Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Texas
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Texas?
Assisted living in Texas is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities.

Does Texas Medicaid cover nursing home care?
Yes — Texas Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
