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.
The following resources may be of interest to seniors who are looking for services that will help them to safely age in place in their own homes. These services may make it easier for seniors to remain at home and delay the need for them to move to nursing home care.

Meals on Wheels Victoria | (361) 576-2189 | The Meals on Wheels program delivers a nutritious meal to homebound seniors. In order to qualify for the program, seniors need to be aged 60 or older and no longer able to prepare a meal for themselves. The meals are delivered on a Monday each week in microwave-safe containers, allowing seniors to easily reheat a meal each day for the rest of the week. The meals are delivered by volunteer drivers who provide a social check service at the same time as delivering the meal. Volunteers report any issues they may find to trained staff members or the relevant authorities. There is a small charge for each meal, but seniors will not be turned away if they are unable to pay for the service. |
Social Reassurance Program | (361) 576-2189 | The Social Reassurance Program matches volunteers with seniors in the area. These volunteers contact the seniors through a phone call or social media on a weekly basis. The volunteers are able to check on the mental and physical wellbeing of seniors during these weekly contact sessions. They will then report any concerns to staff members who will then contact family members or the relevant authorities. |
Transportation | (316) 576-2189 | The Victoria Senior Citizens Center provides curb-to-curb transportation services to seniors aged 60 and over who no longer have access to transport. The service runs in the mornings from Tuesday to Friday each week. Seniors need to contact the service to book a ride at least 24 hours in advance. Transportation is provided to grocery stores, medical appointments, community destinations and personal care appointments. There is a small donation requested for each ride, but transport will still be provided even if the senior cannot afford to contribute. |
