To manage assisted living expenses, many Allen seniors rely on multiple funding sources. These include financial assistance programs such as Medicaid and VA benefits, as well as various sources of private funds. By developing a payment strategy that uses a mix of public and private pay solutions, assisted living residents can budget for long-term care.
The Texas Department of Health and Human Services can help seniors find assisted living homes within their budget and level of care they require. Those with Medicaid, Medicare, or SSI income, may be eligible for assisted living financing. The STAR+PLUS serves specific areas of the state, providing an alternative to nursing facility placement and also covers the cost of assisted living.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Texas page.
