Care Cost Comparison
The type of care required is the most significant factor that influences the cost of senior care in Houston and throughout the country. In Houston, the cost of nursing home care is more than $1,000 higher than the cost of assisted living. When compared with home care, the cost of assisted living is only slightly less. However, it’s important to consider other costs that are associated with continuing to live in the home when budgeting for home care, such as rent, utilities, groceries and home maintenance, which make home care a far more expensive option.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living
Community First Choice
The CFC option is part of the state’s Medicaid program. It’s designed to help seniors avoid further institutionalization by providing medical care and regular nurse visits to those who reside in assisted living facilities or who are receiving home care. The program provides seniors the chance to choose care providers when possible.
CFC is an entitlement program, which means that the eligibility requirements are more flexible. Applicants must be 65 years of age or older and require daily support to be eligible for this program. Applicants are also required to meet the financial eligibility requirements of the state Medicaid program. For more information on eligibility and how to apply, seniors can contact 1-866-566-8989.
Community Care for the Aged and Disabled (CCAD)
The CCAD program is a non-Medicaid program that’s run by the state of Texas’ Department of Health and Human Services. The program provides care options to seniors who choose to remain in their home or who live in an assisted living facility.
To be eligible, seniors must be residents of Texas who are not receiving Medicaid. They must also require daily care and meet the program’s financial requirements, as follows:
- Individual income may not exceed $2,250 per month
- Individual assets may not exceed a value of $5,000
To apply, seniors can visit their local Aging and Disability Resource Center or call 1-855-937-2372.
Optional State Supplement
Seniors who require additional financial support to help pay for the cost of room and board in an assisted living facility or long-term care home may apply for an optional state supplement(OSS). OSS payments are provided to seniors who receive long-term care and are a supplement to federal SSI payments.
The amount of OSS received is calculated based on the senior’s income and budgetary needs. Seniors can apply by contacting the Texas Department of Health and Human Services at 1-855-937-2372.
