What to ask on a tour in Fort Worth

Marketing directors are good at their jobs. These are the questions that actually surface differences between communities:

  1. Can I see your current license and most recent state inspection report?
  2. If you market memory care, can I see the required Alzheimer's/dementia disclosure statement? Texas requires every facility marketing memory care to file one with HHSC under 26 TAC ยง553.264.
  3. What is the all-in monthly cost at my parent's current care level? Ask for the care-level assessment tool in writing and where your parent would score today.
  4. How often have rates increased in the last three years, and by how much?
  5. What is the overnight staffing ratio? Not the daytime ratio — overnight is where families get surprised.
  6. What is caregiver turnover here?
  7. Do you hold a STAR+PLUS HCBS provider agreement, and how many current residents actually use it? A community can hold an agreement and still have no real waiver capacity available.
  8. What happens if my parent's needs exceed what this license allows?

Go back unannounced at a different time of day before you decide.

Questions families ask

What are Texas's nursing facility Medicaid income and asset limits in 2026?

For 2026, the special income limit for Texas nursing facility Medicaid is $2,901/month, with a $2,000 asset limit for a single applicant. Income above the limit generally requires a Miller Trust (Qualified Income Trust) to still qualify.

What is Medicaid Estate Recovery, and does it affect a Fort Worth family's home?

Texas's Medicaid Estate Recovery Program (MERP) can seek reimbursement from a deceased Medicaid recipient's probate estate for long-term-care costs paid by the state, including nursing facility care and some STAR+PLUS HCBS services -- but only after death, and with protections for a surviving spouse or dependent children.

What does assisted living cost in the Fort Worth area?

The 2024 CareScout Cost of Care Survey puts Texas's statewide median assisted living cost at $5,250 a month. No primary source publishes a Fort Worth- or Tarrant County-specific figure separate from that state median, so local pricing likely runs close to or somewhat above it given the metro's growth.
