Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Georgetown, Texas

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.

  • Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
  • Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
  • Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including 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 Cost of Other Types of Senior Care

Knowledge of the rates different service providers charge for senior care can make long-term planning decisions easier. Adult day care is typically the lowest costing care type, but fees in Georgetown are not reported in the Genworth survey.

In nursing homes, the average semiprivate room costs $5,201 per month, and the corresponding number for a private room is $7,057.

Some of these focus on making aging in place at home feasible for longer, delaying transitions to institutional care settings. Other resources help guide older adults through the process of obtaining higher levels of care.

ResourceContactService
Williamson County and Cities Health District(512) 248-3252

In some cases, low-income individuals are eligible for assistance with health care expenses. Support services for those with daily living needs are offered as well. The WCCHD does not provide all services directly, but it can point callers in the right direction.
Area Agency on Aging of the Capital Area(512) 916-6062

To help seniors access nutrition, Meals on Wheels’ volunteers deliver food to individuals unable to cook, shop or drive on their own.

Older veterans who reside in Williamson County have access to the Veterans Services office, as do their dependents and survivors. Direct support is available, as is assistance with seeking benefits from Texas, Williamson County and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
