More Ways to Pay for Memory Care
While Houston ranks among Texas’s more expensive cities for memory care, prospective residents and their families have several options for funding care. Depending on their financial and medical needs, they may obtain memory care coverage through veterans’ benefits, state and federal health insurance programs and private funding.
- Medicaid: Texas Medicaid houses the STAR+PLUS managed care program for seniors who need financial assistance with residential memory care. This program has numerous benefits, including coverage for adaptive aids, medication management, personal care and skilled nursing.
- Medicare: Medicare’s Part B coverage pays for medically necessary services such as rehabilitative therapies, medication administration and medical monitoring. However, it doesn’t pay for nonmedical services such as housing, personal care or daily meals.
- VA Benefits: The Veterans’ Administration helps qualified veterans pay for memory care through the Geriatrics and Extended Care Program, which pays for meals, help with daily living activities and medication assistance. Qualified veterans may also receive an increased monthly pension through the Aid and Attendance or Housebound programs.
- Private payments: In the absence of financial assistance, memory care residents pay for housing, personal care services, transportation, meals and other supportive services with their private income and assets. They have several options for private payments, including monthly retirement income, savings, investments or money from selling their home.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Houston
The Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) regulates long-term care providers, including memory care facilities in Houston and across the state of Texas. The department issues licenses to care facilities and ensures they are following all state and federal regulations by conducting regular inspections. Facilities must follow all regulations listed in the terms of their license.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Houston
Benefits
- Houston has warm conditions throughout the year, with daytime temperatures averaging 95 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer and 63 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter. This supports a comfortable environment for memory care residents sensitive to cold weather.
- Houston houses several nationally ranked hospitals, promoting high access to quality care for older residents. Houston Methodist Hospital and Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center have specialist Alzheimer’s units and a wide range of medical services to suit seniors' needs.
- Houston’s cost of living runs about 5% below the national norm, supporting financial stability for memory care residents with fixed incomes. Additionally, state-funded programs such as the STAR+PLUS managed care program promote access to affordable care for those who meet financial and medical criteria.
Drawbacks
- Ranking safer than just 2% of U.S. communities, Houston has a high crime rate of 57.34 incidents per 1,000 people annually. Fortunately, memory care communities offer a secure environment with monitored entry points and alarm systems.
- The American Lung Association finds high ozone pollution levels in Harris County, where Houston sits, and it gives the region an F for this type of pollution. Additionally, it gives Harris County a failing score for annual particle pollution levels and a C for 24-hour particle pollution. To minimize risks associated with environmental irritants, many memory care communities have air purification systems.
Memory Care Laws and Regulations in Houston
Houston Memory Care Communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all Memory Care Facilities in Texas are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in Texas page for more information about these laws.

A memory care community’s amenities contribute to its culture and residents’ quality of life, promoting cognitive engagement, social opportunities and physical activity.
- Bilingual Staff: According to the proprietary Caring.com database, approximately two dozen memory care facilities in the Houston region have staff members who speak a second language. This benefits bilingual memory care residents who return to their first language as their condition progresses.
- On-Site Rehabilitative Therapies: Visiting speech, occupational and physical therapists provide on-site services to support residents’ health and functioning while minimizing disruptions to their routines.
- Tailored Programming: Many memory care communities in Houston offer tailored programming for those with early, moderate and severe dementia, allowing them to accommodate the needs and abilities of each resident.
- Medical Concierge: Memory care communities often oversee the scheduling of medical appointments, care coordination and medication services for residents, relieving families of this burden so they can focus on spending quality time with their loved ones.
- Devotional Services: On-site devotional services enable residents to practice their faith, enhancing their sense of community and offering a comforting sense of familiarity. The Caring.com database indicates over 100 memory care facilities in the Houston region have this amenity.
