The Kyle market specifically

Kyle sits on the I-35 corridor in fast-growing Hays County, with newer purpose-built assisted living and memory care. Hays County grew 26.3 percent between 2020 and 2025, and senior housing is still catching up to that, so availability can be better here than in Travis County.

Kyle's inventory is newer than most of the metro because the housing stock is. That helps on building quality and hurts on track record, since several communities here have short inspection histories to review.

Questions Austin families ask

Does Texas Medicaid pay for assisted living?

Partially. The STAR+PLUS HCBS waiver covers assisted living care services but explicitly does not cover room and board, which comes from the resident's own income. You must meet nursing facility level of care, income under $2,982 monthly, and assets under $2,000, and usually wait on an interest list.

What's the Medicaid income limit for a nursing home in Texas in 2026?

For a single applicant in 2026, monthly income must be under $2,982 and countable assets under $2,000. Your home and one vehicle are generally exempt. You must also meet Nursing Facility Level of Care. A community spouse may keep a separate resource allowance.

How much money can my spouse keep if I go into a nursing home in Texas?

Texas allows a Community Spouse Resource Allowance so the at-home spouse isn't impoverished, reported at $162,660 for 2026. The applicant spouse is limited to $2,000. Because these figures change annually and the calculation is complex, confirm current amounts with HHSC or a Texas elder law attorney.

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.
