The "5-year rule" refers to Medicaid's 60-month look-back period: if you apply for Medicaid nursing home coverage, Texas will review asset transfers you made during the five years before your application. Gifts or transfers made below fair market value can trigger a penalty period where Medicaid won't pay. Consulting an elder-law attorney in the DFW area before transferring any assets is strongly advisable.

Burnout is exhaustion tied specifically to your caregiving role, whereas clinical depression affects all aspects of your life with a persistent low mood and loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. If symptoms like hopelessness and emptiness last longer than two weeks, it is critical to consult a healthcare provider. This is a medical condition that requires a professional diagnosis and a specific treatment plan.

Medicare does not cover the long-term room and board costs of assisted living, which is considered non-medical custodial care. However, it may cover short-term skilled nursing or therapy services following a qualifying hospital stay. Texas families often use private funds, long-term care insurance, or programs like the STAR+PLUS Medicaid waiver to pay for care.
