Does Medicaid cover senior apartments in Schertz?

Eligibility is income- and asset-based. Our advisors can walk you through what your parent qualifies for and which Schertz facilities accept the waiver.
How do I know if a senior apartments facility in Schertz is licensed?
Every legal senior apartments provider in Schertz is licensed by Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Long-Term Care Regulation. You can look up any facility's license, inspections, complaints, and regulatory actions directly through the Texas HHSC LTC Provider Search (apps.hhs.texas.gov). We only refer families to facilities with active, clean licenses.
What's the difference between senior apartments and a nursing home?
Senior Apartments is for older adults who need help with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication reminders) but don't require 24/7 skilled medical care. Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities, or SNFs) provide ongoing medical care from licensed nurses for residents with serious medical conditions or post-hospital recovery needs. Many Schertz families start with senior apartments and transition to skilled nursing if care needs increase.
How fast can I move my parent into senior apartments in Schertz?
Most Schertz facilities can accept a new resident within 3–10 days, assuming the health assessment, financial paperwork, and physician's order are complete. Memory care can sometimes be same-day or next-day if a secured unit has availability. Call us at (830) 355-0287 for current openings in your preferred neighborhood.
