What does Morada Lake Arlington's Type B license mean for residents?
Morada Lake Arlington is licensed Type B, so it may care for residents who need staff help to evacuate or who need attention during the night, and it must keep staff awake overnight.
Nearly all memory care around Fort Worth is in Type B buildings, because people with dementia usually need help in an emergency.
Alzheimer's certification: HHSC lists certificate #104835 for 30 beds of its 101 licensed beds. See how Texas regulates memory care.
Who is Morada Lake Arlington a good fit for?
Morada Lake Arlington fits families who want assisted living and memory care under one license: 71 of its 101 beds are standard assisted living and 30 are in the Alzheimer's-certified unit, so a later move can be down the hall instead of to another community.
A community this size usually balances a real activity program with staff who know residents by name.

How much does Morada Lake Arlington cost?
HHSC does not collect prices and we do not post rates for individual communities, so ask Morada Lake Arlington for its current rate sheet and care-level fees in writing. For context, memory care has no reliable published median (CareScout does not survey memory care as its own category, so there is no reliable published median; expect the all-in monthly figure to sit above the $5,250 Texas assisted living median).
Paying for it: Texas Medicaid's STAR+PLUS Home and Community Based Services program can cover care services, but not room and board, in a participating assisted living facility. Participation runs through the managed care plans rather than the HHSC license, so ask Morada Lake Arlington directly whether it takes STAR+PLUS and has an opening. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance. See how the Medicaid waiver works.
How should we evaluate Morada Lake Arlington?
Begin with what HHSC has on file, then see whether the building matches it. Go through the findings and any penalty above, ask Morada Lake Arlington for its plan of correction, then visit at a mealtime and again without calling ahead, and ask how the secured unit would respond if your parent's needs changed.
