Famous for long hot summers, ranching and diverse attractions, Texas is a popular destination for retirees. With around 12.9% of the 29 million-plus population over the age of 65, Texas is home to more than 3.5 million seniors. The number of seniors is continually increasing, with estimates that will exceed a 20% increase by 2030. Texas boasts several high-performing hospitals for geriatric care, including UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and Houston Methodist Hospital.
In our 2022 Senior Living Report, Texas ranks 45th in the country. The overall score is likely negatively impacted by relatively low scores in the health care and community involvement categories. However, transportation is good and there’s no state income tax, which may help seniors stretch retirement funds further. On average, assisted living care costs $3,998 per month. At more than $500 per month lower than the national average, Texas is an appealing retirement destination for low-income seniors.
This guide on assisted living in Texas includes costs of residential care and various funding options that may help seniors cover their care costs. The guide provides information about regulations for assisted living communities as well as details about local agencies that offer information, advice, advocacy and support for older citizens.
When trying to decide how to pay for assisted living, one of the first questions that comes up is "How much does it cost?" With the impact of inflation, it's more important than ever to have up-to-date information when making a financial plan for senior living. To help shed light on real senior living prices, Caring.com has compiled proprietary cost data from its network of over 75,000 senior living providers to offer insight into the average cost of assisted living in Texas and its 135 cities.
Care costs can vary greatly across Texas. While Austin's average of $3,218 is similar to the state median ($3,312) and costs in Dallas are only slightly higher ($3,389), many cities can be more expensive. In Houston, for example, assisted living costs $3,877 per month, which is $565 more than the state average. Alternatively, there are less expensive options, such as San Antonio, where average rates are $3,066.

In Texas, inflation has affected many aspects of life, including the cost of senior care. Between 2022 and 2023, assisted living costs rose by over 5.6%, jumping from $3,134 to $3,312. However, Texans are fortunate as this is less than the 9.3% increase seen on a national level. Inflation has impacted states differently. In Oklahoma, assisted living costs have risen by 19.4%, while rates in New Mexico have seen a spike of over 20%. Arkansas, on the other hand, observed a decrease of about 3% in assisted living costs, though rates are expected to rise in 2024.
| Location | 2022 Cost (Historical) | 2023 Cost (Current) | 2024 Cost (Estimated) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas | $3,134 | $3,312 | $3,481 |
| U.S. Average | $4,070 | $4,459 | $4,802 |
| New Mexico | $3,465 | $4,185 | $4,752 |
| Oklahoma | $3,173 | $3,789 | $4,035 |
| Arkansas | $3,960 | $3,840 | $4,439 |
| Louisiana | $3,473 | $3,903 | $3,913 |
Costs can also vary greatly between different types of senior living. While assisted living costs $3,312 per month, memory care sees higher rates at an average of $3,763. Independent living is less expensive than both at $2,472. These variations are based on a variety of factors, including the level of assistance provided, the amenities available and if any specialized services, such as dementia care, are required. A senior's individual needs and preferences should always be considered to ensure the type of care selected is best suited to them.

While Medicaid does not directly cover assisted living care in Texas, seniors who are eligible for Medicaid may obtain assistance via the STAR+PLUS waiver. Services are provided by managed care organizations (MCO) and allows Medicaid support through an individually chosen health plan. This waiver replaced the previous Community Based Alternatives (CBA) waiver. The STAR+PLUS waiver covers a variety of long-term services, both medical and non-medical, for seniors who are classified as needing nursing home level care. The waiver allows for services to be provided in a person’s home, in adult foster care or within a residential facility, such as an assisted living community.
While the STAR+PLUS waiver does not cover the costs of room or board, it may allow seniors to offset costs through the provision of other services for qualifying people who reside in assisted living communities. The managed care program can include assistance with activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living, health care and assistance with medication.
STAR+PLUS waiver
The STAR+PLUS waiver replaced the Community Based Alternatives (CBA) waiver in 2014. The program has managed health care plans provided by managed care organizations (MCOs). Seniors can choose their plan provider from specific MCOs in each county. Some eligible individuals may be put on a waiting list to receive services.
All providers must offer basic services, with coverage dependent on specific needs. Different plans also offer a range of extra enhanced services and coverage.
Core services include:
For people to be eligible for the STAR+PLUS waiver, they must be either over the age of 65 or be an adult with a disability. They must also meet financial criteria and satisfy medical requirements, in that they would otherwise require nursing home level care in the absence of assistance. An assessment is necessary to determine medical needs.
To enroll in the program, seniors must first sign up for Medicaid. This can be done online through Your Texas Benefits. Alternatively, seniors can print or request a form to complete and return or apply over the telephone. A further application pack will be posted to people who are eligible to apply for the STAR+PLUS waiver. Applicants should choose their preferred health care provider within 15 days. If no choice is made, a provider will be automatically selected. After enrollment in the STAR+PLUS program, a coordinator will visit the applicant and create a tailored service plan.
Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) administers Medicaid throughout the state.

