What to Consider About Assisted Living in Tomball

The 1790 streets in Tomball cover a total of 72 miles, which is the exact distance from this suburb of 11,353 people to and from Houston on a single round trip. This area has 64 assisted living communities, which are overseen at the state level by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services. The department works to ensure aging citizens enjoy as much independence and privacy in assisted living as their health allows. Staff at facilities in Tomball, and elsewhere in Texas, provide 24-hour emergency response, help to take some medications and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as dressing, meal prep and personal care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Tomball

  • Weather in Tomball varies between cool, dry winters when seniors with COPD or other respiratory issues may want to stay indoors, and warm, humid summers when temperatures average 93 degrees Fahrenheit. Tomball gets about 45 inches of rain in an average year.

  • Tomball's cost of living is not bad for seniors who pay their own expenses. Groceries here cost an average of 84 percent what they do nationwide, while the cost of health care services averages 97 percent the national median.

  • Texas residents pay no income tax on their earnings, and that includes seniors living on SSI, Social Security and other forms of retirement income. Sales tax of between 6.25 and 8.25 percent does apply to most purchases, however, and there's a 20 cent gas tax on every gallon sold. 

  • Crime rates in Tomball are almost exactly in step with national averages. One exception is in violent crime, such as crimes against seniors, where Tomball is somewhat lower than average nationwide.

  • Harris County Transit operates the RIDES network in and around the Tomball area. This service is aimed at aging citizens who need scheduled transportation from their homes or assisted living communities for shopping, medical office visits and the occasional day trip. Riders can go as far as northwest Houston, where METROrail takes over with a modern system of trains.

  • The Tomball area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Tomball Regional Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Tomball

Low- and no-income seniors who qualify for Medicaid with no share of cost might be able to get help paying for assisted living through the state waiver program, which is called STAR+PLUS.
