How people pay for memory care in Austin
There are several ways to pay for memory care in Austin. Families usually combine some personal income sources, insurance policies, and pension income. Qualifying seniors also use federal and state programs, such as veterans benefits, Medicaid, and Medicare, to help cover some medical and memory care costs. In this section, you’ll find an overview of the most common payment methods used by families.
Private payment methods for memory care include your senior loved one’s personal income sources, including their savings accounts, Social Security benefits, retirement pensions, and investment returns. And, Texas seniors don’t have to worry about these income sources being taxed at the state level, because Texas doesn’t levy a personal income tax.
If your senior loved one has long-term care insurance, they could also use that to defray some costs. However, policies vary, so it’s recommended that you reach out to their policy provider to learn about what memory care costs can be covered.
Depending on your loved one’s current circumstances, you can also turn to the following private pay methods to pay for memory care:
Can seniors use veterans benefits to pay for memory care?
If your senior loved one is a veteran, they may be able to use additional funds provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to pay for rent at a memory care community in Austin, Texas. Senior veterans and their surviving spouses may be eligible for VA pension benefits. The Aid and Attendance benefit is especially helpful for seniors as it can be added to their existing VA pension benefits to cover anything that improves a senior’s quality of life — which could include memory care.
Does my senior loved one qualify for veterans benefits?
If you have any questions about your loved one’s eligibility for VA benefits, you should reach out to a local Veterans Service Organization (VSO). These are VA-vetted organizations that help veterans find options they may not know about. They’ll even help you or your loved one successfully file for a claim or appeal a denied claim.
It’s in your best interest to reach out to a local VSO before applying for benefits as they’ll help your loved one obtain and maximize their earned benefits. Some Austin assisted living and memory care communities even partner with local veteran programs to help potential senior residents obtain the benefits they’ve earned. You can also check out this service-connected ailments list to see whether your loved one’s disability or condition qualifies them for benefits.

Medicaid is a joint federal and state health insurance program that provides coverage to individuals with limited income and resources. Even though it cannot be used to pay rent at a memory care community, it can help cover some long-term health care services and medically necessary care services within a memory care community.
STAR+PLUS Medicaid program
In Texas, most qualifying seniors receive their Medicaid coverage through STAR+PLUS — the state’s managed care program for seniors 65+ and individuals with disabilities. It’s managed by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), and it covers the following health care and long-term services:
- Doctor visits
- Help with activities of daily living (ADLs) in a senior’s home
- Home modifications
- Respite care
- Personal assistance
Keep in mind that STAR+PLUS can only cover health care and long-term care services through agencies licensed and certified by the HHSC.
Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver program
For additional services to be covered within a memory care facility, seniors must be eligible for the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Medicaid waiver program. This waiver can be used in memory care and assisted living facilities contracted with the resident’s managed care provider. The HCBS waiver enables seniors to reside and receive care in a residential setting like a memory care community rather than an institutional setting like a nursing home.
Many stand-alone memory care facilities may not qualify as an HCBS setting; however, some memory care group homes and assisted living facilities with a memory care unit will. Be sure to check with each prospective community if you plan to use Medicaid to pay for care services.
To qualify as an HCBS setting, facilities must meet the following qualifications:[03]
- Be integrated into a greater community
- Provide opportunities for interested residents to seek work or volunteer
- Help an interested senior engage in local community life
- Allow the senior to control their personal resources
- Allow the senior to receive Medicaid care services
When a senior applies for STAR+PLUS, the HHSC will also assess their need for the HCBS waiver program. As of 2023, seniors must meet the following requirements to qualify:[04,05]
- Be 65 years of age or older
- Require an institutional, nursing-home level of care
- Have a maximum monthly income of $2,742 as an individual or $5,484 as a couple
The HCBS waiver programs can help cover costs of the following services within a memory care facility:[06]
- Personal care
- Medical supplies
- Dental services
- Adaptive aids, such as eyeglasses, hearing aids, orthotic devices, and orthopedic shoes
- Nursing services
- Respite care
- Cognitive rehabilitation therapy
- Physical, occupational, and speech therapies
If you need help understanding your loved one’s eligible Medicaid benefits, find a Texas Health and Human Services office near you or search for local programs through their services search tool. You can also contact your local area agencies on aging (AAAs) for assistance in accessing local long-term care services and disability programs. Below, you’ll find more resources to help you better understand Medicaid benefits for seniors along with search tools that’ll help you locate Medicaid benefits offices in Austin.
Austin resident Medicaid resources
Medicare is a federal health insurance program that provides coverage to adults aged 65 and older and individuals with disabilities. It cannot be used to cover room and board costs in an Austin memory care community, but it can help cover some medically necessary care costs within a memory care facility.
The following Texas programs can help you save on Medicare costs and apply for Medicare benefits:
- The Texas Medicare Savings Program covers some Medicare Parts A and B premiums, deductibles, copayments, and/or coinsurance. Part A covers hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home health care services. Part B covers certain doctors’ services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services.
As of 2022, seniors must not exceed a monthly income of $1,133 as an individual or $1,526 as a couple to qualify for this program.[05]
- The Texas Legal Services Center (TLSC) houses the Health Information, Counseling, and Advocacy Program (commonly referred to as HICAP) and the Legal Hotline for Texans, which offers seniors legal advice, referrals, and assistance with Medicare.

