It's great - my family member loves it there. They've been very nice and treat her respectfully. She likes the people that she's met. We love the apartment - it's perfect for her. Really the only issue is her water pressure, which she's having a hard time getting them to fix.

How people pay for independent living in Georgetown

Seniors can pay for independent living through several methods, such as private income and VA benefits. However, independent living facilities are not covered by Medicaid, Medicare, or long-term care insurance.

In this section, we’ll discuss which methods you can use to pay for independent living. You’ll also learn how Medicare and Medicaid can be used to pay for medical costs while living in an independent living facility.

Private pay methods

There are several private pay methods seniors can use to pay for independent living costs, including personal savings and investment returns, Social Security benefits, and pensions. Other private pay methods include:

VA benefits
6397

Number of veterans who live in Georgetown

About 67% of Georgetown veterans are 65+

More than 6,000 veterans live in Georgetown, and 67% are at or over retirement age. That means you’re not alone if you are looking into benefits for veterans to help pay for senior living. There are myriad benefits that apply to veterans depending on their circumstances, but two of the most common are the VA Pension and the Aid and Attendance benefits. The Pension is paid monthly, and the Aid and Attendance is an additional amount on top of that to help improve the quality of life for veterans who need help with daily activities.

Determining eligibility and navigating the application process is difficult, but there are people to help guide you. Veterans service officers are VA-approved and trained experts that provide free assistance. They can be found at the Williamson County Veterans Services Office or at veterans service organizations, such as the American Legion. If you’re not sure if you qualify for any benefits, it is worth connecting with these experts to check.

Medicaid

Medicaid in Texas is medical coverage for low-income seniors and those with disabilities. Medicaid doesn’t cover the cost of an independent living facility, but you may be able to use it for in-home health care that a doctor says is medically needed. If eligible, a home and community based services waiver would provide coverage for the health care you need at your independent living facility.

Additionally, Texas has Medicaid for the Elderly and People with Disabilities (MEPD). This program is for eligible low-income seniors who already have Medicare. Your Texas Benefits portal is the place to apply for MEPD.

The state also has the Health Insurance Premium Payment Program (HIPP) that will pay for the premium for employer-sponsored health insurance in a family where one person is on Medicaid. You can also apply for HIPP online.

You can apply for Texas Medicaid online. But if you need help figuring it all out, the Area Agency on Aging of the Capital Area operates the Aging and Disability Resource Center of the Capital Area, as well as the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. These resources can assist you with the application process and answer questions you might have.

For more information, this Texas Medicaid Reference Guide called the “Pink Book,” is available to Georgetown residents.

Medicare

If you’re at least 65 years old, Medicare is the federal health insurance program for you. It doesn’t pay for the rent in an independent living community, but it can help cover medically necessary in-home care at your independent living facility for short-term medical needs. This list details your Medicare coverage.

Medicare Savings Programs are another cost-saving option for low-income seniors. This program can pay for some or all of the Medicare premiums or copayments. A low-income subsidy called Extra Help is offered in Texas to provide additional help for prescription drug coverage.

Texas offers a free Medicare Helpline to assist you with understanding and applying for Medicare as part of the Texas Health Information, Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP). HICAP offers no-cost counseling about your Medicare options and can also help you enroll. The Williamson County long-term care ombudsman is another great resource. The ombudsman can be found through the Aging Aging and Disability Resource Center of the Capital Area.

You can apply for Medicare online or by using enrollment forms and taking them to your local Social Security Administration (SSA) office.

Understand Texas laws and regulations for independent living communities

Independent living communities don’t require a license to operate in Texas. They’re treated the same as any other rental complex because they don’t provide personal or medical care. The facilities do, however, have to adhere to federal laws, such as the Fair Housing Act and Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Both of these laws ensure people are not discriminated against when looking for housing.

The Texas attorney general has a comprehensive list of renter’s rights, and the state also provides this Texas Landlord/Tenant Law Guide that also serves to provide a full picture of your rental rights and responsibilities.

When an independent living community also offers assistance

Things change a bit when an independent living community is also combined with assisted living and/or memory care, and this can often be the case. In that situation, the facility would be subject to licensing and regulatory requirements under this Texas Administrative Code and this Health and Safety Code.

An assisted living facility would generally need a Type A license, which means residents can comprehend directions in case of emergency and don’t require help during the night. A memory care facility would need a Type B license, which is for facilities with residents who would not be able to evacuate during an emergency without assistance — and they might also require help during the nighttime.

