There are several means to pay for assisted living in San Antonio. Most families and seniors start their financial planning by looking at private income sources and insurance policies. They also turn to federal and state programs, such as the Veteran Affairs (or VA), Medicaid, and Medicare, to help offset some medical and assisted living costs. Here’s an in-depth look at some payment methods.
Your loved one’s available private pay methods depend on their current financial situation.
Keep in mind, long-term care insurance policies vary drastically on what they can cover. It’s best practice to consult with your policy provider to learn what assisted living costs are covered under your plan.
Also, the state of Texas has no personal income tax, meaning seniors don’t have to worry about paying additional taxes on their Social Security and/or pensions.[02,03]
Your loved one can use their income resources, such as savings, Social Security benefits, retirement pensions, and investment returns, to cover assisted living costs. Or, they can use a combination of the following:
While Houston’s Harris County is known as the county with Texas’ largest veteran population, San Antonio is known as the city with the highest vet population. In fact, San Antonio has one of the nation’s largest veteran populations due to its high number of military bases and job opportunities for military veterans. The city continues to provide a higher quality of life to its veteran population by offering over 200 veteran resources and support services.
To help you navigate the range of resources available, you can reach out to Texas Veterans Network — San Antonio, also known as TVN. There, a TVN staff member will recommend relevant support services after evaluating you or your loved one’s current situation and unique needs. They’ll even continue communicating with recommended veteran organizations to help ensure solutions work for your family.
Veterans pension and Aid and Attendance benefits
If a senior veteran is enrolled in VA health care and qualifies for a pension from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (also known as the VA), they can use those funds to cover some assisted living costs. In addition to their VA pension, seniors with disabilities may also apply for the Aid and Attendance benefit, which can provide additional funds for assisted living.
A veteran must meet the criteria below to be eligible for the VA pension:
- Have an honorable discharge
- Have served at least 90 days of active duty (with at least one day during wartime)
- Meet low-income status, be over 65, or be disabled
In order to qualify for the Aid and Attendance benefit, veterans must meet one of the criteria below:
- Have limited eyesight
- Need assistance with activities of daily life
- Live in a nursing home due to physical or mental disability
- Be bed bound due to lack of health care services
The Military and Veteran Affairs Department supports and assists San Antonio veterans through service recognition and support services. The Bexar County Military and Veterans Services Center can help San Antonio veterans apply for their veterans benefits, file for claims, and more. The Alamo Area Council of Governments works with nonprofit organizations and programs to support veterans. And, the Texas Veterans Commission advocates for Texas veterans and their families and surviving spouses. They offer eight programs dedicated to helping veterans obtain benefits, file claims, and more. Below, you’ll find addresses and websites to access these resources.

Medicaid is a public health insurance program that is jointly funded by the state and federal governments. Texas Health and Human Services offers several long-term care services and disability programs to help seniors 60+, low-income seniors, and seniors with a disability receive Medicaid benefits.
STAR+PLUS Medicaid program
The state of Texas operates its own Medicaid program called STAR. Its managed care program specifically for seniors 65+ and individuals with disabilities is called STAR+PLUS. In addition to routine health care costs, the STAR+PLUS program covers long-term care services. These include nursing and personal care services, therapy extension services, nutrition services, and transportation services. Keep in mind that STAR+PLUS can only cover health care and long-term care services through agencies licensed and certified by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
For additional services to be covered within an assisted living facility, seniors must be eligible for Home and Community Based Services (also known as HCBS) Medicaid waiver program. This waiver can be used in assisted living facilities contracted with the resident’s managed care provider. This HCBS waiver enables seniors to reside and receive care in a residential setting like an assisted living community rather than an institutional setting like a nursing home.[05] The STAR+PLUS Home and Community Based Services waiver program can help cover the following costs in assisted living:
- Personal care
- Medical supplies
- Nursing services
- Respite care
- Physical, occupational, and speech therapies
- Adaptive aids, such as eyeglasses, hearing aids, orthotic devices, and orthopedic shoes [06]
When a senior applies for Medicaid, Texas Health and Human Services will assess their need for the HCBS program. The senior must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- Be 65 years of age or older
- Require an institutional level of care, commonly found in a nursing facility
- Earn less than $2,525 per month as an individual or $5,046 as a couple[07]
Note for Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) settings: Not all assisted living facilities in San Antonio will qualify as an HCBS setting. In order to qualify, a facility must:
- Be integrated into the greater local community
- Enable interested residents to seek work or volunteer opportunities
- Help the senior resident engage in local community life
- Allow the senior to control their own resources and finances
- Allow the senior to receive Medicaid care services[05]
For help understanding the Medicaid benefits you are eligible for, find a Texas Health and Human Services office near you, or search for local programs through their services search portal. You can also contact your local area agencies on aging (or AAAs) for assistance in accessing local programs. Below, you’ll find more resources to help you better understand Medicaid benefits for seniors along with search tools that’ll help you locate Medicaid benefits offices in San Antonio.

