The Georgetown market specifically

Georgetown's senior care market exists at the scale it does largely because of Sun City Texas, a Del Webb 55-plus development of roughly 7,500 to 8,500 homes. A concentration of active retirees eventually produces demand for care as residents age in place, and Georgetown has more purpose-built senior housing per capita than its size would predict.

Georgetown also draws families who do not live here, because Sun City residents' adult children are frequently out of state. If that describes you, weight scheduled transportation, telehealth support and how the community communicates with distant families more heavily than you otherwise would.

Who is actually on shift

Ask how many caregivers and med aides are on the floor at 3 a.m., not the building-wide daytime ratio. Ask what happens when someone calls in sick, and whether the community uses agency staff to fill gaps. Agency coverage is not disqualifying, but heavy reliance on it changes continuity in ways families feel.

Ask how long the administrator and the director of nursing have been in post. Turnover at the top is the single best predictor of turnover below it.

You can check any Texas facility's record free. Use TULIP for current license status and the legacy HHSC provider search for inspection and deficiency history. Read the full explanation →

Questions Austin families ask

How much spending money does a Texas nursing home resident keep?

Texas sets the Personal Needs Allowance at $75 per month, raised from $60 effective January 1, 2024. That's well above the $30 federal minimum. Nearly all remaining income, after Medicare premiums, any spousal allowance, and allowable medical expenses, goes to the facility as applied income.

Will Texas take my mother's house after she goes on Medicaid?

Texas may file an estate recovery claim after death if she was 55 or older when receiving services and first applied for long-term services on or after March 1, 2005. This covers nursing home care and STAR+PLUS. Texas never recovers more than it paid, and exemptions and hardship waivers exist.

Does Texas have a state program that pays for assisted living?

Not broadly. Texas has no general state-funded assisted living benefit. Two narrow options exist: STAR+PLUS Medicaid waiver assisted living services covering care but not room and board, and the state-funded Residential Care program under Community Care for Aged and Disabled, funded by Title XX block grants with interest lists.

How do I get on the STAR+PLUS waiver list in Austin?

Call 2-1-1 or visit YourTexasBenefits.com to join the interest list, then apply for Medicaid. Next comes a medical necessity assessment, choosing a managed care organization, and building a service plan with a coordinator. The Capital Area ADRC at 855-937-2372 can help you navigate the process.
