How to pay for memory care in Dallas, Texas

Paying for memory care in Dallas can be done in many ways, but timely planning enables families to maximize their options. Families tend to use some combination of private methods and public sources to fund memory care costs. Check out our compiled information and resources to help understand the various ways to pay for memory care in Dallas.

Private pay methods for memory care in Dallas

Income from savings and pensions is one way to pay for memory care. Long-term care insurance is another, but note that policies drastically vary, so it’s best to consult with your policy provider to learn exactly what is and isn’t covered in memory care communities. Below, you’ll find more ways to pay for memory care out of your own pocket:

VA benefits for memory care in Dallas, Texas

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, otherwise known as the VA, offers numerous benefits to seniors who have served in the armed forces. These benefits can be used to cover some memory care and long-term costs.

The Dallas County Veterans Service Office advocates for local veterans and surviving spouses and helps them obtain their veteran benefits, including the Aid and Attendance benefit or Housebound allowance and other pension benefits. To apply for disability compensation for veterans within a Dallas memory care facility, veterans must submit their medical history, diagnosis, prognosis, and proof of disability from a physician. They also need to include a fee statement from a memory care or assisted living facility.

To learn more about these benefits and what types of care they may cover, you can visit our complete guide to VA benefits for long-term care or this guide to VA memory care resources.

Medicaid for memory care in Dallas, Texas

The state of Texas offers five different types of Medicaid, but most families receive their coverage through the STAR managed care program. STAR offers a program called STAR+PLUS that is specifically for adults who have disabilities and/or are age 65+. This program can help cover health care costs in memory care facilities that have been licensed and certified by Texas Health and Human Services (also known as the HHS).

To get Medicaid to help pay for care services in a memory care facility, a qualifying senior can apply for the Home and Community Based Services (also known as HCBS) waiver through the STAR+PLUS program. The waiver enables individuals to reside and receive memory care within a residential community, rather than in an institutional hospital-like setting. The memory care communities covered under this waiver program must meet certain Home and Community Based setting standards, be integrated into the surrounding community, and not feel isolating to seniors.

As of 2022, Home and Community Based Services program requirements include that the senior meets the following criteria:

  • Be 65 years of age or older.
  • Earn less than $2,523 per month as an individual or $5,056 per month as a couple.[02]
  • Require an institutional level of care (or medical necessity) — meaning assistance is required with activities of daily living due to a medical condition, like dementia.[03]

Medical necessity is a confirmation from a physician of the senior’s need for full-time care services that would otherwise have to be provided in a nursing facility. Medical necessities are approved by the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership, also known as the Texas Medicaid claims administrator, who then provides approval for Medicaid to cover memory care costs.[04,05]

The Home and Community Based Services waiver program can help cover costs for the following services:

  • Adaptive aids, such as eyeglasses, hearing aids, orthotic devices, and orthopedic shoes
  • Cognitive rehabilitation therapy
  • Emergency response services
  • Dental services
  • Medical supplies
  • Nursing services
  • Personal care
  • Physical, occupational, and speech therapies
  • Respite care [06]

Some stand-alone memory care facilities may not qualify for the Home and Community Based Services waiver program; however, some assisted living facilities with a memory care unit will. For a memory care community to qualify, they must support their residents’ ability to do the following:

  • Seek work in integrated settings
  • Engage in community life
  • Control their personal resources
  • Receive services in the community [07]
Medicare memory care coverage in Dallas, Texas

Medicare doesn’t cover the room and board costs of a memory care facility, but it can help with some medical costs associated with dementia care services.

The Texas Medicare Savings Program may help cover some Medicare Parts A and B deductibles, premiums, coinsurance, and/or copayments. Part A covers hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home health care services. Part B covers certain doctors’ services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services. You must meet the following requirements to qualify for this savings program:

  • Be 65 years of age or older.
  • Have a maximum gross monthly income of $1,133 as an individual or $1,526 as a couple.

