The Leander market specifically

Leander is the far northwest edge of the metro and the thinnest market covered here, with options clustered near Crystal Falls Parkway. Most Leander families end up considering Cedar Park as well, which is close enough to be practical for regular visits.

Because Leander's own licensed capacity is thin, most families here end up choosing in Cedar Park or Round Rock. Treat the search radius as the 183A corridor rather than the city limit, and the options open up considerably.

Visit twice, at different hours

A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised, so ask the overnight ratio specifically rather than the daytime one.

Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to. Neither takes long and both tell you more than the brochure.

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.
