Quick answer

There are 6 verified memory care options listed in Austin, Texas. Texas HHSC licenses and inspects these providers, and you can check any community's license status and deficiency history free through the state provider search.

Memory care is secured, dementia-specific assisted living. In Texas it is not a separate license — it is an Alzheimer's certification layered on a Type B license, and it carries physical plant requirements that are inspected on site.

Short answer

We list 6 verified memory care options in Austin, Texas. Assisted living and memory care in Texas are licensed by HHSC as Type A or Type B based on residents' evacuation ability, and memory care additionally requires an Alzheimer's certification.

What to watch for with memory care in Austin

Ask to see the Alzheimer's certification, not the license. Any community can market to dementia families; only a certified one has been inspected against the standard.
Ask specifically about wandering and exit-seeking. Secured courtyards, door alarms and staffing patterns vary far more than brochures suggest.
There is no published median price for memory care in Texas. Any figure you find online is an estimate, so get quotes in writing from each community.

The Austin market specifically

Austin proper has the widest range of care levels in the metro and the widest range of prices with it. Central and west-side communities price toward the top of the market; north and northeast Austin is generally more moderate. Traffic is the practical constraint families underestimate — a community fifteen minutes away at 10 a.m. can be forty at six in the evening, and evening is when most visits actually happen.

Because Austin proper holds most of the metro's licensed capacity, it is also where you will find the widest spread in quality within a single price band. Two communities charging similar rates a few miles apart can differ sharply on staffing and turnover, so comparison matters more here than anywhere else in the metro.

What the contract does that the tour does not

The residency agreement decides what happens when things change: how care levels are reassessed and repriced, how much notice is required on either side, what the deposit covers and whether it is refundable, and whether disputes go to arbitration.

Ask for a blank copy to take home before you are asked to sign anything. A community that will not provide one has told you something useful.

Questions Austin families ask

Does Texas have a state program that pays for assisted living?

Not broadly. Texas has no general state-funded assisted living benefit. Two narrow options exist: STAR+PLUS Medicaid waiver assisted living services covering care but not room and board, and the state-funded Residential Care program under Community Care for Aged and Disabled, funded by Title XX block grants with interest lists.

How do I get on the STAR+PLUS waiver list in Austin?

Call 2-1-1 or visit YourTexasBenefits.com to join the interest list, then apply for Medicaid. Next comes a medical necessity assessment, choosing a managed care organization, and building a service plan with a coordinator. The Capital Area ADRC at 855-937-2372 can help you navigate the process.

How much is VA Aid and Attendance in 2026?

For 2026, maximum annual pension rates are $29,093 for a veteran with no dependents, roughly $2,424 monthly, $34,488 with one dependent, and $18,697 for a surviving spouse, about $1,558 monthly. VA pays the difference between countable income and that maximum, not a flat check.

Can Aid and Attendance help pay for assisted living in Austin?

Yes, indirectly and often substantially. VA subtracts unreimbursed medical expenses, including assisted living and home care costs, from countable income. A veteran with significant care bills can therefore qualify despite moderate income. The 2026 net worth limit is $163,699, with a three-year look-back on asset transfers.
