Paying for assisted living in Texas

When it comes to paying for assisted living in {State}, seniors and their families have a variety of options to choose from. In some circumstances, families can source from their private and public funds to pay for the costs of assisted living in Texas.

You’ll learn about the options seniors or their families might have on hand to cover costs of assisted living. We also outline several public resources, such as Medicaid, Medicare, and VA benefits, that may be available to help you pay for care services.

Private pay options. To get their ideal assisted living environment, seniors or their families typically dip into their personal funds to pay. This can be savings built up over the years, retirement, pensions, and any income or assets the senior has available.

It’s also worth noting that some forms of income are taxed differently in Texas. While Social Security income isn’t taxed in the “Tar Heel State,” other forms of retirement income are taxed at the state’s 4.99% income tax rate (as of 2022):

  • Pensions
  • IRA/401k withdrawals

Depending on the cost of care needs over time and an individual’s financial situation and assets, the private pay methods below could fully fund the costs of an assisted living facility in Charlotte. Seniors and families might want to consider all possible ways to fund their ideal senior living situation.

Note that long-term care insurance policies can differ in what services are covered. You’ll want to check directly with your provider to see what services are covered. The same goes for life insurance. You may be able to sell or surrender your life insurance policy, but you need to consult with your insurance provider directly first to see what’s possible
