I visited this facility

We visited here. Everything was closed. They had the COVID lockdown, so everybody was quarantined in their rooms. The dining area wasn't open. The apartment was typical, and it was small. They only showed us one, which was a studio. Their two-room apartments were just two studios with a walkthrough, but it wasn't a true two-bedroom place. The place was clean. It was like a typical nursing home. The doors were locked, and you couldn't get out without buzzing. It was more of a nursing-home feel than an assisted-living feel. You couldn't get in or out of the place without somebody letting you in.

We liked The Plaza at Lubbock. It was really nice. The people giving the tour and the nursing staff in general seemed to really know the people that were there and stopped and talked to them. They were really good with them. It's very roomy. It's got a coffee shop out front and different places throughout where they could all gather. Everybody looked clean and happy. It was really nice. My mom has stayed there too for respite twice, five days each time. They're pretty large rooms, so they're not stuck in there. It's like a private room even when there were two people in there. It's really good sized. She didn't participate in activities, but there were options. They went out and ate dinner with other people and she participated more than she would. The facility was great. They had different places with things going on for different groups depending on what was appropriate for each group.

I saw Isle at Raider Ranch's assisted living and memory care. The tour guide was great and very informative. It was a great place. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They have a little bit of everything. They have outings and games. They need a little bit of updating. It felt like a home though.

Isle at Raider Ranch is excellent. Everything is good, and that's the reason why we decided to put a deposit down on them for my mother. The staff did a great job. He showed me around the whole place and answered any questions that I had. There was one lady resident that was doing a jigsaw puzzle, there were a couple of people doing physical activities, and there was a group that was sitting and visiting with each other.

Brookdale Grand Court Lubbock seemed very nice to me. The people seemed like they really cared about my friend. They helped her get moved in and settled. The rooms were nice, pretty, attractive, and clean. The residents can go to the dining room and order food off of a menu. They have three things on the menu for each meal, and you can pick one of the three. The staff member who showed us around was really helpful and offered us a lot of assistance. The only thing we're kind of frustrated with is they kind of went back on their word about my friend moving in. We were told that she could move in fairly quickly, but two months later she still wasn't able to move in. We were told one thing and then told something different when it came time to move.

I have friends that live in Isle at Raider Ranch. Their rooms are small, but nice. It's usually one large room with a bath, or two rooms. It's one of the better senior living communities in Lubbock. The main problem is that the staff is not that great. They have games, and tons of boxes of puzzles scattered all over the place. You can take the bus if you can get a group together to go do different things. Basically, this place is assisted living. I had some friends there with Alzheimer's, and they've actually gotten locked out of the Alzheimer's center. So the staff was not good. They don't keep up with their people very well. The amenities are very nice, and it's impressive when you walk in. It’s beautifully furnished and beautifully designed.

My dad is at Raider Ranch. He enjoys living there. They work with you if there are problems and the food is very good. We are pleased. The staff is very helpful. My dad needs help with showering and dressing, so they do all that. They have a lot of activities and they have an activities director. They take the residents places, they play Bingo, and there are people who come in to do services and entertainment. It's pretty pricey though.

I am/was a resident of this facility

We moved into Raider Ranch 2 weeks ago. It's very nice and it's in a property that is fairly big, but not really huge to be too impersonal. They have an indoor and outdoor pool, hot tub, gym, library, and pool room. I'm not yet participating in any activities, though. The cleaning crew was very efficient and I'm happy with them.

I visited this facility

We didn't like Brookdale at all, it's old, we're a lot younger than the people there, and I think we would feel uncomfortable there. I didn't like their food at all, some of it were so salty, you couldn't eat it. They had very little activities, they had one little room that was their whole activity department, and it was nothing but a small room with card tables.

Care Cost Comparison

Nursing homes are usually the most expensive senior care service due to the level of medical care they provide, and that’s true in Lubbock where a semiprivate nursing home room is $4,958 per month. This price includes meals, accommodations and around-the-clock skilled nursing care for fragile seniors and adults with disabilities.  Seniors who want to hire in-home help can expect to pay $3,600 per month for either a homemaker or home health aide, and $704 for adult day health services outside the home on weekdays. Assisted living costs are lower at $3,200 per month, and this price includes room and board.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Lubbock

Medicaid in Texas

Low-income seniors, children and people with disabilities may qualify for basic health care coverage through Medicaid, the nationwide government health plan. Medicaid is administered by each state, and mandatory benefits include hospital services, doctor’s visits, X-rays, transportation to care, home health services and nursing facility care. 