Medicare advocacy for Texas residents

The Health Information, Counseling, and Advocacy Program (HICAP) is Texas’ State Health Insurance Assistance Program. It offers legal advice, referrals, and assistance to Texans who are eligible for Medicare. This program helps families and their loved one understand and maximize their payment options.

Medical care tax breaks for Texas residents

Also keep in mind that some medical and memory care expenses may be tax-deductible on federal tax returns, provided they’re greater than 7.5% of a taxpayer’s adjusted gross income. Texas is also one of the few states in the U.S. without personal income tax, saving seniors from tax burden on their income sources, including Social Security benefits and other retirement benefits.[08,09]

Dual Medicare and Medicaid coverage in Dallas, Texas

  • Have Medicare Parts A, B, and D, and receive full Medicaid benefits.
  • Be enrolled in the STAR+PLUS Medicaid program for a minimum of 30 days.

Understand Texas laws and regulations for memory care facilities

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is the state agency responsible for licensing and regulating memory care facilities. The state categorizes memory care facilities under assisted living facilities; therefore, Texas memory care regulations are built into assisted living regulations and laws. The state of Texas refers to assisted living facilities as ALFs, and categorizes them into two main types:

  • Type A ALFs provide care to seniors who don’t need routine overnight attendance and are able to follow directions in an emergency.
  • Type B ALFs are for seniors who need nighttime attendance and staff assistance to evacuate during emergency situations. This type includes facilities with special care units, including memory care and skilled nursing.

All certified memory care facilities fall under the Type B assisted living facility (ALF). The main difference between general assisted living and those offering specialized memory care is that memory care-licensed assisted living communities must meet additional certification requirements. The additional licensing standards for assisted living facilities licensed in memory care include, but are not limited to, the following:

Memory care facility manager qualifications

  • To become a memory care facility manager, a person has to be 21 years old and possess an associate’s degree in nursing or health care management, a bachelor’s degree in a related field, or proof of high school graduation and at least a year of experience working with dementia patients.
  • A memory care facility manager must also participate in at least 6 hours of additional memory care-specific caregiver training on a yearly basis.

Memory care staffing and training regulations

  • Memory care facilities providing care to more than 17 residents must always have two caregiving staff members on site.
  • All memory care staff members must undergo 4 hours of memory care-specific training before they can assume any job-related duties or tasks.
  • After the initial training, caregiving staff must complete 16 hours of supervised training covering all of their responsibilities, including assisting with activities of daily living, behavior management, emergency procedures, and more.
  • Each memory care staff member will need to complete 12 hours of continued education and memory care training on a yearly basis.

Resident admission, assessments, and care plans

  • Each memory care facility must create a process for ensuring their ability to care for a potential resident and apply this process before admitting each resident.
  • Within a new resident’s initial two weeks, facilities are required to perform a resident assessment of behaviors, health conditions, communication abilities, dietary requirements, required medications, and ability to perform activities of daily living.
  • Resident assessments should be used to create care plans that accommodate residents’ needs, preferences, and strengths. These care plans should also keep them physically, cognitively, and socially healthy.
  • It’s mandatory that care plans be adjusted on an annual basis and after serious conditional changes in the resident.

Required activities program

  • Memory care facilities must have an activities program that encourages, not forces, socialization, self-expression, physical activity, and cognitive awareness.
  • A designated activity director is required to lead these activities and help ensure that there’s a healthy balance of group and individual activities that address varying cognitive, recreational, and activities of daily living (ADL) needs.
  • The activity director must also account for each resident’s medical history, limitations, and preferences to determine person-centered activities and arrange special equipment for residents who may need it.[10]

Memory care facility inspections

To regulate memory care-specialized assisted living facilities, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission performs unannounced inspections approximately every two years. Inspections are based on a facility’s compliance with Texas’ health and safety code, also referred to separately as the health code and life safety code.[06]

The health code inspection includes a review of the following:

  • Appropriate supervision levels for residents
  • Employee background checks
  • Management of the facility
  • Any items that could affect resident health [11]

The life safety code inspection includes a review of the following:

  • Construction of the facility
  • Safety and emergency features
  • Protection from hazardous areas
  • Documentation of fire drills, system checks, etc. [11]

Families can see each licensed community’s most recent inspection report and general facility information through the Long-term Care Provider Search provided by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

For additional information, you can email RSLTCR.RecordsMgmt@hhsc.state.tx.us or visit this section on the Long-term Care Provider Search page.

