I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Juliette Fowler Communities

My wife's mother is a current resident of Juliette Fowler Communities. We know them really well, and they have a really long waiting list. My mother was there, my sister was there, and a cousin was there. My mother-in-law is just tickled pink that she has found it, and that she was able to get in. She loves it there, she loves the people, she loves the services, and they have taken really good care of her. She is ninety-nine years old and still kicking butt. She has a one-bedroom, one-bath. The layout is for a single or a couple, and it is good. You don't really hear your neighbors unless they bang on the wall to get help, which doesn't happen too often. They have regular individual apartments, assisted apartments, and fully assisted apartments. They mainly serve lunches, but they have a service where for $5 they will deliver meals to your door. She's loving the meals down there, and she also loves the laundry room. They have a TV room on each floor, they have puzzles and activities, and they take them to stores and doctors appointments. They don't put salt and stuff on their food, and so it's kind of bland, but it's good and healthy stuff.

It was fine. The lady who assisted me was good to me, and she was helpful. The apartment looked good, she said they had to clean it up, but it still looked good. The dining area looked nice; I would eat there. They had a gym.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Estates at Shiloh

My mother is very happy there. She is very happy with her room and also with the maintenance man there. They don't have full food service like three meals a day. Because they have their own kitchens, mainly they just provide an optional breakfast. You can go to the entertainment area, and they have a buffet set up there with all kinds of food on it. I really like it and I like the concept that they have there. They have a great staff, too. It is a very old property, but still it is very nice. It is all bill included. There is also a maid service once a week. I love that it has a really nice heart-like setting which is really nice. It is super easy for my mother to go in and give them the information to move in.

I like it. It's a great place. The food is awesome, and there are a lot of activities available. They have golf on a putting green once a week, a movie night, and beanbag baseball. Everything is great here.

They were very nice, but it's over my budget. The staff was wonderful. The accommodations were better than apartments to me, and they're really nice. The facility was wonderful. I just couldn't afford it.

I visited this facilityReview of Sunrise of Hillcrest

Sunrise of Hillcrest was very good and very favorable. They had everything well thought out. They gave me a tour of the eating facilities, their activities, and the rooms in both assisted living and memory care. They were all very impressive. The staff member who accommodated me was great. I saw some of the residents eating as well as the menu, and it looked very good.

I am/was a resident of this facilityReview of Meadowstone Place

I would give Meadowstone Place a ten. I hate to leave, but its because I need to be close to family, or I would never leave. The staff is great. They have two chefs that are absolutely wonderful, and they offer cleaning if you need it. Theres always somebody there to say, Can I help you with that? Its just very friendly and very nice. They have cards, they do crafts, they bring outside entertainment, they have lectures, food demonstrations, and they go places like the symphony, shopping center, and movies. They also have in-house movies that are always excellent. Anything you want to do, if you just tell them, they try to get those things in their activities if they're possible. They usually try to get you a good rate, like to go the movies, concerts, or plays. Ive taken advantage of all those and Im so pleased. They take you to doctors' appointments and I cant sing their praises enough.

I visited this facilityReview of Brookdale Lake Highlands

Brookdale Lake Highlands was in a very nice location. They had a totally separate area for their memory care and the assisted living. It looked more like a luxury hotel. They had a wellness facility and even offered yoga. They had a piano there. There were two females who accommodated me. As soon as I walked in, they got me some coffee. They had snacks for the residents. I talked to the nurse on one of the floors who was very knowledgeable. It's an extremely clean facility.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Dallas

Medicaid in Texas

The Texas Medicaid managed care program is called STAR+PLUS. The program provides access to care for residents of Texas who are living with disabilities or who are aged 65 or older and require access to long-term care. STAR+PLUS covers a variety of services for its participants, including medical care, social support, case management and assisted living or home care.

The program accepts a limited number of applicants each year and is only open to seniors in one of the following categories:

Receiving Supplemental Security Income
Receiving Medicaid through a Social Security exclusion program
Enrolled in Medicaid’s Breast and Cervical Cancer program
Eligible for the STAR+PLUS Home and Community-Based Services waiver
Residing in a nursing home and receiving Medicaid

In addition to being in one of the aforementioned categories, seniors must be 65 years of age or older, reside in Texas and require long-term care. Seniors must also have a monthly income that does not exceed $750 per month and can not possess assets valued at more than $2,000, with the exception of their home, which may not exceed a value of $500,000.

For more details about the eligibility requirements of this program and how to apply, seniors can contact 1-866-566-8989.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Community First Choice

Medicaid provides the Community First Choice program, which is exclusive to residents of Texas. CFC helps seniors who require long-term nursing care avoid further institutionalization. The program provides nurse visits and support services to those who reside in assisted living facilities or are receiving home care.

CFC is an entitlement program, which means that it has more flexible eligibility requirements than STAR+PLUS. Seniors who apply for this program must be 65 years of age or older, require long-term care and meet the financial eligibility requirements of the STAR+PLUS program. For more details regarding eligibility and how to apply, seniors can call 1-866-566-8989.

Optional State Supplement

In most cases, Medicaid programs only provide financial assistance with the cost of services in long-term care facilities. Seniors who require financial support to pay for the cost of room and board can apply for Texas’ optional state supplement. The supplement is intended to help low-income seniors afford costs not related to services while in long-term care such as assisted living facilities.

In order to receive OSS, seniors must already receive Supplemental Security Income payments and be residing in an approved facility. OSS benefits are calculated based on the senior’s budgetary needs and current SSI benefits. To apply, seniors can contact the Texas Department of Health and Human Services at 1-855-937-2372.

Community Care for the Aged and Disabled

Community Care for the Aged and Disabled is a Texas Department of Health and Human Services’ non-Medicaid program. CCAD offers several care options to seniors who are not eligible for or not receiving Medicaid but still require some financial assistance with the cost of care. Seniors participating in this program may be living in their own home and receiving home care services or in an assisted living facility.

To be eligible, seniors must be 65 years of age or older and require daily supportive care. They are also required to be financially eligible for this program, which means they may not have an income exceeding $2,250 per month and may not own assets valued at more than $5,000.

To apply, seniors can visit their local Aging and Disability Resource Center or call 1-855-937-2372.

Long-Term Care Insurance

Seniors and older adults who foresee the need for long-term care in their future may buy a long-term care insurance policy. Insured seniors who can claim the cost of assisted living through their insurance provider. In most cases, coverage comes with considerable deductibles, so it’s important to carefully consider the terms of the policy before purchasing.

The insurance company providing the policy determines eligibility. In most cases, current health status and health history play a role in determining eligibility and premiums.

Elderlife Bridge Loan

Seniors living in Dallas and other parts of Texas who are unable to receive Medicaid or OSS payments can apply for an elder bridge loan from Elderlife Financial Services. Bridge loans are paid directly to the senior’s care facility, and the senior and any applicable cosigners pay them back in monthly installments.

Although eligibility is dependent on income and credit history, seniors are allowed up to six cosigners who are willing to help make payments on the loan, a feature that can drastically increase the likelihood of approval.
