Paying for care at Carrara: Medicare and Medicaid

Carrara is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet Texas's income and asset rules. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.

In 2026 Medicare covers days 1–20 in full after the Part A deductible ($1,736 per benefit period); for days 21–100 you pay $217 a day; after day 100 you pay all costs. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care. Medicare's coverage rules.

Questions to ask on a tour of Carrara

  1. Inspectors cited the home at the immediate-jeopardy level on April 5, 2024 under the rule on quality of life and care. What changed afterwards, and can I see the plan of correction?
  2. CMS rates staffing 2 out of 5. How many residents does each nurse aide care for on day, evening and night shifts?

  4. Do you have a Medicaid bed open now, and will you admit someone whose Medicaid application is still pending?
  5. When is the first care-plan meeting, and can family attend?

Questions come from this home's CMS data: its inspections, staffing and ownership record.
