How to Pay for Assisted Living in Austin
Seniors in Austin rely on a variety of payment methods to cover assisted living expenses, including state programs, veterans’ benefits and personal assets. When planning for senior care expenses, using a mix of payment strategies helps to ensure long-term residential care remains financially viable.
- Medicaid: The Texas Medicaid STAR+PLUS program helps seniors avoid nursing home placement by promoting access to services in assisted living communities. This program is available to those who meet financial and functional criteria and pays for personal care services, transportation, meals, and personal care.
- Medicare: Similar to other health insurance plans, Medicare doesn’t cover nonmedical care or the costs associated with assisted living. However, it pays for home health care services assisted living residents receive from third-party providers, helping to reduce overall care costs.
- VA Benefits: Qualified veterans receive financial assistance through two VA programs, helping them pay for personal care services, room and board, meals and transportation services. These programs include Aid and Attendance, which provides a cash benefit of up to $2,727, and the Geriatrics and Extended Care program.
- Private Payments: Social Security benefits, long-term care insurance, proceeds for home sales and withdrawals from retirement savings help seniors pay for all assisted living costs, including housing, custodial care, meals and recreation.
Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Austin
The Texas Department of Health and Human Services may have programs and services to help seniors afford the cost of assisted living. Medicaid may also help seniors pay for assisted living in Austin.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Texas page.

What To Consider About Assisted Living in Austin
All long-term care facilities in Texas are managed by the Texas Health and Human Services. The agency provides licensing and regular inspections of communities to ensure they abide by the assisted living statutes set forth by the state.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Austin
- Austin offers excellent health care options, including the Ascension Seton Northwest Hospital, which ranks among the best hospitals in the nation for safety and quality.
- Exceeding national norms by 9%, the cost of living in Austin affects the affordability of long-term care. However, qualified seniors may pay for services through the STAR+PLUS program, and the proprietary Caring.com database shows that two dozen assisted living communities accept veterans’ benefits.
- Texas doesn’t have a state income tax, letting seniors keep a higher portion of their retirement income for assisted living expenses. The city has high property taxes, but property tax exemption programs reduce this burden for assisted living residents who maintain home ownership.
- Austin’s violent and property crime rates come in among the highest in the nation, with the city reporting about five violent incidents and 36 nonviolent offenses per 1,000 people every year. Local facilities offer security features, such as monitored surveillance cameras and alarm systems, making assisted living an attractive alternative to living alone.
- Austin joined the AARP Age-Friendly Network in 2012, and it supports a welcoming environment for assisted living residents through a comprehensive city action plan. This includes easy-to-use public transportation services, affordable housing and access to the Commission on Aging meetings.
Assisted Living Laws and Regulations in Austin
