Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Baytown, Texas

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.

Baytown Meals on Wheels(281) 427-2145The Baytown Meals on Wheels delivers hot and nutritious meals to homebound seniors aged 60 and over in Baytown and surrounding areas. Meals are delivered at around lunchtime each day from Monday to Friday. In order to qualify for the service, seniors need to be unable to prepare a meal for themselves and not have regular access to meal preparation assistance. The meals are delivered by a group of volunteers who provide a social check service at the same time as delivering the meals. These volunteers may be the only regular contact that seniors have with the outside world and they are able to report any issues to the relevant authorities. A donation is requested for each meal but no senior is turned away from the service if they are unable to contribute. 
Baytown Transportation Program(281) 424-5752The Community Development Transportation Program provides non-emergency transport services to low-income seniors aged 65 and older. Those who qualify receive an unlimited monthly bus pass and funds to use for door-to-door services in the city if their required destination is not serviced by a bus route. All buses in the city are wheelchair-friendly.
Medicare Information(800) 252-9240The Texas Health Information Program is funded by the federal government and the state of Texas. Counselors are available 24/7 to provide free and unbiased information to seniors regarding state health insurance plans. The staff members can assist seniors in applying for their preferred plan and they can explain the financial assistance options available to seniors looking at moving to long-term nursing care facilities.
