In Fort Worth, the Texas Medicaid program is available to adults over 65 and those with disabilities. Benefits of Medicaid for long-term care include nursing home care, home care, community programs and doctor’s visits. Medicaid doesn’t directly cover assisted living costs, but the STAR+PLUS program below may help.
To qualify for long-term Medicaid services, single Texas residents must make less than $2,313 per month and have less than $2,000 in cash, savings, bonds or other countable assets. Eligible married couples should have a maximum combined income of $4,626 per month and no more than $3,000 in countable assets.
Texas residents who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are also eligible for Medicaid benefits, including doctor’s visits, hospital care, prescription medications and dental care. Additionally, residents who are working and have a disability, but do not live full time in a care facility, can make monthly payments through a buy-in option to receive benefits. Residents can apply for Medicaid benefits online or call 2-1-1 or 1-877-541-7905.
Texas’ STAR+PLUS Program
Texas residents 65 and older, who are approved for Medicaid, can benefit from the STAR+PLUSprogram, which provides managed care and service coordination through a medical plan of their choosing. Residents of Fort Worth and Tarrant County can choose between Amerigroup and HealthSpring medical plans, and they may reside in an assisted living home, nursing home or private residence. Eligible residents enrolled in Medicaid will receive a STAR+PLUS enrollment packet in the mail and should return the enrollment form indicating their selected health plan within 30 days of receipt.
Community First Choice (CFC)
The Texas CFC program provides financial assistance to residents who need an institutional level of care and are financially eligible for Medicaid. Services include personalized help with activities of daily living, support management and skill enhancement for independent living. For questions about enrollment, email: MCD_CFC@hhsc.state.tx.us.
Community Care for Aged/Disabled (CCAD)
Texas residents meeting specific eligibility requirements, who are not enrolled in Medicaid, can receive personal care assistance through the CCAD program. Participants must have limited financial resources and may not live in a nursing facility, but they can reside in an assisted living home or their own personal residence. This program is administered by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). To apply for these services, contact the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Tarrant County by email: tarrantcountyadrc@gmail.com or call: (855)-937-2372.
