It has been a great place, and I've been here for years. The assisted living and independent living are all together. The people are very friendly here; it's like family. It's been a nice place to live. We have a beauty salon, a library, a television room to watch football games, and a multipurpose room where all the activities go on. There's a haunted house at Halloween and different seasonal activities. The lobby is not large, but we have different activities there. There's a popcorn machine, some puzzles people can do, and a large stairway that goes up to the second floor, which is very pretty. The fish tank is nice, and the people like that. Everyone is friendly and speaks to everyone. We have entertainment come in, someone sings or plays the piano, monthly birthday celebrations, and lots of arts and crafts activities.

The Cottages at Clear Lake were very nice and I really liked it. It's clean and well-maintained. I only met a few of their staff but they seem to be very nice. I saw some residents in one of the rooms playing bingo. That was that only activity going on at that time but from what I understand, they have lots of activities. They have an outside area, and there's a room in one of the buildings for families that wanted to come and have a gathering. It's also too expensive for me, it's more than I could afford.

The Cottages at Clear Lake was my choice. That's where my husband and I want my mother-in-law to go. It's wonderful; it's absolutely gorgeous inside. I was able to witness the preparation of the food. The staff members were just wonderful. For the residents, there were lots of activities to do. It is also color-coded. They can remember exactly which color their room is in, which is really neat. They have hydration program also. With every meal, the residents get three separate drinks. Each drink has the nutrients that their body needs, which I think is wonderful. They were all smiles. The place was great.

We did not have a good experience with The Cottages at Clear Lake. My father had three hospitalizations and six falls. He has a very critical disease, and they didn't give him his medicine on time. I like that he lost 19 pounds because he wasn't eating too much sweets there. They had some real nice people, but they didn't have the nursing care they needed. If you have people that are that ill, you need to have the right people available. They were lazy. The food was OK and activities were decent. He even escaped one time. They promised me he would not be able to get out, but he did.

It looked like a very good place for me. They had a lot of activities. It's a nice place to stay and it's in a nice area. The rooms looked spacious and nice, with big closets and restrooms. The staff seemed to be OK. The residents we saw hanging around the hallway and they seemed happy. They have a library, a salon, a chapel, an exercise room, game room, and a community area where they can watch TV together.

The staff is exceptionally rude. Abraham, the director, lacks severely in communication skills. His lack of concern for legitimate complaints and concerns affects patient care. I cannot stress how rude and dismissing the staff is when legitimate concerns are brought to their attention. From the Director all the way down to the receptionist. I found the caregivers to be extremely untrustworthy as well. The Crossings needs better management to address the concerns and behavior of the inept, distrustful, dismissive staff at The Crossings.

The Cottages at Clear Lake are wonderful. We liked the home-like atmosphere and the attention that the aides gave to all of the residents. We also liked the professional demeanor of the staff. It's awesome. The food looked and smelled good. It's nice the way the chef brings the food over to the dining room and the aides put it on the plates and serve it to the residents. It's homey, like a real house. My mother-in-law is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's, so she has to be taken care of completely. It's expensive, but it's worth every penny. They have pool noodles where you hit balloons, bingo, and a game where they remember certain events. They also have concerts and church services, sing hymns, and listen to music. The facility is perfect. The views aren't so great, but it's OK. It's so unique, and we really loved it when we first went in. We liked what we saw.

I'm very pleased with how they treat the residents at The Cottages at Clear Lake. They treat them with a lot of dignity. They're very on top of their needs, not just nutritional, but also medical. They get them up in the mornings and they put them in clothes. They're not coming to their breakfast meal in pajamas. They really feel very at home. Everybody is very neatly dressed. I'm very pleased and I'm there every other day and at all times of the day. I've been there when they serve them their meals. They have a chef that cooks for them, and it's very well done. My friend is sharing a room with another gentleman and they have two twin beds and there's a closet. The rooms aren't real big, but it's a dementia unit, so they don't need big rooms. The bathroom is very large, so it's very easy to get wheelchairs in and out of there. The place is very beautiful, very neat, clean, and smelled clean. The back patio is landscaped beautifully. Activities start at 9:30 in the morning and go until 3:30 in the afternoon. It's very well organized and planned out.

My mother-in-law has been living at The Cottages at Clear Lake. They're very good and the rooms are spacious. They have music, crafts, reminiscing activities, pet therapy, and church. It's a nice facility with a nice staff.

Medicaid is the nationwide health coverage program that pays for essential medical services for needy seniors, children and people with disabilities. It’s funded by the federal and state governments and administered by each state.
Every Medicaid plan must include mandatory benefits, such as physician services, X-rays and lab tests, hospital services and long-term care in a nursing facility. States may choose to fund additional benefits through Medicaid waivers and plans that may include rehabilitation therapy, case management, prescription medications, vision care and prosthetics.
In Texas, Medicaid plans are administered through a number of managed care organizations, and plan availability varies between counties. Medicaid members must be U.S. citizens or qualified immigrants, have a valid Social Security Number and live in Texas full time.
To qualify for long-term Medicaid coverage which includes home and community-based services, seniors must also need at least 30 days of non-stop care in a nursing facility and meet income and asset criteria.
Medicaid Income and Asset Limits
Each Medicaid applicant can earn up to $2,313 per month in income, and own up to $2,000 in assets ($3,000 per couple).
Income includes wages, investment dividends, alimony payments and money earned through most other sources, such as operating a small business. Some specific types of VA pension income is exempt, including VA Aid and Attendance and Housebound benefits.
Countable assets include all cash and bank account balances, stocks and real estate with the exception of a home that’s the principal residence of the applicant and/or their spouse valued at no more than $585,000.
If only one spouse in a married couple needs long-term Medicaid coverage, special income and asset rules apply to the non-applicant (community spouse). The income of the community spouse isn’t factored when calculating Medicaid eligibility, and the applicant may be able to reduce their declared income by transferring up to $3,160.50 per month to the community spouse under the minimum monthly needs allowance rule.
The community spouse may also keep up to $126,420 worth of the couple’s joint assets, in addition to the marital home and one vehicle, under the community spouse resource allowance rule.
STAR+PLUS Home and Community-Based Medicaid Waiver
STAR+PLUS is a Texas Medicaid managed care nursing-home diversion program for seniors who require the level of care normally provided in a nursing home setting. This home and community-based Medicaid waiver provides funding for community-based services and supports that are delivered in an assisted living environment and assigned based on the medical needs of each participant.
Every STAR+PLUS plan offers:
Veterans Aid and Attendance Benefits and Housebound Allowance
VA Aid and Attendance Benefits and Housebound Allowance are two regular VA pension top-up programs that provide eligible vets and survivors with extra cash benefits that can be used to finance assisted living.
Aid and Attendance pays a maximum annual pension of $22,577 to veterans without dependents and $26,766 for veterans with one dependent. The maximum annual pension for survivors who qualify for Aid and Attendance is $14,509 without dependents and $17,309 with one dependent.
For Aid and Attendance, applicants must meet at least one of the following criteria:
League City seniors aged 55 and older can participate in free yoga classes, Zumba gold workouts, line dance lessons and beginner watercolor painting groups through the League City Parks and Recreation Department. Seniors aged 60 and older can also enjoy a free hot lunch each weekday.
