 65 and older are automatically qualified for GoGeo by calling 512-478-RIDE to sign up.

The nonprofit organization Faith in Action offers rides through its Driving Seniors program. Volunteers will pick up your loved one at the door, walk them to the vehicle, and drive them to where they want to go. With the door-through-door service, they’ll even accompany seniors on their errands or medical appointments and even assist with filling out paperwork if needed. Because volunteers use their own vehicles, wheelchairs can’t be accommodated unless the rider is able to transfer to the vehicle on their own.

Senior activities in Georgetown

Memory loss doesn’t mean that all is lost. Your loved one can still enjoy peaceful moments and fun outings with you, and you’ll enjoy spending time with them. Georgetown features a lot of great options for reminiscing and spending time with your loved one.

Peace and relaxation under the sky

Sip sweet tea in the shade of 200-year-old oak trees or stroll the banks of the San Gabriel River at San Gabriel Park. This interactive parks and trails map can help you pick the best route for a walk; it has some shorter half-mile trails you and your loved one might enjoy. Take in the peaceful views at Lake Georgetown, or cast out a line and see if you or your loved one can get some bass, flathead, or channel cat to bite.

Georgetown’s most beautiful spot

It’s known as the most beautiful town square in Texas, and it just might be! After all, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places thanks to its intricate Victorian architecture. Take the free tour of the beautiful, fully renovated neoclassical Williamson County courthouse. Use this downtown Georgetown directory to pick up a great spot to visit for food, fun, or shopping

If your loved one wants to take a more literal trip down memory lane, make sure to take them to Pistons on the Square. It features a great lineup of classic cars, muscle cars, motorcycles and more every third Saturday from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. You might also be interested in checking out Market Days on the Square, which happens on the second Saturday of the month. You and your loved one can go at your own pace enjoying live music and artisan wares.

Georgetown Festivities

You and your loved one will want to take in some of the events at the Red Poppy Festival, which honors Georgetown’s status as the “Red Poppy Capital of Texas.” This weekend celebration is packed with all kinds of fun, from car shows to live music to a parade.

When the holidays roll around, take your loved one out to the Christmas Stroll. This festive local staple features Santa, a parade, live music, food trucks, and more.

Inclusion performance art

In 1925, the Georgetown Palace Theatre opened its doors to show silent films. In 1936, it was renovated in the Art Deco style to show “talkies.” Now, it’s a hot spot for the arts. The theater has been restored to its full glory and hosts plays, concerts, and more. It’s a welcoming place that makes sure everyone feels included and has a great time.

If you think your loved one might get restless trying to sit through a performance, try the free Free adaptive performances that offer shorter, more interactive versions for people with special needs. If sight and sound are an issue, your loved one can use the theater’s inductive hearing loop that delivers dialogue directly into hearing aids that have T-Coils. There is also an audio description, which is a verbal commentary explaining what’s happening on stage between moments of dialogue. It helps people stay looped into what’s going on so they can more independently enjoy the show. There’s also an American Sign Language night at least once for every staged performance.

Experience the memory cafe

Camille’s Memory Cafe is held at the Georgetown Public Library on the third Friday of every month for those living with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s or dementia. It’s a cozy, social gathering for both you and your loved one to connect with others in the same season of life. Each month, something is on the docket, from relaxing dulcimer music to Elvis impersonators, it’s always a fun time!

Treat yourself

Head back down memory lane to the 1940s-style diner called Monument Cafe, where fresh, homestyle cooking is served up. It’s so good that Guy Fieri and Matthew McConaughey dropped by for some King Ranch casserole and featured the spot on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.

If your sweet tooth is acting up, head to the Galaxy Bakery for cupcakes, cannoli, and more. Stop by The Yard Milkshake Bar for the most indulgent ice cream creations you’ve ever seen!