Understand Texas laws and regulations for memory care facilities
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is the state agency responsible for licensing and regulating memory care facilities. Memory care facilities are considered a type of assisted living in Texas, so memory care regulations are built into existing assisted living regulations and laws. The state of Texas refers to assisted living facilities as ALFs and categorizes them into two main types:[07]
- Type A ALFs provide care to seniors who don’t need routine overnight attendance and are able to follow directions in an emergency.
- Type B ALFs are for seniors who need nighttime attendance and staff assistance to evacuate during emergency situations. This type includes facilities with special care units, including memory care and skilled nursing.
All certified memory care facilities fall under the Type B assisted living facility (ALF). The main difference between general assisted living and assisted living facilities with memory care is that the latter must meet additional certification requirements. Texas’ memory care regulations hold memory care communities to a higher standard than other states. Regulations require memory care staff to continuously learn about the latest dementia research and train in tried-and-true memory care techniques. Texas even requires facilities to offer specialized memory care programming to actively engage residents.
The additional licensing standards for assisted living facilities licensed in memory care include but are not limited to the following:
Memory care staffing and training regulations
- Memory care facilities providing care to more than 17 residents are required to have two caregiving staff members on-site at all times.
- Caregiving staff must undergo 4 hours of memory care-specific training before they assume any job-related duties or tasks.
- After the initial training, caregiving staff must complete 16 hours of on-the-job supervised training. This training should encompass all of their responsibilities, including assisting with activities of daily living, behavior management, emergency procedures, and more.
- Memory care facility managers are required to complete 6 hours of memory care training on an annual basis, while their memory care team will need to complete 12 hours of continued education and memory care training on a yearly basis.
Memory care admissions, assessments, and care plans
- It’s required for each memory care facility to develop a process for ensuring their ability to care for a potential resident and apply this process before admitting each resident.
- Within a new resident’s initial two weeks after admission, facilities are required to perform an assessment of the resident’s behaviors, health conditions, communication abilities, dietary requirements, required medications, and ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL).
- Resident assessments should be used to craft personalized care plans that accommodate residents’ needs, preferences, and strengths. These care plans should keep a resident physically, cognitively, and socially healthy.
- Care plans must be adjusted on an annual basis and after serious conditional changes in the resident.
Memory care activities programming
- Memory care facilities must have an activities program that encourages, not forces, socialization, self-expression, physical activity, and cognitive awareness among residents.
- A designated activity director is required to lead activities and help ensure a healthy balance of group and individual activities that address varying cognitive, recreational, and activities of daily living (ADL) needs.
- The activity director must also consider each resident’s medical history, limitations, and preferences to determine person-centered activities. They must also arrange special equipment for the residents who need it.[08]
Memory care facility inspections
To regulate memory care-specialized assisted living facilities, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission performs unannounced inspections approximately every two years after the initial inspection. Inspections assess a facility’s compliance with Texas’ health and life safety code.[09]
The health code inspection includes a review of the following:
- Appropriate staff-to-resident ratios
- Employee background checks
- Management of the facility
- Any items that could affect resident health
The life safety code inspection reviews the following:[09,10]
- Construction of the facility
- Safety and emergency features
- Protection from hazardous areas
- Documentation of fire drills, system checks, etc.
You can access each licensed community’s most recent inspection report and general facility information through the Texas Health and Human Services’ Long-term Care Provider Search. For any additional information not found in reports, you can email rsltcr.recordsmgmt@hhsc.state.tx.us.

COVID-19 regulations for Austin memory care facilities
There are currently no COVID-19 regulations specific to memory care communities in Austin. However, the state does qualify memory care facilities as assisted living facilities; therefore, they must follow assisted living guidelines. The state requires assisted living facilities to develop their own infection prevention and control measures for common infections, including COVID-19. The measures may include guidance on the community’s hygiene practices, disinfection and sterilization techniques, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), safe injection methods, and physical distancing requirements.
Because communities are allowed to set their own rules, it’s best to check with your prospective community to see what measures are being taken to protect seniors against common infections and COVID-19. You can also visit the COVID-19 in Austin page on the city website for regular updates regarding risk levels, testing, vaccinations, and more.

