Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Cameron County, TX
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Texas?
Assisted living in Texas supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence.

Does Texas Medicaid cover memory care?
Texas Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Texas) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
