Bedford is a medium-sized city in the heart of the DFW area that’s home to about 8,000 adults aged 65 and older, which is about 16.4% of the population. Due to the city’s centralized location, seniors here are close to some of the highest quality service and amenities in Texas and the country. This includes Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital and Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital.
In addition to quality hospitals, Bedford has numerous nursing facilities to meet the needs of seniors who require long or short-term, 24-hour medical care and supervision. These facilities are staffed by skilled nurses, therapists and other medical professionals. Seniors who don’t require this high level of care, but still need some help, will find that home care and assisted living are more affordable options. The median price for these facilities is $5,627 per month in Bedford. While this is lower than the national average, it’s higher than the state average and averages for many nearby cities.

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.
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.
Bedford seniors have access to several useful resources whether they live in a nursing home or are considering moving to a long-term care setting. Most of the services offered by these organizations are free, but some specific programs may have a low cost.
