Good to know

Questions, answered

What happens during a hurricane?

We have a written evacuation plan, contracted buses and an inland partner campus. Residents at every level of care move together with their caregivers and medications, and families are called before the first bus leaves.

What contracts do you offer?

A life care contract, with an entrance fee and monthly fees that stay steadier if you need more care, and a monthly rental with no entrance fee.

Does Medicare pay for any of this?

Medicare doesn't cover independent living, assisted living or long-term custodial care. Original Medicare Part A can cover short-term skilled nursing and rehab after a qualifying inpatient hospital stay.

Do you accept Medicaid?

Yes, in our skilled nursing center. Our business office can explain Texas Medicaid eligibility.

Do you take TRICARE?

TRICARE For Life works alongside Medicare for skilled nursing stays. Our social worker can help you sort out coverage.
