Care Cost Comparison

As is the case in many communities in Texas, the different types of senior care in Willis span a relatively narrow cost range. The rate for round-the-clock skilled care in a nursing home ($5,095) is only about $1,200 more expensive than assisted living ($3,863). Each of these options include meals and lodging, but the 24-hour nursing services available to those with more extensive care needs justify the higher rate charged by nursing homes. Average monthly rates for in-home services from homemakers ($3,909) and home health aides ($4,099) are just a bit higher than assisted living. However, these rates are based on 44 hours of care services per week and don’t cover any food and accommodation expenses. Adding on the cost of groceries, upkeep, utilities and other household expenses can significantly widen the price gap with assisted living.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Willis

Medicaid in Texas

Low-income Americans with few resources can access essential health care services through the Medicaid program. This jointly funded collaboration between individual states and the federal government delivers health coverage to over 65 million people nationwide. The Medicaid program is administered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and it offers services through managed care providers to approximately 4.5 million eligible state residents.

Texans who meet Medicaid’s eligibility criteria are entitled to a number of health care benefits, including physician and specialist care, inpatient and outpatient hospital care, emergency room services, lab work, X-rays and other diagnostic tests, prescription medications, ambulance services, nonemergency medical transportation and institutional long-term care in a nursing home.

Qualifying for Texas Medicaid

Residents of Willis who are U.S. citizens or legal immigrants can qualify for long-term care services through Medicaid if they’re aged 65 or older or 64 or younger and have a disability lasting one year or longer. Seniors eligible to receive benefits through the Supplemental Security Income program are automatically enrolled in Medicaid by the Social Security Administration and don’t have to file a separate form.

Other applicants have to meet these financial requirements:

  • Have countable resources of $2,000 or less if single or combined countable resources of $3,000 or less if married and applying jointly
  • Have no more than $2,313 of income per month if single or $4,526 if applying with a spouse


Medicaid disregards some assets, such as a primary, owner-occupied home valued at $585,000 or less, household furnishings, personal belongings, irrevocable burial trusts and one vehicle. There are no exemptions for income so all sources count toward the expressed limit.

Applicants who meet all the eligibility criteria but exceed the income limits may be able to reach the necessary threshold by setting up a Qualified Income Trust. To meet Medicaid requirements, any monthly income above $2,313 must be deposited into the trust. Funds can only be withdrawn to pay specific medical and care expenses.

Applying for Medicaid

Seniors in Willis can contact Your Texas Benefits at (877) 541-7905 or apply for Medicaid online.

STAR+PLUS Waiver Program

Texas Medicaid only provides nursing home care as an entitlement, but it offers an alternative to institutional care through the STAR+PLUS waiver. This program is open to Medicaid-eligible seniors assessed as needing nursing home care but able to live in the community without safety risks. Approved applicants receive all-inclusive medical and long-term care services through their choice of Medicaid managed care providers serving Montgomery County. Each participant is provided with care-coordination services and other supports deemed necessary to meet their care needs, including:

  • Transitional services to move back to the community
  • Personal care and assisted living services
  • Physical, occupational and speech therapy
  • Nursing services
  • Adaptive aids
  • Medical supplies


To learn more about the STAR+PLUS waiver program or begin the application process, Willis residents can contact the Houston-Galveston Area Agency on Aging at (713) 627-3200.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Optional State Supplementation

Seniors and adults who are mentally disabled and reside in assisted living facilities currently receiving or eligible for SSI benefits are also entitled to an extra monthly stipend from the state. The Texas Optional State Supplementation program provides qualified individuals with an additional $60 to spend on unmet care expenses, such as room-and-board fees.

To apply for SSI and the Texas OSS program, Willis residents can contact the Social Security Administration at (800) 772-1213.

Community Care for the Aged and Disabled

Willis seniors and disabled adults who can no longer live independently and are at risk of nursing home admission may be eligible for assistance through the Community Care for the Aged and Disabled program. This federally funded program is open to Texas residents aged 18 or older who need daily assistance due to functional impairment or permanent disability. Applicants must meet income and asset limits of:

  • $2,313 per month in income and $5,000 in assets for single applicants
  • $4,626 in monthly income and $6,000 in assets for married couples applying jointly


Those approved for the program receive a range of services based on their living arrangements. Services provided to participants in assisted living communities can include:

  • 24-hour supervision
  • Housekeeping and laundry services
  • Personal care
  • Assistance with activities of daily living
  • Medication administration
  • Escorted transportation
  • Social and recreational activities
  • Emergency care


CCAD participants must contribute to their care costs by paying the room-and-board portion of their facility’s fees. 

Willis residents can contact the Houston-Galveston AAA at (713) 627-3200 to learn more about the CCAD program or apply.
