Common questions about Army Residence Community
What care and services does Army Residence Community offer?
Army Residence Community offers residential care, assisted living, Assistance with activities of daily living, 24-hour supervision.
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.
