Key takeaways

  • The right answer depends on care level, budget, family availability, and timeline.
  • Talk to a free advisor before touring — saves 30+ hours and prevents over-spending on the wrong setting.
  • Texas-specific rules apply: HHSC licenses assisted living facilities under Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 247 and 26 TAC Chapter 553; Medicaid long-term care runs through the STAR+PLUS program and its HCBS waiver; memory care is delivered in Type B assisted living facilities with disclosure requirements rather than a separate state license.
  • Most placements happen faster than families expect — typical 7–14 days end-to-end.
