The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Allen, TX for 2024

Allen, Texas, is a northern suburb of Dallas that has gradually been surrounded by the larger city’s urban sprawl. It is home to about 107,000 people, roughly 10% of whom are seniors aged 65 and over. Being this close to the Dallas-Ft. Worth corridor brings Allen’s seniors close to high-quality medical care at nearby hospitals and medical centers, such as Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Centennial and Medical City McKinney. Both facilities accept Medicare and offer senior health programs. According to the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey, nursing home care in Allen averages $5,627 a month for semiprivate rooms and $8,460 for private.

Skilled nursing care helps residents with 24-hour supervision and treatment services from a nursing staff. Typical features of nursing homes include medication management and aides who help residents follow their doctors’ treatment plans. This is one reason nursing home care tends to be more expensive than other types of senior living. People who need fewer services might be interested in either assisted living or home health care.

This guide lists costs for nursing home care in Allen, TX, as well as several free resources to help support local seniors.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Allen, TX

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.

  • Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
  • Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
  • Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.

If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
