Members Sought for the Long-Term Care Facilities Council

Last updated on

If you’re interested in issues related to consistent surveys and informal dispute resolution process for long-term care facilities, Medicaid quality-based payment systems for those facilities and the allocation of Medicaid beds in those facilities, you may want to apply to be a member of the Long-Term Care Facilities Council. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission executive commissioner will appoint members to the council to serve a term expiring August 31, 2029, unless otherwise noted.

Applications are due by 11:59 p.m., November 9, 2026.

HHSC will consider the applicants' qualifications, background and interest in serving on the council and will try to choose council members who represent the geographic diversity of all Texans.

A council member must regularly take part in council meetings. They may also have to take part in subcommittee meetings or other related activities. Council meetings are held about once every three months in Austin or at the call of the presiding officer. Long-Term Care Facilities Council members are not paid to attend or travel to and from council meetings or related activities.