COVID-19 regulations for Dallas memory care facilities

Memory care facilities in Dallas, Texas, follow the same COVID-19 regulations as assisted living facilities. All long-term care facilities are required to develop their own policies and procedures regarding masking, social distancing, and additional protocols for personal protective equipment (PPE) to govern the safety of residents. Now that emergency rules have expired in Texas, visitors are allowed on site at facilities because visitation is a resident right.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) developed a COVID-19 response plan and regularly updates a list of COVID-19 FAQs to help assisted living and memory care facilities stay up to date with the following practices:

Single icon image

Vaccinations. COVID-19 vaccines cannot be mandated; however, all facilities should make them available.

Single icon image

Masking. Visitors, staff, and residents aren’t required to wear masks unless indicated by the facility’s infection control policies and procedures.

Single icon image

Staff safety. Staff must use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when called for.

Single icon image

Facility cleanliness. Surfaces must be frequently disinfected to prevent the spread of infection.

Dallas aims to enhance the lives of seniors with dementia

Dallas offers an array of memory care facilities and services dedicated to improving the lives of those living with dementia. The city has a fund called AWARE, as a part of The Dallas Foundation, to provide funding to outstanding programs, projects, and research organizations that support the fight against Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

Dallas also has a local Alzheimer’s Association chapter dedicated to providing support services and education to those facing the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. These programs and services can be used by family members to get a better understanding of dementia. Families can also choose to donate to support the development of resources and programs for individuals with dementia in the Dallas area.

Memory care community features in Dallas

Due to Texas’ robust memory care regulations, the city’s memory care facilities try to personalize their residents’ experiences as best as possible. With regulations that are designed to promote quality of life and care for dementia patients, families can narrow their search to the specific community features that will best enrich their loved one’s life.

Memory care within assisted living facilities

Many Dallas-area assisted living facilities offer a secured memory care unit for individuals with dementia, so they can reside in a safe environment built to minimize risks around wandering and confusion. Some communities also integrate activities with the assisted living units to benefit individuals with only mild dementia, so a wide spectrum of care is available and tailored to all residents. These types of communities are a good choice for couples who want to live together, but require different levels of care.

Person-centered dementia care

Care must be personalized to the individual in the state of Texas. That is precisely why many communities have adapted a person-centered care approach, dedicated to learning about each individual’s personality, history, preferences, and interests. This personal information is then used by staff members and caregivers to curate residents’ optimum routines and person-centered service plans, including favorite clothes and personalized sleep schedules. Oftentimes, communities will collaborate with families to customize things like a resident’s living quarters, dining plan, or activity options.

Personalized activity programs

Memory care communities in Dallas are required to support activities. Many communities try to develop a truly unique, person-centered program filled with a combination of active and calming activities to entertain residents and help manage their dementia behaviors. These programs help residents maintain a sense of purpose and enhance their quality of life — through personalized activities that are meaningful to them as individuals.

Many communities also use reminiscence therapy, which stimulates the brain and enables dementia patients to recall cherished memories through mementos. Life skill stations are designed and tailored to residents to replicate the environment of their old professions. And sensory therapies help residents to relive cherished moments using songs, scents, textures, and tastes.

Safe and monitored environments

Memory care communities often have enclosed courtyards and walking paths, innovative security systems, monitored entrances, easy-to-navigate hallways, and safety call systems to help ensure resident safety. Many communities also have on-site nurses, 24-hour staff, and visiting doctors to oversee proper, timely care.
