While McAllen’s seniors do pay substantially less for nursing home care than most older Americans, they also spend about $198 more each month on their care than average nursing home residents throughout the state. Nonetheless, McAllen is still one of the most affordable cities for nursing home care in southeast Texas. In Laredo, nursing home care costs an average of $745 more each month, and in Brownsville, the median cost of care is $1,133 higher than in McAllen. In Corpus Christi and Victoria, seniors typically pay $302 and $136 a month more, respectively, for nursing home care.

With a semiprivate room, the median monthly cost of nursing home care in McAllen is $5,217. On average, private rooms cost $10,524.
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.
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.
At $638 per month, seniors in McAllen could receive eight months of adult day health care for less than the average cost of one month of nursing home care. However, that assumes a semiprivate room, because having a private room more than doubles the monthly cost of nursing home care to $10,524. The monthly costs of home care and home health care are the same, $2,860, and assisted living averages $5,075 a month.

In the following list, we describe a few programs and services that may help seniors find a nursing home, obtain financial assistance for their care or delay transitioning to a nursing home altogether by receiving the care and assistance they need at home.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Meals On Wheels | (956) 213-9400 | Meals On Wheels is a national program striving to end hunger in the country's aging population. Volunteers with the local Meals On Wheels provider, Amigos Del Valle, deliver hot, nutritious meals to homebound seniors throughout the week. In addition to helping older adults avoid malnutrition, every delivery provides a bit of socialization and a wellness checkup. The service is free to seniors who meet income guidelines, but small donations are appreciated. |
| Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (800) 252-2412 | The Long-Term Care Ombudsman provides several free and confidential services to help the residents of McAllen's nursing homes and assisted living facilities live their best lives. Current nursing home residents and their families can file complaints about a facility's quality of care and administrative decisions that negatively affect quality of life. When the Ombudsman investigates, they seek a satisfactory resolution that protects the rights and best interests of residents. Seniors can also reach out to the Ombudsman for assistance choosing a nursing facility and finding programs that may help them pay for it. |
| Health & Human Services Commission | (956) 787-3131 | The Department of Health & Human Services is responsible for processing Medicaid applications. Workers at HHSC can advise seniors on their eligibility to receive government-subsidized long-term care services, check the status of applications and answer coverage questions. They can also check if seniors might qualify for food assistance and other helpful programs. |
| Area Agency on Aging | (956) 682-3481 | At the Area Agency on Aging, seniors can learn about and apply for government and nonprofit programs that could help them stay healthy while living at home. The AAA works closely with the local Aging & Disability Resource Center, which helps manage several assistance programs, reviews nursing homes' ratings and maintains a directory of providers of low-cost home care and other services. |
