The 5 Best Nursing Homes in Paris, TX for 2024

Located in Northeast Texas, the small but charming city of Paris is home to 4,906 seniors aged 65 or older. While Paris is known chiefly for its historic downtown district and a miniature replica of the Eiffel Tower, it’s also home to excellent nursing homes and health care services, including the Paris Regional Health Hospital, where seniors may access emergency care, medical treatments and surgeries without extensive travel.

Nursing homes are facilities that provide 24-hour nursing care, disease management and specialized treatments such as wound care and oxygen therapy. They’re generally better for frail seniors with complex health conditions and medical needs that assisted living caregivers aren’t qualified to manage. At a typical cost of $5,171 per month, nursing care is relatively affordable in Paris compared to the U.S. average. However, it’s still slightly more expensive than assisted living or home health care, which may be better options for seniors who don’t require 24-7 nurse attention.

This guide helps families learn more about aged care options in Paris and compares the cost of nursing in the city with nearby locations. It also includes resources seniors can access for more information.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Paris, 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.
