The Terraces rate shown is for a studio in independent living. The Tarina of Kingwood and Tarina of Cypresswood rates shown are for assisted living studios, not memory care. Your total depends on the residence, care needs and additional services. Ask each community for a personalized quote.

Comparing a month at home with a month in a community

A fair comparison adds up everything a month at home really costs: the mortgage or rent, property taxes, insurance, utilities, groceries, upkeep, transportation and any paid help. A community rate usually bundles most of those into one bill.

Independent living, like The Terraces, covers the residence, meals, housekeeping and upkeep, but not personal care. Assisted living adds help with daily routines such as bathing, dressing and medication. Memory care adds a secure setting and a team trained in dementia care.

What a monthly rate usually covers

• Your residence and most utilities
• Meals, usually three a day
• Housekeeping and maintenance
• Activities and scheduled transportation
• In assisted living and memory care, help with daily routines and staff on site 24 hours a day

Questions to ask about cost

• What exactly does the monthly rate include, and what costs extra?
• Is there a one-time community fee, and how much is it?
• How does the rate change if care needs change?
• Is there a second-person fee for couples?
• How often are rates reviewed?

Ways families pay

Medicare does not pay for room, board or personal care in assisted living or memory care. Most families use savings and income, the sale of a home, long-term care insurance or VA Aid and Attendance benefits. Texas Medicaid's STAR+PLUS program can help some low-income seniors with assisted living, but only at participating communities, so ask each community whether it takes part.
