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 city of Houston has a large population of senior citizens and provides a number of free resources and services to help them. The resources in this table may assist those wanting to remain living independently in their homes and those living in a nursing home.
