How families pay for senior living in Texas
Most families in Texas cover assisted living, memory care and independent living with private funds, often drawing on retirement income, savings and the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a family already holds a policy, can also help offset the monthly cost, though it's worth reviewing the policy details early since coverage and waiting periods vary. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can be applied toward the cost of care, and it's worth looking into eligibility well before a move is needed since the application process can take time.