Read our guide to Medicare, Medicaid, and Long-Term Care
Medicare is a federal health insurance program that provides coverage to 65+ adults and individuals with disabilities. It cannot be used to cover room and board costs in an assisted living facility, but it can help cover some medically necessary care costs within an assisted living facility. The following Texas programs can help you save on Medicare costs and apply for Medicare benefits:
- The Texas Medicare Savings Program covers some Medicare Parts A and B premiums, deductibles, copayments, and/or coinsurance. Part A covers hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home health care services. Part B covers certain doctors’ services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services.
To qualify for this savings program, seniors mustn’t exceed a monthly income of $1,133 as an individual or $1,526 as a couple.[08]
- The Health Information, Counseling, and Advocacy Program (commonly referred to as HICAP) is a Texas program that offers legal advice, referrals, and assistance to Texans who are 60+ or qualify for Medicare.
For assistance with your eligible benefits and enrollment, contact your local long-term care (LTC) ombudsman. An LTC ombudsman advocates for the health care rights of assisted living residents and helps families learn about senior living options and payment methods. The Alamo Area Council of Governments also helps San Antonio seniors access the long-term care they need. It provides benefits counseling, care coordination, caregiver support, and more to aging San Antonio residents.

If a Texas resident qualifies for both Medicare and Medicaid, they can receive dual coverage through one Medicare-Medicaid Plan (MMP). This program is called the Dual Eligible Integrated Care Demonstration Project and is commonly referred to as “the Demonstration.” The Demonstration strives to improve service coordination, enhance quality of care, eliminate cost shifting between Medicare and Medicaid, and reduce costs for both the Texas and federal governments. To qualify for the Demonstration, a senior must meet the following eligibility criteria:
- Have Medicare Parts A, B, and D and receive full Medicaid benefits
- Be enrolled in the STAR+PLUS program for at least 30 days
Dual-eligible individuals should be automatically enrolled and may choose to opt out of the Demonstration after they receive an enrollment notification letter in the mail. To request additional information on this program, email Managed_Care_Initiatives@hhsc.state.tx.us.
Understand Texas laws and regulations for assisted living facilities
In Texas, all assisted living facilities must be licensed and certified by Texas Health and Human Services (also known as HHS) in order to operate and house residents. Texas Health and Human Services refers to assisted living facilities as ALFs and categorizes them into Type A and Type B. Type A ALFs house residents who don’t require routine attendance and are capable of following directions in an emergency situation. On the other hand, Type B ALFs provide care to residents who require nighttime attendance and assistance for evacuation during emergencies.[09]
All Texas ALFs must pass a life safety code, physical plant inspection, and health inspection before they are officially licensed. The life safety code examines a facility’s ability to safely house residents, while the health inspection can help ascertain whether it’s equipped to protect resident health. After an initial inspection, facilities are inspected at least once every two years.[10] During an inspection, Texas Health and Human Services checks for the following in an ALF:
- General facility construction
- Management of the facility
- Sufficient staff-to-resident ratios
- Compliance with employee background checks
- Implementation of safety and emergency features
- Proper protection from hazardous areas
- Documentation of fire drills, system checks, etc.[10]
The general public can use the Long-term Care Provider Search to access each licensed assisted living facility’s most recent inspection report and general facility information. To request any additional information not found on the site, email RSLTCR.RecordsMgmt@hhsc.state.tx.us.