States may also opt to fund optional benefits that may include vision and dental care, case management, physical therapy, hospice care and community-based services. In Texas, the Medicaid program is delivered through managed care organizations. By law, every county must offer at least two Medicaid providers, and enrollees can usually pick their own plan. 

Qualifying for Medicaid 

In Texas, seniors aged 65 and older who collect Supplemental Security Income benefits automatically qualify for basic Medicaid benefits. 

To qualify for Medicaid-funded long-term care services, seniors must: 
 

  • Have a monthly income of $2,313 or less or $4,626 or less per couple when both spouses require care, and
  • Have countable assets valued at $2,000 or less or $3,000 in joint assets when a spouse is also seeking Medicaid, and
  • Be a U.S. citizen with a valid Social Security number, or 
  • Have qualified immigration status, and
  • Be a permanent Texas resident, and
  • Need 30 or more days of continuous care at the level normally provided in a nursing facility

 


Most, but not all, assets are counted by Medicaid. One vehicle, a life insurance policy worth $1,500 or less and a residence owned and occupied by the applicant and/or their spouse is exempt as long as that residence has an assessed value of $585,000 or less. 

STAR+PLUS Medicaid Nursing Home Diversion Program 

Seniors aged 65 and older with Medicaid coverage who need the level of care normally provided in a nursing home may qualify for STAR+PLUS, a Texas Medicaid managed care program.

STAR+PLUS funds community-based long-term care services to let frail seniors age in place in an assisted living facility rather than be placed in a nursing home. The goal of STAR+PLUS is to provide Medicaid participants with personalized services that allow them to maintain as much independence as possible without compromising on safety or wellness. 

By law, each STAR+PLUS managed care plan must include all mandatory Medicaid benefits, and also: 

 

 

 

  • Attendant and personal care
  • Adult day health programming
  • Disposable medical supplies and mobility equipment
  • Skilled nursing care
  • An emergency medical alert system
  • Home delivered meals
  • Transition services for seniors who want to leave a nursing facility to participate in STAR+PLUS
  • Physical and occupational therapy
  • Transportation

 


Individual STAR+PLUS plans may also offer value-added services, such as enhanced dental care, discounts on health and wellness programs and extra vision care. 

Seniors in Lubbock can receive STAR+PLUS services through Superior Health Plan or Amerigroup. If seniors don’t select a provider within 15 days of being accepted into STAR+PLUS, they’ll be automatically enrolled in one of these two plans. 

To learn more about Texas Medicaid and the STAR+PLUS program, contact the Health and Human Services Commission office at (888) 337-6377. 

 

 

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Program of All-Inclusive Care of the Elderly

Lubbock seniors aged 55 and older who qualify for placement in a nursing facility and would prefer to remain in a community-based setting, such as assisted living, may be candidates for the Program of All-Inclusive Care of the Elderly

PACE is a managed care program that provides seniors with the medical and nonmedical services they need to avoid institutionalization. PACE is free for seniors who have full-scope Medicaid coverage, and seniors can also participate on a private-pay basis. 

PACE services are delivered through a multidisciplinary team of health professionals that include primary care physicians, registered nurses, therapists, nutritionists, social workers and home health aides. Each PACE participant completes an in-depth assessment to identify their unique needs, and services are assigned with the goal of improving the overall health and wellness of each participant. 

Most services are performed at the PACE center, an adult day health center equipped with an outpatient medical clinic, therapy rooms, recreational spaces and a cafeteria. Participants are provided with door-to-door transportation to the PACE center and community-based services. 

For more information, contact Silver Star, the Lubbock PACE program, at (806) 740-1500. 

Elderlife Financial Assisted Living Bridge Loan

Seniors who need interim financing to cover moving costs may utilize Elderlife Financial’s assisted living bridge loan. Structured as an open line of credit with a term of 12 months, this bridge loan is designed for seniors waiting for benefit approval or the sale of their home. 

There are no application fees, and loan applications are processed over the phone in about 15 minutes. Because this loan is unsecured, applicants must have a high credit score. 

If approved, seniors can have money sent directly from the lender to their assisted living provider. Monthly payments are interest only, and the entire balance can be paid off at any time. 

For more information, contact Elderlife Financial Services at (888) 228-4500.
