COVID-19 Rules for Assisted Living in Houston

For assisted living communities, COVID-19 rules and regulations are typically set at the state level. You can view specific rules on our guide to assisted living in TX. These rules change often, and many communities have policies in place that go above and beyond what’s required by the state, so you should contact your local community for more information. Additionally, you can contact your local Area Agency on Aging to learn more.

How to Pay for Assisted Living in Houston

At $4,245 per month, the typical senior in Houston has a more affordable fee than the average American’s $4,500 but does pay more than the $3,998 norm for Texas.

Assisted Living in Houston vs. Nearby Cities

Although Houston’s median fee is above the state average of $3,998, the city’s assisted living facilities are often more affordable than their contemporaries in Beaumont, where the average is $4,372, and Victoria, where fees are typically $5,600. Seniors looking for less costly assisted living within a reasonable distance of Houston may wish to consider College Station, where the norm is $3,998 per month.

  • Houston: $4,245
  • Texas: $3,998
  • National: $4,500
  • Beaumont: $4,372

Assisted Living vs. Other Types of Senior Care

At $1,099, adult day care centers offer the most affordable type of senior care in Houston, but seniors comparing this fee to assisted living should include their home maintenance expenses to find the true overall cost. They should also add those expenses to the fees of homemaker and home health aide agencies, both of which typically charge $4,576 per month. The most expensive type of care is delivered within nursing homes, where a standard semiprivate room will cost in the region of $5,262.

  • Assisted Living Facility: $4,245
  • Homemaker Services: $4,576
  • Home Health Aide: $4,576
  • Adult Day Health Care: $1,099

Free and Low-Cost Assisted Living Resources for Seniors in Houston

The resources listed here are only a selection of the numerous supports available to Houston’s seniors. They are provided by nonprofit organizations and government agencies and are mostly free, but some affiliated services may incur a small cost.

Resource Contact Service
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Program (888) 687-2277 The purpose of the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Program is to provide free support to seniors who may be unsure of the latest tax law changes. The service is available online and in person. The web option provides seniors with free tax-preparation software and direct access to an IRS-certified volunteer who can answer questions and provide additional support. The in-person option lets seniors make an appointment with their nearest AARP-approved facility, where they can drop off their tax documents. A volunteer does the prep work for them, only requiring the senior’s input at the final stage.
Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program (800) 296-2606 The Long-Term Ombudsman Program is administered by the Houston Health Department. It’s an advocate for the rights of seniors residing in assisted living facilities and other types of care communities. Most of the program’s staff are trained volunteers who regularly visit facilities to educate seniors about their rights and listen to their complaints in confidence. The ombudsman investigates complaints and pursues resolutions with care providers through negotiation.
Centers for Life (713) 640-6817 YWCA operates 11 centers throughout Houston, each dedicated to providing seniors with opportunities to develop themselves physically, intellectually and emotionally. The centers offer opportunities for members to learn more about nutrition, improve their fitness and socialize with others in their age groups.
Harris County Veterans Services (281) 876-6600 The officers at Harris County Veterans Services can help vets and their families apply for the benefits they’re entitled to, including pensions, educational opportunities and compensation. They can also help clients find missing documentation required to claim benefits.
Advocate Legal (832) 393-4074 Advocate Legal is a nonprofit founded to help Houston’s low-income seniors. Although most of its work relates to guardianship, it also provides assistance to clients who may be entitled to benefits that can cover some of their long-term care costs. Advocate Legal can also help seniors access public benefits.
