They do a good sell job but they can’t deliver. Staff is unhappy, food is bad, it’s filthy. We moved our loved one in less than 2 months after placement. Beware.

My mother is staying at Mustang Creek Estates. It's worked out really well and they update me weekly. The food is good, her apartment is also good. They have different activities and they also play games. They do various things and physical activities. There's a little courtyard place for them to sit.

My mother has been at Mustang Creek Estates for 4 years. When she first moved here she was too slim and eating poorly. She was wasting away a a rapid rate. I was afraid she wouldn’t live another month. Since being at Mustang Crrek Estates in Allen, she has gained weight, eats regularly and the kind quality care she receives on a daily basis has extended her life. I sooo appreciate the facility’s attention and efficiency administered with empathy and sincere understanding. I can’t imagine a better place for a loved one. Thank you Mustang Creek!!!

I Am A Friend Or Relative Of A Current/Past ResidentReview of Mustang Creek Estates - Allen

Lack of compassion by aids. Have witnessed aids sitting around just talking while residents call out for help. I myself go to their aid then make aid attend to residents. They do not seem to care nor put much effort in caregiving which is unacceptable. W/D room dirty and unorganized. I cleaned washer mysel because there was an enormous caked up dirty build up powdered soap, disgusting! Had reported it to aids several times and Assistant Director but was ignored over 4 months. Resident dropped fork on floor and picked up to give to resident but I immediately said do not give him that fork, get him a clean one. High turnover in employees which I was told was not. Resident was falling while aid stood watching so I glad I was able to take hold of him and demanded a chair be put underneath him. Residents complain over an over again how aids do not care of their needs or concerns. Some are confused so I interact a lot to console them. Overall caregiving is far below average. Have gabled my mother many times without gloves. No sanitizer at entry of room so aids are going from one room to another entering room without sanitizing hands. Room cleaning 1 per week is not satisfactory. Have never cleaned mini blind or AC unit. Toilet area always has urine or a bit of poo on it. Vanity rarely cleaned because they have to pick up items to do so. I go twice a week to visit so I clean thoroughly, clean entire toilet since all they do is swish inside of bowel, then mop floor with cleaner. Laundry done unsatisfactory, put away very sloppy. Her room smells great but in some others the Oder is horrible. One resident sleeps in same cloths and she smells good fburine. Communiry shower has one small tub of 4 sqeegy body washer. These are used on 14 residents. Mom had 8 washcloths now none. Towels missing and now has someone else's!ragged ones. Do not handle mom correctly, always brushing her forearms. Do not put fresh bed pad on daily. Her stocked items has several bags open, empty bags left in closet floor. I could write a novel of complaint but it won't do a bit of good. Mom never complains and doesn't wear her call button around neck which I fuss about but they don't enforce. She and other residents say pages just ignore which is true. They do not put safety belt in her waist walking her to meals. She is very infirm now has to have escort to and from meals per physical therapist. Have found a great facility and movin mom out. I pray for all the seeet ines we will leave behind.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Allen

Medicaid in Texas

Medicaid is the jointly funded state and federal program that provides low-income individuals with access to essential health services, such as hospitalization, X-rays and long-term care. Medicaid is a nationwide entitlement program, therefore, enrollment is guaranteed for everyone who meets the eligibility criteria.

In Texas, Medicaid is administered through Health and Human Services and most programs are delivered through managed care organizations. To qualify for long-term coverage that includes access to home and community based services, seniors must:

Be aged 65 or older
Be permanent residents of Texas
Be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident or legal alien
Need continuous long-term care for 30 days or more
Earn under $2,313 per month in income from all sources
Have less than $2,000 in cash, investments and nonresidential real estate ($3,000 when applying with a spouse)

Applicants are allowed to keep a home in which they and/or their spouse live, as long as that home is worth no more than $585,000.

Community Spouse Income and Asset Limits

Special income and asset rules apply when only one spouse in a married couple needs long-term Medicaid.

The non-applicant, called the community spouse, can receive up to $3,160.50 per month in income that’s transferred from the applicant spouse to ensure the community spouse has enough money to live on.

The community spouse is also entitled to up to 50% of the couple’s joint assets, worth up to $126,420 under the community spouse resource allowance.

Note: Texas is a Medicaid income cap state. This means that seniors with income that exceeds Medicaid eligibility limits cannot spend-down their excess income on medical expenses in order to qualify for Medicaid coverage.

STAR+PLUS Managed Care Program

Seniors aged 65 or older who have Medicaid coverage and need the type of care normally provided in a nursing facility may qualify for home and community based services through STAR+PLUS, a Texas Medicaid managed care program.

STAR+PLUS lets medically fragile seniors remain in a community setting, such as assisted living, by funding additional services and supports that would normally be provided in a nursing home.

Services available through STAR+PLUS include:

Assisted living
Cognitive therapy
Dental care
Emergency response service
Home delivered meals
Skilled and intermittent nursing services
Medical supplies and adaptive aids
Minor home modifications to improve safety and accessibility
Personal care services to assist with bathing, dressing and eating
In-home respite care
Rehabilitation services, such as physiotherapy
Transition assistance for seniors currently living in a nursing facility
Financial management services

Allen is located within the STAR+PLUS Dallas Managed Care Service Area where the managed care organizations are Molina and Superior.

For more information on Texas Medicaid and the STAR+PLUS program, contact the local Texas Health and Human Services benefits office at (214) 750-4619.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Elderlife Financial Reverse Mortgage

Elderlife Financial is a licensed financial services provider that helps seniors access funds to pay for assisted living. Elderlife offers a reverse mortgage — a financial product that allows elderly homeowners to leverage the equity within their home.

To qualify for a reverse mortgage, the applicants must be aged 62 or older, and at least one homeowner must plan on remaining in the house. This can make a reverse mortgage a financial option for couples when only one spouse needs to move into assisted living.

In accordance with federal rules, all reverse mortgage applicants must complete HUD-endorsed financial counselling.

To learn more, call Elderlife Financial at (888) 228-4500.

VA Aid and Attendance and Housebound

VA Aid and Attendance Benefits and VA Housebound Allowance are two VA cash benefit programs for veterans and survivors who qualify for a regular VA pension and are either permanently disabled (doesn’t have to be service related) or have a chronic condition that restricts their ability to care for themselves.

For the Housebound Allowance, veterans and survivors must have a permanent disability that prevents them from leaving their home most of the time.

For the Aid and Attendance Benefit, veterans and survivors must have either a severe visual impairment, be bedridden most of the time, live in a nursing facility or need help from a caregiver to perform activities of daily living.

Note: Successful applicants can receive benefits from only one of these two programs.

For more information, contact the Veterans Service Officer at Collin County Veterans Services at (972) 881-3060.