These licenses come from the Texas Department of Health and Human Services, which also inspects the facilities at least once every two years. You can access inspection and complaint information on this long-term care provider search portal.

Health care for seniors in Georgetown

Within the 10-mile radius of Georgetown’s city center, residents have a lot of great health care options. Going south just a few more miles into Texas’ capital of Austin, even more options open up.

Transportation for seniors in Georgetown

Getting around Georgetown by bike or on foot isn’t really an option. While you can get around as a pedestrian in the Old Town District or downtown, you’ll need four wheels everywhere else. Walk Score, which grades the walkability of an address, only rates Georgetown’s walkability as a 23 on a scale of 100 (and a 35 for bicycling).[04]

If you’re not able to or don’t like to drive, you can potentially rely on the transportation provided by our partner independent living facilities since three-quarters of them offer it for free, and 38% offer it at cost.

Another option is CARTS, a bus and van service that runs fixed routes around Central Texas. Wheelchair accessibility and bike racks are features of all CARTS buses. If you are disabled or at least 65 years old, you can enjoy half-price fares. That deal applies to one-off rides and monthly passes.

GoGeo, the limited paratransit service in Georgetown, operates weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. There is an eligibility process that requires a paper application to be filled out. However, if you’re at least 65, you are automatically eligible and can sign up by phone. Just call 512-478-RIDE.

Faith in Action’s Driving Seniors program is another way to get around town. Volunteer drivers use their own vehicles to give seniors door-to-door service. The rides offered by this nonprofit organization are free; however, wheelchairs can’t be accommodated.

Senior activities in Georgetown

Hit up area attractions

It’s pretty much impossible to miss the Inner Space Cavern, which has been open to visitors since 1966. While you’re there, you can partake in some gemstone panning, pick up some gourmet fudge, or hop on the Saber Tooth Zip Ride.

Appreciate some art for all

Take in a live performance at the historic, renovated Art Deco Georgetown Palace Theatre, where they go the extra mile to make sure everyone has something to enjoy. Georgetown’s inclusion theater offers free, shortened productions of shows for people with special needs. Each stage production also features an American Sign Language night, as well as sensory-friendly shows. The theater also has an inductive hearing loop that can deliver audio directly into hearing aids with T-Coils.

If being immersed in history interests you, check out the Williamson Museum, which puts local history in the spotlight. If fine art is more your thing, don’t miss the Georgetown Art Center, where you can sign up for a workshop or a masterclass or simply admire the exhibits.

Go to the most beautiful town square in Texas

Georgetown is claiming its right to be called the most beautiful town square in Texas. Head down there and take the historic Georgetown walking tour to see if you agree!

Go hungry because you can stop for anything from Texas BBQ or Thai to mouth-watering Mexican or homemade pie at Lulu’s.

Since you can’t truly be a Texan without a 10-gallon hat, you’ll want to check out Nathaniel’s Custom Hats on the square. If that’s not really your style, you can pick up a fedora or just about anything else you want. All his hats are made by hand the old-fashioned way on vintage equipment.

Get outside and enjoy the fresh air

It’s going to be hard to know where to start since Georgetown has 40 beautiful parks! Check out this interactive parks and trails map to look for a good starting point. If you’re still not sure, head to San Gabriel Park and enjoy the views along the banks of the San Gabriel River, play some disc golf, have a picnic under the 200-year-old oak trees, or go fishing. You can also cast a line or go swimming at Blue Hole. The centerpiece of this park is a beautiful lagoon bordered by limestone bluffs.

If you’d like to hit the links, there are plenty of opportunities for that, too. Georgetown is home to six golf courses. You can also find another 11 within 20 miles of the city.

Activities galore

If you don’t mind the Texas heat in the summer, then the Sunset Movie Series at San Gabriel Park or the Live on the Lawn summer music series at Garey Park will be perfect for you. At the end of the summer, take your furry friend to the K-9 Kerplunk to enjoy a summer swim party for pups! It’s $5 per dog, but all humans are free.

Since Georgetown is the red poppy capital of Texas, the city throws a big 3-day festival every year in honor of its moniker. The Red Poppy Festival is known for lots of live music, more than 100 vendors, a car show, the red poppy parade, and lots more. There’s also the Blazin’ Beer Crawl, the Georgetown Art Strolls, and the popular Christmas Stroll.
