The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Irving, TX for 2024

Irving is located just outside of the city of Dallas in Texas. It is home to the Mandalay Canals, which offer plenty of water activities for residents, including picnics and nature watching. Seniors who require medical attention have access to several hospitals, including Baylor, Scott and White Medical Center and the Irving Health Center.

Individuals who require nursing home care require the most extensive type of long-term care outside of hospitalization. This involves medical monitoring by a trained professional, grooming, bathing and help with meals. Seniors who don’t need constant monitoring may benefit better from assisted living or home health care instead, which tends to be less expensive. A semiprivate room in a nursing home in Irving costs around $5,171 per month, while a private room costs around $6,692. This is less than the national average for both, according to the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey.

This guide covers the costs of multiple types of long-term care in Irving and lists some of the most popular resources for older adults in the area.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Irving, TX

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.