The short answer is that no, Medicare does not cover the cost of assisted living in Texas. Assisted living facilities are considered to be a “residential setting” and not a “clinical setting,” (think nursing homes). While Medicare doesn’t cover the cost of care received in an assisted living community, it does still cover things like approved medications, doctor visits, medical equipment, etc., just like it would if you lived at home.
For more information about when Medicare can be used to pay for senior living in a nursing home, and for Medicare-related resources, see our guide to Nursing Homes in Texas.
Seniors who are not eligible (due to location, financial situation, or other factors) for other types of financial assistance, do still have some options. See the table below for an overview of some of the most common ways to make Assisted Living affordable.

| Reverse Mortgages | Learn more about your options and how to apply at ftc.gov | If you own a home, you may be able to use a reverse mortgage to help pay for Assisted Living.

Reverse mortgage loans do need to be repaid with interest, typically within 12 months of receiving the loan. |
| Long-Term Care (LTC) Insurance | Learn more about Long-Term Care Insurance and how to apply for a policy at acl.gov. | Seniors who already have long-term care insurance may be able to use it to pay for Assisted Living.

Assisted living communities in Texas must adhere to strict regulations and rules set by Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HSSC). These regulations set out minimum requirements regarding staffing, care and amenities to ensure high standards of senior care.
| Topic | Rule |
|---|---|
| Assisted Living Admission Requirements | There are two licensing types in Texas for assisted living communities: A and B. The license types are largely based on a resident’s physical and mental ability to evacuate the premises in an emergency situation. Residents must be appropriate for the license type when admitted. If a resident’s situation later changes and is not in accordance with the license, the community is not obliged to retain them. A community cannot admit anyone whose physical and mental needs cannot be met by the facility. A community can, however, secure services through third-party providers to meet resident needs, with written agreement of the resident, their physician or their legal representative. |
| Assisted Living Facility Requirements | Assisted living facilities in Texas are not required to offer single rooms. No more than 50 percent of all beds in a facility can be in rooms for two people. Rooms can house up to four residents. One toilet and one sink must be available for every six residents, with one shower or bathtub available for up to 10 residents. In split-level buildings, there must be at least one bathroom and toilet on every floor with sleeping accommodation. Toilet rooms must be available for each gender. |
| Assisted Living Medicaid Policy | Texas’s Medicaid program covers assisted living services under the STAR+PLUS waiver. Assisted living facilities must have a contract with a resident’s managed care organization (MCO). |
| Assisted Living Scope of Care | Assisted living facilities provide housing, meals and supervision of the physical and mental wellbeing of residents. Facilities should provide either medication administration, personal care, including activities of daily living, or both. Communities must offer at least one activity or social program per week. A facility may offer temporary skilled nursing services for no longer than 30 days. |
| Assisted Living Service Plan Requirements | When admitting a new resident, assisted living communities in Texas are required to conduct an in-depth assessment. This should be completed within 14 days of admission, and should be completed by qualified staff. Based on the assessment, the facility must complete a written individualized service plan (ISP) that details an individual’s particular needs, preferences and situation. The service plan must be updated yearly and if there is a significant change in condition. |
| Background Checks for Assisted Living | Assisted living facilities in Texas require background checks for prospective employees. A person is ineligible for hire if they have a disqualifying conviction. |
| Medication Management Regulations | Only licensed or certified members of staff can administer medication to residents. For residents who can administer their own medications, monthly checks are required to ensure they are still able to self-administer necessary medications. Staff members can supervise self-administration of medication, including providing reminders that medication is due, opening and closing containers, measuring the correct amount of medication according to a prescription, and returning medications to safe storage. |
| Requirements for Reporting Abuse | Under Texas law, everybody has a responsibility to report suspected or actual elder abuse or neglect. Reports concerning abuse in assisted living facilities can be made to the Texas Department of State Health Services by calling (800) 458-9858. Alternatively, anyone can telephone the 24/7 Texas Abuse Hotline on (800) 252-5400. |
| Staff Training Requirements | All staff members must complete training and continuing education commensurate with their role. Managers of small facilities must have a minimum of a high school diploma or certification of equivalency. Managers of larger communities should have a bachelor’s degree, an associate’s degree in nursing, health care management or a related subject, or a high school diploma (or certification of equivalency), plus at least one years’ experience of working in health care management or general management. All managers hired post-August 2000 need to complete a 24-hour course on assisted living management within the first year of hire and also complete a minimum of 12 hours of ongoing education in related areas each year. Topics include ethics, laws, resident evaluations and financial management. All staff must receive four hours of orientation training before beginning their role. Full-time attendants must be a minimum of 18 years old or hold a high school diploma, and they must complete 16 hours of hands-on training and supervision. On-going yearly education and training are mandatory. |
| Staffing Requirements | In Texas, there are no minimum staff to resident ratios. There should be enough staff members to maintain safety, order and cleanliness, prepare and serve meals, help with laundry, provide basic care and supervision in accordance with residents’ individual service plans, assist with medication and be able to evacuate the property in an emergency situation. Every community must have a designated manager. In Type A facilities, small communities must have night shift staff available in case of an emergency and large communities must have awake and directly accessible night shift staff. All Type B communities need awake and directly available staff at nighttime. Communities must post monthly staffing patterns. |
