Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Corpus Christi, 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.

| Meals on Wheels | (361) 826-3150 | The Corpus Christi Meals on Wheels program delivers meals to homebound seniors aged 60 and over who are no longer able to prepare meals for themselves. Meals are charged on a sliding scale depending on the income of the senior and for a number of seniors, there is no charge for the meals. Volunteers deliver the meals around noon each day from Monday to Friday and each meal contains about a third of the daily calorie requirements for seniors. The volunteers provide a social check service and contact the relevant authorities or family members if something seems amiss. |
| Senior Companion Program | (361) 826 – 3154 | The Senior Companion Program assists seniors who want to stay independent in their own homes by matching them with volunteer companions who will assist them with basic tasks. The volunteers are all over the age of 55 and provide much needed social interactions for homebound seniors. Services offered include assisting with the tasks of daily living, grocery shopping, playing games, social activities and taking clients to medical appointments. |
| MIPPA | (361) 883-3935 | The MIPPA program assists seniors and their family members by providing free and unbiased information about Medicare. The counselors can help seniors to understand the Medicare benefits they are eligible for and how these benefits can reduce their monthly medical costs. They can help the seniors to apply for benefits and give them a list of nursing homes that allow Medicare payments. |
