How much does Sunrise of Cinco Ranch cost?
HHSC does not publish rates, and we do not list prices for individual facilities, so ask Sunrise of Cinco Ranch for its current written rate sheet and care-level fees. For context, memory care in Greater Houston typically runs $4,500 to $7,800 per month in 2026.
Paying for it: Texas Medicaid's STAR+PLUS Home and Community Based Services waiver can pay for care services in a participating assisted living facility, but not room and board. TULIP lists Sunrise of Cinco Ranch as not accepting Medicaid; STAR+PLUS participation is contracted through the Medicaid managed care plans, so confirm it with the community directly. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance. See our Katy memory care cost guide.
