The expenses associated with assisted living are understandably a significant concern for many seniors. Fortunately, financial aid is available for seniors who qualify. Texas’s Health and Human Services Commission operates a Medicaid program called STAR+PLUS. For eligible seniors who are at least 65 years of age or disabled, STAR+PLUS offers an alternative to nursing facility placement and may pay for assisted living services.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Texas page.
