Before you sign anything

Get the all-in monthly cost in writing at your parent's current assessed care level, ask what triggers the next care level and what it costs, and ask for the rate increase history across the last three years. Communities that will not put these in writing are telling you something.

Ask what happens if private funds run out, and whether the community holds a Medicaid waiver provider agreement. A meaningful share of communities do not, which means a second move at the worst possible time.

You can check any facility's record free. Call HHSC's Complaint and Incident Intake line at 1-800-458-9858 for any Texas facility's complaint and inspection history. Assisted living is not CMS star-rated -- only nursing homes are. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

What's the difference between inpatient admission and observation status for Medicare purposes?

Medicare's skilled nursing facility benefit requires a qualifying inpatient hospital admission. Time spent under 'observation status' does not count toward that requirement, even if your parent physically stayed overnight in a hospital bed for multiple nights.

Which hospitals in the Fort Worth area handle senior discharge planning?

Texas Health Resources (Texas Health Harris Methodist Fort Worth and Southwest Fort Worth), JPS Health Network's John Peter Smith Hospital, Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center - Fort Worth, and Medical City/HCA facilities serving Arlington all maintain case management and discharge planning teams.

Can I push back on a hospital discharge date in Fort Worth?

Yes. A discharge date is a clinical recommendation, not an immovable deadline, and hospitals are required to have a discharge planning process you can engage with -- especially when no safe post-discharge arrangement is actually in place yet.

Does Medicare cover a rehab stay after a Fort Worth hospital admission?

Medicare covers a limited skilled nursing facility stay after a qualifying inpatient hospital admission, when daily skilled care is medically necessary. It does not cover long-term custodial nursing care, and observation-status stays don't qualify at all.
