Care options in Arlington

Questions families ask

How do families in Fort Worth actually pay when private funds run out?

Options generally include transitioning to the STAR+PLUS HCBS waiver if the community holds a provider agreement, moving to Medicaid-covered nursing facility care, or relocating to a different community that accepts STAR+PLUS HCBS -- ask about this before moving in, not after funds run low.

What does the Long-Term Care Ombudsman do in Tarrant County?

The Area Agency on Aging of Tarrant County's Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, a United Way of Tarrant County program, investigates and helps resolve complaints on behalf of nursing home and assisted living residents and advocates for their rights. It's free, independent of any facility, and acts only with the resident's consent.

Is the Area Agency on Aging different in Tarrant County than the rest of the metro?

Yes. Tarrant County runs its own dedicated Area Agency on Aging through United Way of Tarrant County, separate from the 16-county North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) region that covers Parker, Johnson, Denton, Wise and the rest of the outlying metro.
