Cypress, Texas, is an unincorporated community located just outside of Houston. Nearly 8% of its 152,080 residents are adults 65 years of age or older. Seniors who live in Cypress have access to several notable hospitals, including Houston Healthcare’s North Cypress campus, which specializes in physical therapy, rehabilitation, stroke care and additional medical services. Also nearby are the Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital and the Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospital, among other options. A semiprivate room in a Cypress nursing home costs an average of $5,627 per month, which is lower than the corresponding rate in many other parts of the country.
Nursing homes meet the needs of individuals who require an advanced level of care, including medical attention and supervision. Nurses and aides are commonly available on a 24/7 basis. Because of the staffing requirements and specialized care, nursing homes are comparatively expensive. Assisted living and home health care are two less intensive, more affordable options for seniors who don’t need the level of care a nursing home provides.
This guide details the price of nursing home care and other senior living options. Then, it covers some resources Cypress’s older adults can turn to for assistance.

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.
Cypress’s older residents may benefit from tapping into the following resources. Services such as these may ease the burdens of living independently, allowing seniors to remain at home longer rather than transitioning to a higher level of care. When nursing home care does become necessary, certain organizations may assist with the transition.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Meals on Wheels | (281) 885-4622 | Meals on Wheels is an offering from Northwest Assistance Ministries. Volunteer drivers deliver nutritious meals to homebound individuals up to six days per week. Certain seniors can also receive grocery deliveries through this program. At each delivery, drivers check on enrollees and provide an opportunity for conversation. |
| Harris County Area Agency on Aging | (832) 393-4301 | The HCAAA is another organization through which seniors can access home-delivered meals. The agency’s other offerings include coordination of support for caregivers, in-home services and benefits counseling. It also provides referrals to other resources when appropriate. Adults aged 60 and older are eligible for help from the HCAAA. |
| Harris County Protective Services | (713) 394-4000 | HCPS runs three services to assist elderly adults. By providing case managers, its guardianship program assists adults who have lost the ability to care for themselves because of age and/or disability. Meanwhile, the Representative Payee Program gives financial management help, and the Senior Justice Assessment Center aids individuals who have suffered from elder abuse. |
| Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston | (713) 874-6588 | Catholic Charities performs in-home assessments and supports the mental health of seniors through education, assessments and counseling. It also makes referrals and checks on seniors via phone calls and home visits. The program is staffed by licensed professionals, including social workers and case managers. Isolated individuals 60 years of age and older are eligible. |
| Benefits Counseling | (832) 393-4301 | Through the Benefits Counseling program, the Houston Health Department makes certified health care counselors available to seniors. The minimum age for eligibility is 60. This program helps clients understand Medicaid, Medigap and other insurance topics. It can also assist with housing issues and institutional care matters, among other needs. |
