New Braunfels sits between San Antonio and Austin, and its assisted living median of $5,939 a month runs about 5 percent above the Texas figure. Here is what that number includes, what the Texas license tells you, and where Medicaid fits.
The $5,939 median is a modeled figure from 2025 survey data, with a range of about $5,241 to $6,332, for a private room with a standard care package. Texas communities price a base rate plus care levels, and memory care in a secured unit typically adds 20 to 30 percent. With ten licensed communities in the city and more in Seguin, Schertz and San Marcos, families here usually tour across Comal and Guadalupe counties.
Texas Health and Human Services licenses assisted living as Type A or Type B. Type A residents must be able to evacuate on their own; Type B facilities may serve residents who need staff help to evacuate, including those with dementia. A facility that advertises memory care must also hold the state's Alzheimer's certification. For someone whose condition is progressing, a Type B license is the practical minimum.
Private pay is the norm. Long-term care insurance and VA Aid and Attendance cover part of the bill for those who have them. Medicaid is the piece that varies by state, and in every state it pays for care services, never the room and board portion of an assisted living bill.
STAR+PLUS, the Texas Medicaid managed care program, includes an assisted living benefit for members who meet the nursing-home level-of-care test and financial limits. It pays for care services in a participating facility; the resident pays room and board from income. There is an interest list, and the Alamo Area Agency on Aging in San Antonio serves Comal County for applications and caregiver programs.
