Frequently Asked Questions About Group Home Living in Texas
Who pays for group home living in Texas?
If the individual is enrolled in the Home and Community-based Services (HCS) Medicaid waiver, the state of Texas fully covers the cost of group home placement, including 24/7 staffing, nursing care, and transportation. The individual is only responsible for paying “room and board” (rent and groceries), which is typically covered by their monthly Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check.
What is the difference between a 3-bed and 4-bed HCS group home?
HCS regulations mandate that group homes for individuals with IDD can house a maximum of either 3 or 4 residents. This ensures a low staff-to-resident ratio (often 1-to-3 or 1-to-4), allowing for highly personalized, attentive care that larger institutional settings cannot provide. At ANN&AGNES, we focus on matching roommates based on age, interests, and care needs to foster a harmonious living environment.
Can families visit their loved ones in the group home?
Absolutely. We strongly encourage family involvement! This is your loved one’s home, and families are welcome to visit, share meals, and take their loved one on outings or overnight visits. We believe open communication and family partnerships are critical to providing the best possible care.
What kind of training does the group home staff have?
Our Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) undergo rigorous training that exceeds Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) requirements. This includes CPR/First Aid certification, medication administration training, behavior management techniques, and specialized training in recognizing and reporting abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
