About Ella Springs Senior Living Community

Ella Springs Senior Living Community is a retirement home in Houston, TX.

Visitors rate it 4.5 out of 5 across 94 public reviews.

Why Ella Springs Senior Living Community has no federal star rating

Medicare's five-star rating system covers Medicare- and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facilities only. Ella Springs Senior Living Community is recorded as a retirement home, a category that is licensed and inspected at state level rather than rated federally, so no CMS overall star score is published for it. The absence of a star rating is not a quality signal in either direction.

For providers without a federal rating, the meaningful checks are the state licensing record, any substantiated complaint history held by the state survey agency, staffing and turnover as reported by the provider, and what families report directly. Clear Care Connect shows the state agency for TX on this page so you can look up the licensing file for Ella Springs Senior Living Community yourself.

What retirement home costs near Houston, TX

TX retirement home typically runs $3,500 to $5,800 per month, a midpoint of roughly $4,650 — about $55,800 a year. This is a state-level market estimate from published rate data for this care type, not a quote from Ella Springs Senior Living Community, and it is the single figure on this page that is modelled rather than reported.

Actual pricing at Ella Springs Senior Living Community depends on room type, whether the community charges a flat all-inclusive rate or a base rate plus tiered care levels, and one-time community or entrance fees. Medicare does not pay for room and board in this care category. Common funding routes are private pay, long-term care insurance, a state Medicaid waiver where one exists, and VA Aid and Attendance for eligible veterans and surviving spouses.

When you call Ella Springs Senior Living Community, ask for the total monthly figure at the care level being recommended — not the base rate — plus the schedule of annual increases over the last three years and what triggers a move to a higher care tier.

How to verify this information about Ella Springs Senior Living Community

Everything on this page comes from public records, and you can check each figure at its source. CMS publishes provider ratings, staffing and inspection data through its Provider Data Catalog and Medicare Care Compare for certified providers; the TX licensing and survey agency holds the state licence file, complaint investigations and any enforcement actions for Ella Springs Senior Living Community; and your local Area Agency on Aging can tell you about waiver programs and ombudsman support in Houston.

Long-term care ombudsman programs are free and independent, and an ombudsman who covers Houston will often know a facility's recent staffing and complaint history in more current detail than any published dataset. Clear Care Connect does not inspect, endorse or rank facilities for payment, and does not accept payment from providers to change what a page says.
