I visited this facilityReview of Lakeview at Josey Ranch

Beautiful community. Toured about 10:30 and they had exercise classes going on. Seemed like the residents were having fun. I was invited to stay for lunch, which was amazing. Lisa asked me to come back for the Sunday brunch and will do that in the next couple of weeks. I'm just starting my search for "Senior Independent Living" but this community is definitely at the top of my list. Apartments were large and have balconies. Pricing was reasonable when you consider food and utilities are included.

I had to move my loved one from Sonoma House after the level of care declined significantly after January 1, 2023. Huge turnover in caregivers and an a uncaring management. There are better options in the same area.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Sonoma House Assisted Living

My wife was in Sonoma House memory care from June 2022 until mid-April 2023. I finally decided to move her to another facility as, in my opinion, the quality of her care declined significantly, especially after January 2023. Communications with the staff and office was difficult. The caregivers double as cleaning crew and cooks, reducing the amount of time spent caring for the residents. My advice is to look for other alternatives. Find a facility that has separate cleaning and cooking staff, so that the caregivers can better watch the residents instead of doing other duties. Ask about how your loved one's care is communicated on a regular basis. I eventually concluded that Sonoma House was the not the right place for my wife. I should have done more homework before choosing Sonoma House. I now have her in a facility where I get daily updates on her condition, the relationship with the caregiver staff is more direct, and I think she will do much better with the time she has left.

I am/was a resident of this facilityReview of Lakeview at Josey Ranch

I'm current living at Lakeview Josey Ranch. It's close to my son. It's a large, three-story place with maybe 250 people here. The people are really nice and concerned when somebody new moves in that they find everything. There's a committee of people who helps do that. Josey Lane is close to everything. Walgreen delivers to us, there's dry cleaning services, and the church and medical facilities are also close. It's a great location. They have bingo, Wii bowling, arts and crafts, a movie theater, and a lot of bridge. The food is sometimes not that exciting, but it's not bad. I eat it every day. I don't think any other place would necessarily have it any better. We have a concierge, and they work really hard to keep things going smooth. We have an activities director, several waiters and busboys in the dining room, and lots of cleaning staff, too.

I enjoyed my visit at Lakeview at Josey Ranch. The staff was very nice and the room was clean and perfect for me. It's just about what I need. I have tried the food there and it was very good.

I did not particularly care for Lakeview for my mother-in-law. It was older and needed some updating. The staff and the dining area were nice. They had a place for activities and a movie theater.

Lakeview at Josey Ranch was a nice facility. The staff was friendly, it was pleasant, and they had wide lighted hallways which was really nice. The apartments were beautiful. They also had an expansive outdoor space that was beautiful.

Care Cost Comparison

In Carrollton, semiprivate nursing home care is the most expensive type of senior care, costing an average of $5,064 per month. Services include around-the-clock nursing care in a state-licensed facility, meals and recreational programming. Assisted living costs $346 more per month than a homemaker service; however, like nursing home care, assisted living includes rent, utilities, home maintenance and meals. By comparison, seniors who choose to stay in their own homes must pay for the care they need in addition to ongoing daily living expenses, which can make in-home care much more costly than assisted living.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Carrollton

Medicaid in Texas

Established in1965 by the federal government, Medicaid provides limited health coverage to low-income people who have few assets. Medicaid is administered at the state level, and plans must include certain mandatory benefits such as inpatient and outpatient hospital care, nursing facility care and basic diagnostic tests. Optional services may be made available through state-specific waivers and programs.

The Department of Health and Human Services manages the Texas Medicaid program, and managed care organizations provide most Medicaid services. To be eligible for long-term coverage with access to home and community-based services for assisted living residents, seniors 65 and older can earn up to $2,313 per month ($4,626 per couple) and own up to $2,000 in assets ($3,000 per couple).

Some assets aren’t counted toward the Medicaid asset limit, including an owner-occupied home worth up to $585,000, prepaid burial contracts and personal effects.

Texas Medicaid applicants must also be permanent residents of the state, have either U.S. citizenship or qualifying immigration status and need 30 or more days of continuous care in a nursing facility as assessed by a physician.

Spousal Income and Asset Rules

If only one spouse in a married couple needs long-term Medicaid services, special income and asset rules are in place to prevent impoverishment of the non-applicant (community) spouse. The community spouse isn’t expected to pay for the care of the applicant spouse; therefore, the income of the community spouse isn’t considered when determining Medicaid eligibility.

Under the minimum monthly maintenance needs allowance clause, the non-applicant may collect up to $3,160.50 per month in income transferred from the applicant to cover living expenses such as rent and utilities. The non-applicant spouse can also keep the lesser of 50% of the couple’s joint assets or $126,420 under the community spouse resource allowance clause.

Income Cap and Qualified Income Trust

As a Medicaid income-cap state, Texas doesn’t have a Medicaid spend-down (also known as medically needy) program for seniors with incomes that exceed the $2,313 per month income cap.

Texas does permit the use of a Qualified Income Trust, also known as a Miller Trust, to reduce an applicant’s income to achieve Medicaid eligibility. A QIT is a non-revocable legal agreement that allows seniors to redirect their excess income into a trust that names the State as the beneficiary. Only income (not assets) can be diverted to the QIT, and money in the trust can be used for specific, preapproved medical expenses.

Upon death, the State receives any funds remaining in the QIT up to the amount paid for Medicaid services by the State on behalf of the trustee.

STAR+PLUS Medicaid Managed Care Program

Seniors with Medicaid coverage who require the level of long-term care normally offered in a nursing home may be eligible for STAR+PLUS, a Texas Medicaid managed care nursing-home diversion program.

STAR+PLUS funds home and community-based services for seniors 65 and older to delay or prevent institutionalization of medically fragile Medicaid participants. Services are assigned according to medical need as determined by a plan of care developed by participants, their family and designated health-care providers.

Services that may be delivered to STAR+PLUS participants who reside in an assisted living setting include skilled and intermittent nursing, medical supplies and adaptive aids, respite and personal care, and rehab therapy.

STAR+PLUS enrollment is also open to seniors currently residing in a nursing facility who want to move to an assisted living setting.

Carrollton residents who reside in Denton County receive STAR+PLUS services through either Amerigroup or Cigna-HealthSpring. The managed care providers in Dallas and Collin counties are Molina and Superior.

For more information on Medicaid, QITs and the STAR+PLUS program, contact the nearest Health and Human Services Commission office by calling (888) 337-6377.

VA Aid and Attendance Benefits and Housebound Allowance

The VA offers two pension top-up programs for veterans and survivors who are eligible for the regular VA pension and have a permanent disability or chronic illness not related to military service.

To qualify for VA Aid and Attendance Benefits, applicants must:

Have corrected vision tested at 5/200 or worse, or

Suffer from concentric contraction which limits the visual field to 5 degrees or less, or

Live in a nursing home due to loss of physical or cognitive functioning, or

Note: VA Aid and Attendance benefits and the Housebound allowance aren’t included as income when determining Medicaid eligibility.

For assistance with the application process, contact the local County Veterans Services Office.

Assisted Living Bridge Loan

Seniors who have a high credit score and need money to finance a move into an assisted living community may be eligible for an assisted living bridge loan through Elderlife Financial. This type of loan gives seniors access to the cash they need while waiting for their home to sell or for benefits to begin so they can pay their assisted living costs.

Available in terms of up to 12 months with interest-only monthly payments, loan approval is based on the credit score of the applicant. Up to six people can be listed on the loan application, and the balance can be paid off at any time without penalty.