What to expect from memory care communities in Austin
Austin’s 65+ senior population has seen nearly a 75% increase over the last decade.[02] The rise can be attributed to Austin’s wealth of health care options, warm weather, unique activities, and increase in senior-friendly initiatives.
To accommodate seniors experiencing dementia, the city has an Alzheimer’s Association Capital of Texas Chapter, and it takes on many initiatives to raise awareness. Some initiatives include events, classes, and conferences dedicated to Alzheimer’s disease awareness and research.
The city of Austin has also expanded its senior living options to accommodate people with dementia by offering unique memory care communities. Learn more about the unique features of Austin memory care facilities and how they’re built to accommodate seniors with dementia below.
Memory care staff receive specialized training to manage common dementia symptoms
Our partnering Austin memory care facilities strive to offer a personalized experience for seniors with dementia. That is precisely why Texas requires memory care communities to provide specialized memory care training to its caregiving staff. In fact, 95% of communities use redirection, cueing, and reorientation techniques to help manage common dementia symptoms. Through comprehensive training and learned techniques, dementia caregivers aim to help manage common symptoms in seniors with dementia. Here’s a brief overview of what symptoms memory care caregivers are equipped to handle:[01]
- 95% of communities specially train their staff to handle dementia symptoms like restlessness, pacing, and wandering.
- 60% of communities specially train their caregivers to handle hallucinations and delusions.
- 50% of communities specially train their caregivers to handle anxiety, aggression, or agitation.
Memory care communities personalize activities to encourage reminiscence and socialization
Due to memory care regulations in Texas, Austin memory care facilities must offer specialized activities programming for senior residents. The programming must encourage residents to socialize, express themselves, exercise, and stimulate their minds. This naturally means that all of our partner facilities offer robust on-site activities.
Memory care communities are also required to appoint an activity director to manage and facilitate the specialized activities program. Some communities put this responsibility on trained caregivers; however, most of our partner communities employ a full-time activity director to run the program. This director dedicates time to learning about each resident’s medical history, preferences, and abilities to establish person-centered activities for them. Some of the most common memory care activities include the following:
- Reminiscence therapies. Person-centered therapeutic activities often involve reminiscence. These activities are informed by a resident’s family, friends, and sometimes physician. Reminiscence often enables residents to reflect on cherished memories and create new, joyful memories through activities like art classes, movie viewings, brain-stimulating games, and memory boxes.
- Social activities and events. Dementia and aging are known to be associated with feelings of isolation. To combat loneliness, many partner communities host group activities and events to socially and physically engage residents. Ranging from simple fitness classes and interest clubs to holiday celebrations and movie nights, memory care residents will find themselves forming new friendships while keeping up with their favorite pastimes.
Memory care communities ensure resident safety through intentional design and other features
Because seniors with dementia are often prone to confusion and wandering, many memory care facilities prioritize security. In our Austin network, 100% of communities offer round-the-clock staffing while 75% offer on-site nursing to help ensure timely care and safety for residents. About 70% of communities are also designed to specifically accommodate memory loss. This means that they incorporate human-centered architecture and design to promote comfort and reduce confusion for residents navigating the community.[01]
To further prevent wandering, most memory care partners in Austin offer an enclosed courtyard, enabling residents to enjoy fresh air in a safe space. Residents can also freely roam indoor and outdoor walking paths that are monitored by staff. A select few communities also take advanced security measures by installing high-tech systems that enable faster responses to wandering. These systems detect residents’ movements and send alerts when a resident gets near a boundary or wanders off the premises.

Transportation for seniors in Austin
Due to the dangers of wandering and confusion among dementia patients, it’s not recommended for seniors with dementia to use public transportation. Luckily, most memory care communities provide transportation services. In fact, 90% of our partner memory care facilities in Austin offer at-cost or complimentary transportation services with trained caregiver escorts.
Furthermore, if a senior is a Medicaid recipient and they don’t have transportation services at their community, they may receive rides through the medical transportation program provided by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Services include rides to doctors’ offices, hospitals, drug stores, or any places that provide Medicaid-covered health care services. Keep in mind that it’s still important for seniors with dementia to have a caregiving escort during these trips to ensure their safe arrival and return.
Family and friends may also find it useful to learn about public transportation options to get around when visiting a senior loved one at a memory care community. CapMetro offers buses, rail lines, shuttles, and more throughout Austin. The public transportation system even offers seniors 65+ a Reduced Fare ID (RFID) Card for $3, enabling families to enjoy trips with their loved ones with accommodations for any mobility impairments they may have. After the initial $3 for the card, seniors will pay half-priced fares for any rides, and the card must be renewed every two years.

Austin offers many unique activities for seniors in any stage of dementia. Some Austin memory care communities take residents out for scheduled outings to local attractions and events.
