The 5 Best Nursing Homes in Edinburg, TX for 2024

While only 9% of Edinburg’s 104,000 residents are seniors aged 65 and up, older adults can find plenty of senior-friendly amenities in this city. First, seniors may appreciate that Edinburg’s health care costs fall 15% below the national average, which can go a long way toward balancing budgets. Further, the city is served by two major hospitals. South Texas Health System Edinburg offers a stroke center, chest pain center and level IV trauma center, and DHR Health focuses on gastroenterology, diabetes care, neurology and heart health.

Seniors who experience medical issues may struggle to care for themselves at home. In that case, nursing home care may be a good option. Edinburg’s semi private rooms in nursing homes charge an average of $6,129 per month, a figure well below the national average of $7,908, for 24/7 support and medical care. Nursing homes offer assistance with chronic conditions, medication management, mobility and personal care. Seniors who don’t require such a comprehensive package may turn to home care or assisted living to meet their needs.

Using this guide, seniors and their families can get a better idea of nursing home care in Edinburg and discover helpful resources and ways to pay for care.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Edinburg, 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, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those who need long-term care will have to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
  • Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the cost of living expenses in a skilled nursing facility for qualifying seniors. Care and room and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras such as specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility requirements are strict and complex, so not all seniors qualify 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 local financial assistance programs for seniors.
