My mother moved into Lake Arlington. They're just bought out now by Morada, and they are amazing. The staff is also amazing. When we first moved her in, we said, "Hey, this closet is broken." In 2 minutes, they were there to fix it. They're friendly and accommodating. The people there are just amazing, and her neighbors are awesome. They have a lot of stuff, but because of COVID, they aren't really doing much right now. They have a theater, an activities room, a laundromat, and all that is included, you don't pay extra for any of that. Her apartment is clean and beautiful. It's just wonderful. If I could live there, I would.

I am/was a resident of this facility

I'm at Town Village Crossing. I'm in the independent living, but they are moving assisted living people in here now. I was in before COVID, so I know what it was like, and I was thoroughly enjoying it. It felt like it's very well run, they were responsive, and they kept so many activities going, but then COVID came and everybody had to deal with it. In the first four months, we totally shut down. We had our meals served in our home, we didn't have any activities going on, and no family were allowed in. They were letting chronic caregivers come in, and some of those are family of course, but we are still being fed well, and there are people caring for us. I had a fall, and I wound up having surgery. I was in my room and they were checking on me, and that's not even a part of their plan. We don't have a nurse on staff or anything, but I love this place, and I still love it. The facility is beautiful, and it's a wonderful place to live.

Fox Run Estates facility looked really great. I saw several different rooms. They didn't really have kitchens; they just had microwaves and small refrigerators. They had beautiful balconies outside the rooms, but that made the rooms smaller. It's a lovely place, and it looks to be well run. There are lots of outside walking areas, and they have a lot of activities that are of interest to me. However, I was looking at as much square footage as I could get, but part of their square footage was the balcony, which I know I wouldn't use. Also, they didn't have a big enough kitchen for me.

I have a relative at Fox Run Estates. I went there last Thursday, and I'm on my way there now. They've been great. The staff members know their residents, and they're very attentive and friendly. The food is OK; it's not bad. The place is nice, well kept, and clean, and the layout is fine. I think they have a real pretty grounds area outside. They have a bunch of spots where their residents can be outside.

We have found a facility for my mom and it's Fox Run Estates. She wanted a specific room there downstairs because they have a little balcony where she could go outside. She has a little doggie that she wants to take with her. We are not moving in right now. We don't have any word that there's anything available at this moment. They said they don't have a waiting list, but we would be the first one they would call if something should come available. We like the walking trail and we like that all the independent living rooms have a balcony upstairs or downstairs. We also like all the activities that are going on, the three meals a day, the housekeeping, and the laundry. My mom will get one of those Life Alerts as well when she moves in. It's all in the price. It's great. Everyone we met, including the residents there, has been awesome. They are so kind, caring, and into elderly people. We also got good feedback from the people who live there. As we understand, they only allow so many people in their small dining room with social distancing and the rest eat in their rooms, which is very good. Everything is safe there. When we got there, we got our temperature taken. They asked us all kinds of questions before they even showed us around, and I thought that was really good, too. The facility is so pretty. When you walk in there, you'll think you're walking into a mansion with round stairs coming down. Of course, we didn't use it, we used an elevator because of Mom, but I loved it. It looks like a mansion. I would like for Mom to go in right away, but she has some medical issues. One day she is good, and one day she's not good. We have been on a lockout for independent living and then we found Fox Run Estates, and it's awesome, but she's a handful, and she's been fighting us about that.

My friend is at Fox Run Estates, and it's just a wonderful place for him. He's enjoying all the activities. It's very friendly, inclusive, and full of activities. He's busy every day. He's enjoying the people and the place. He loves the food. The staff is very responsive and pleasant. It's working out very well for us.

Fox Run Estates is nice and clean, they attend to their people, and they look out for each other. The only complaint I have is they do not have any food for diabetics, so I may have to move my sister because of that. Other than that, it's a great place. They said they have some diabetic no sugar desserts, but it was my fault for not checking it out thoroughly. They eat so much bread, and it runs her sugar up too high. Still, they're very pleasant people to work with. I love the staff members.

