Mustang Creek Estates of Allen is a residential assisted living and memory care neighborhood in Allen, Texas. It was the first Mustang Creek Estates neighborhood to open, in May 2005, and it sits on a quiet residential cul-de-sac surrounded by mature trees, across from Mustang Creek itself. Instead of one large building, the campus is made of six residential-style homes: five assisted living homes and one dedicated memory care home. Each house is small, holding about 10 to 13 residents, so care feels closer to a home than to a facility.
There are three kinds of homes, matched to how much help a resident needs. Assisted Living homes (Type A) give customized services that support independent living, with special assistance for bathing and showering, dressing and grooming, and medications. Assisted Living Plus homes (Type B) add supportive and extended care, including transfer assistance, 24-hour incontinence care, and routine nighttime care. The Memory Care home is secured, with a secured backyard, and offers specialized care and stimulating activities meant to promote independence, including validation and redirection support.
Daily life runs on an all-inclusive model. The site lists three home-cooked meals a day plus snacks, with menus created by a registered dietitian, daily cleaning, laundry and linen service, social activities, outings and exercise, emergency call systems, and staff on hand 24 hours a day. Phone with long distance, cable, and internet are included, and the community is pet friendly.
In the memory care home, specially trained caregivers are available around the clock, and a certified dementia practitioner is part of the care approach. Safety features include monitored doors, secure outdoor space, motion sensors in bedrooms for overnight care, a fire safety system, and an electronic medication system. Activities are built for residents with dementia, including reminiscing, sensory activities, entertainment and outings, and pet visits, and meals keep flexible times with encouragement and physical help when needed.
Mustang Creek publishes its Allen rates on its own site and describes them as all-inclusive, with no charge for levels of care. Families can see the current monthly rate for each room type, from standard and deluxe assisted living rooms to shared and private memory care rooms, along with a one-time community fee and a short list of fee-based extras such as beauty and barber services, transportation, and incontinent supplies.

How much does assisted living cost?
The national median cost of assisted living is $6,200 a month (CareScout Cost of Care Survey, 2025). Costs in Texas can be higher or lower. The price goes up when a person needs more help with daily tasks. See our guide to assisted living costs and who pays for the full picture.
Does Medicare pay for assisted living?
No. Medicare does not pay for the rent or the day-to-day help in assisted living. That help is called custodial care, and Medicare does not cover it. Medicare still pays for your medical care while you live there, like doctor visits, hospital care, and home health visits.
What is the difference between assisted living and a nursing home?
Assisted living gives a room, meals, and help with daily tasks like bathing and dressing. Staff are on hand day and night, but it does not give round-the-clock nursing care. A nursing home gives skilled nursing care and rehab around the clock. People who need help but not daily medical care often pick assisted living. People who need daily medical care often need a nursing home.
Who else pays for assisted living besides Medicare?
Most people pay out of pocket. Medicaid pays for care services in assisted living in many states through waiver programs, but it does not pay the rent. A VA pension called Aid and Attendance can add money each month for veterans who need help with daily tasks. Long-term care insurance can pay for part of the cost.
