Questions families ask

What's the real difference between a nursing home and assisted living in Texas?

Nursing homes are licensed under a separate Texas rule chapter from assisted living and provide 24-hour licensed nursing care for higher medical acuity. Nursing homes also carry federal CMS star ratings through Medicare's Care Compare tool; assisted living facilities are not rated by that system at all.

Should a Fort Worth family consider a CCRC instead of standalone assisted living?

A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) keeps a couple together across changing care levels on one campus, typically through an entry-fee structure. Standalone assisted living is usually simpler to enter and less expensive upfront, without a large entry fee.

What does HHSC license, and what law covers assisted living in Texas?

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Long Term Care Regulatory division licenses assisted living facilities under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 247 and 26 Texas Administrative Code Part 1, Chapter 553. HHSC issues either a Type A or Type B license depending on residents' ability to evacuate in an emergency.
