Good to know

Questions, answered

What kind of home is Backbone Creek House?

Texas licenses homes like ours as assisted living facilities. We help with daily living, like bathing, dressing, meals and medications, with staff awake around the clock. We are not a nursing home and do not provide round-the-clock skilled nursing.

What is a life-story book?

Before move-in we sit with the family and write down who your loved one is: their work, places, faith, music, food and fears. Every caregiver reads it, and it shapes their day. Families keep a copy.

How do families pay?

Most residents pay privately or with long-term care insurance. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance. Some Texans qualify for help through Medicaid waiver programs. Ask our office and we will walk you through what may apply.

Can you care for someone with memory loss?

We care for residents with mild to moderate memory loss who are safe in an open home setting. If someone needs a secured memory care unit, Ruth Ann will tell you honestly and help you find one.

Can residents keep their own doctors?

Yes. We drive residents to their own doctors and share notes with every provider. A visiting physician also sees residents at the house monthly.

What happens if care needs grow?

Many residents stay with us through the end of life with hospice visiting. If someone needs more care than we can safely give, Ruth Ann helps the family plan the next step.
