Paying for Assisted Living in Pearland

Assisted living communities in Pearland typically accept public and private payments for housing and services, giving seniors several options for paying for care. Some of the most common payment solutions include personal income and savings, state-funded financial assistance programs and VA benefits.

  • Medicaid: The Medicaid STAR+PLUS program pays for assisted living services for qualified individuals. Although this program doesn’t cover the cost of room and board, it pays for personal care, respite, care coordination and meals.
  • Medicare: Since Medicare coverage only applies to medically necessary care, it doesn’t pay for assisted living services. However, seniors can use this insurance to cover fees for the skilled nursing services they receive in assisted living, bringing down their care costs.
  • VA Benefits: Veterans in assisted living can pay for their care through two VA programs, including Aid and Attendance and the Geriatrics and Extended Care program. Through these programs, seniors can reduce or cover out-of-pocket expenses for personal care services, meals and transportation.
  • Private Payments: Seniors use private funds to pay for all assisted living expenses, including housing, personal care, meals and recreation. Private pay strategies incorporate Social Security benefits, pension income, money from retirement savings and home equity.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Pearland

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.