COVID-19 regulations for San Antonio assisted living facilities
The city of San Antonio doesn’t have any COVID-19 regulations in place for assisted living facilities; however, the city offers regular updates and resources on its City of San Antonio COVID-19 website. Visitors are allowed on-site at assisted living facilities, but they must follow any protocols set forth by the community. Facilities are currently required to develop their own infection prevention and control measures regarding masks, physical distancing, and additional protocols for personal protective equipment (PPE) to help ensure resident safety during any active serious infection and/or outbreaks.
What to expect from assisted living in San Antonio
San Antonio has an increasing senior population. In fact, the 60+ population is projected to grow by approximately 20% by 2040.[11] The city aims to accommodate this aging population and has implemented a Senior Services Strategic Plan to evolve senior support services. This plan outlines efforts to rebrand city senior centers, expand medical services, and generally support local seniors. You’ll also find that San Antonio has expanded its senior living scene, especially the assisted living market, to accommodate seniors’ care needs and unique lifestyles. See what our in-network San Antonio assisted living communities have to offer:
Aging in place
When searching for senior living, many seniors look to age in place. Luckily, this is made easy with our in-network assisted living communities as they offer tiered levels of care. Seniors with minimal assistance needs can move in to the independent living unit and then transition to assisted living once their care needs increase. And, if memory impairments arise, many in-network communities also offer a secured memory care unit, suitable for individuals with dementia and memory loss.
Most partnering communities even provide on-site nursing care, including medication management, hospice care, and rehabilitative care. These services enable seniors to receive care within a comfortable setting, as many of these services can be provided within the resident’s unit or in an on-site clinic.
Veteran recognition and celebration
Seniors account for over 40% of the veterans in San Antonio.[04] That is precisely why many of our in-network assisted living communities find ways to recognize and celebrate veterans. Many communities have a memorial wall in their lobby or common areas to commemorate veteran residents’ years of service.
Communities are also known to go all-out for Veterans Day celebrations. Many will host a well-planned barbecue, party, or a multitude of events. The city of San Antonio also hosts many Veterans Day celebrations, which can be enjoyed during scheduled outings or while visiting with friends or loved ones.
Accommodations to beat the heat
Many seniors choose San Antonio for their retirement due to its year-round, warm weather and access to the glorious Texas Hill Country terrain, including beaches, woodlands, and caverns. In the summer, temperatures tend to get high, but that’s no problem for seniors living at our in-network assisted living communities. Our partner communities are one step ahead of the southern heat. They provide indoor and outdoor accommodations with comfortable levels of AC.
Some communities provide amenities like shaded pools, patios, and walking paths, while others provide a wide array of indoor activities. Some indoor activities and amenities include on-site game rooms, movie theaters, fitness centers, lounges, and more. So, on days when venturing outside isn’t an option, there’s plenty to keep anyone entertained on-site.
Devotional services reflect the resident population
Religion is very important to many seniors, so many of our in-network communities try to provide a peaceful, devotional space for residents to practice their respective faiths. Some communities even have an on-site chapel, a Bible study group, and visiting pastors. If a large number of residents practice the same faith, a community may even partner with a local religious leader who will host on-site devotional services.
Assisted living in the surrounding San Antonio suburbs
Assisted living near San Antonio allows for more peace and quiet. Seniors from around the area are likely to stick to their favorite locales when searching for a community. Some of the most popular affluent assisted living options can be found towards the outskirts of San Antonio, including Stone Oak and Alamo Heights. These suburban areas reflect similar city amenities to San Antonio, with a range of shopping centers, restaurants, and other attractions. Local senior residents can explore museums, sample wine at wineries, and visit historic sites. Suburban areas also tend to have less congestion and more open spaces, allowing for more parks, golf courses, and scenic walking trails.

Transportation for seniors in San Antonio
The average age of seniors entering San Antonio assisted living facilities is 81,[01] so their safest, most ideal mode of transportation is likely not the public transit system. To minimize any safety risk while getting residents from place to place, 84% of our San Antonio partner assisted living communities offer their own at-cost or complimentary transportation service.
If your senior loved one is more on the independent side or if you’re a visiting family member looking to take them around downtown, you may want to look into VIA Metropolitan Transit options, including buses, ride share, and paratransit services throughout the city. Seniors ages 62+ can ride for only a quarter Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and receive free rides on Saturday and Sunday. Seniors must obtain a VIA Reduced Fare ID to receive their senior discounts.

- Texas Hill Country. This Texas region is about an hour and a half from San Antonio, and it’s filled with picturesque ranches and natural wonders — springs, caverns, canyons, and stony hills.

Visitors looking to relax can sit back and sip on some wine at one of the popular Texas Hill Country wineries or birdwatch against majestic views on a river cruise.
Many of our in-network assisted living communities in San Antonio also take residents on outings and day trips. Outings include visits to local parks, museums, and performing arts theaters, among other attractions that match residents’ interests.
