“Arella Forest is the most wonderful place. I’m on my third lease and wouldn’t live anywhere else. Paige and Janelle, in the office, are amazing and always willing to help residents. There is something fun to do each day for the residents. The dining room is great. It’s an all around great place to live!”

How families pay for independent living in Texas
Most families in Texas cover assisted living, memory care and independent living with private funds, often drawing on retirement income, savings and the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a family already holds a policy, can also help offset the monthly cost, though it's worth reviewing the policy details early since coverage and waiting periods vary. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can be applied toward the cost of care, and it's worth looking into eligibility well before a move is needed since the application process can take time.
