Medicaid: Texas residents who qualify for facility level of care may be eligible for Texas STAR+PLUS Medicaid managed care, including the STAR+PLUS Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver through one of the state's managed care organizations (Molina Healthcare, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, Superior HealthPlan (Centene), or Aetna Better Health). The STAR+PLUS HCBS waiver can cover personal/attendant care in an assisted living facility or at home, but it does not pay for assisted living room and board.

How to evaluate Walnut Place

The strongest predictors of care quality at a senior-care community aren't in the brochure. Ask the overnight caregiver-to-resident ratio (daytime numbers hide the real picture), staff turnover rate over the past year, and how long the administrator has been in place. Ask what care needs would force a move-out and how the care plan is reviewed. Walk the halls during a meal and an activity — notice whether residents are engaged. Verify the HHSC license and inspection history through the HHSC Long-Term Care Provider Search.