I visited this facility

We toured Fox Run Estates for my mother-in-law, she really liked it, and it's very personal, smaller, and intimate. The staff member did a great job and knew the residents. I was impressed with how well they knew the residents, their personal relationship with the residents, and involvement with the community. We saw the dining area, which is central to the community. You walked across to get to one of the wings. It's open, but we did not try the meal. They had a beauty shop, an area for TV watching, a library, and open concept. They only had a bike and treadmill, and it was out on the balcony, overlooking the dining room.

I really liked Fox Run Estates and I had an excellent tour. They had very nice single bedroom apartments and they have individual heating units. The staff was very good. The meal I had was very enjoyable and well portioned.

Care Cost Comparison

A semiprivate room in a nursing home has the highest average monthly cost at $5,064, and only adult day health is significantly lower in cost than the other services, at $1,408 per month.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Arlington

Medicaid in Texas

Seniors receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or who are in need of long-term care may qualify to receive medical benefits through Texas Medicaid or Medicaid buy-in programs. Benefits include coverage for doctor’s visits, hospital care, prescription drugs, lab work and X-rays, as well as vision, hearing and dental care. Most Texas Medicaid services are delivered through managed care organizations.

Individuals receiving SSI are eligible for the state’s Medicaid program. Medicaid may even help qualified individuals pay for care received up to three months prior to the start of SSI. For more information, interested individuals can visit YourTexasBenefits.

Medicaid for long-term care is available to low-income Texas residents over the age of 65 who demonstrate the need for 30 or more days of nonstop, long-term care. In order to qualify, applicants must not own or be paying off items over a designated value. This does not include houses, vehicles, burial funds and some types of life insurance. To determine if your income and assets fall within the acceptable range, visit the state’s screening tool.

The state’s Medicaid buy-in program was designed to provide medical coverage for working individuals who have physical, mental, intellectual or developmental disabilities. Applicants must not live full time in a nursing facility, state hospital or a care home for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Qualified applicants can buy into Medicaid services for a monthly cost.

For further information, and to apply, potential applicants can visit YourTexasBenefits.com.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

The Texas Community Care for the Aged/Disabled (CCAD) program

Overseen by Texas Health and Human Services, the CCAD program allows low-income seniors at risk of nursing home placement to receive personal services at home or in an assisted living residence. It also covers services, such as personal emergency response systems, which reduce the need for constant individualized care. Other available services include consumer-managed personal attendant services, which allows an individual to choose their own caregiver, even paying family members to care for them. Residential care is offered to individuals already residing in assisted living facilities.

While benefits vary depending on an individual’s living arrangement, certain standard eligibility requirements apply. Applicants must be legal Texas residents with income not exceeding three times the Supplemental Security Income payment. Assets must not exceed $5,000 for individuals and $6,000 for couples, although this amount may vary depending on the benefit sought. Applicants should also not be eligible for identical services through Medicaid programs.

Seniors should contact their local Aging and Disability Resource Center for further information and to apply.

VA Aid and Attendance Program

Eligible veterans and surviving spouses in need of financial aid for assisted living can seek assistance through the VA Aid and Attendance Program. In order to qualify, applicants must be over 65 and require help with activities of daily living. Program funding is designed to offset the costs of assisted living.

Application to the program can be confusing since the eligibility requirements are complex and factor in unreimbursed medical expenses. Potential applicants should visit their local VA benefits office for further information or to apply.

Assisted Living Bridge Loans

Individuals or families in need of short-term funding for assisted living may want to consider a bridge loan, which can fund up to 12 months of payments. While interest can be high on bridge loans, this program may be ideal for seniors awaiting benefit approval or funds from a home sale. Bridge loans can also cover the initial expenses of assisted living, including move-in costs. 

Because a single loan can have multiple co-borrowers, the importance of individual creditworthiness diminishes, improving chances of approval. Since family members generally apply for bridge loans rather than the senior himself, the age and health of the service recipient don’t impact the odds of approval. Lenders generally require specifics about the anticipated source of permanent funding.

Bridge loans can be disbursed as a lump sum or as a line of credit. Once a loan application is submitted, the approval time is often very fast. For further information on assisted living bridge loans, contact Elderlife Financial Services.
