How to pay for independent living in Fort Worth

Because independent living focuses on lifestyle, convenience, and community rather than medical care, most residents pay for it privately. Insurance and government benefit programs typically don’t cover independent living expenses, since these communities don’t provide personal or health care services as part of their standard offerings.

Private pay options

Personal income and assets that families often use to pay for independent living include:

VA benefits

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers several programs that can help eligible veterans and surviving spouses pay for independent living. These benefits can ease financial pressure and make it simpler to enjoy a comfortable, maintenance-free lifestyle in a community that fits your preferences.

Programs that may help include:

To maximize your benefits, gather necessary documents early and work with a VA-accredited benefits counselor, who can guide you through the application process and ensure you receive the support you’ve earned.

Resources for veterans in Fort Worth

Over 40,000 veterans live in Fort Worth,[03] and the following organizations and agencies support them with guidance, resources, and assistance in accessing available benefits and programs.

Medicaid

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps cover certain health and long-term care services for eligible individuals. While it doesn’t pay for room and board in an independent living community, it may cover medically necessary home care services if you qualify and need support while living there.

In Texas, these services are available through the state’s Medicaid STAR+PLUS and STAR+PLUS Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver programs.[04,05] Because these waivers aren’t entitlements, applicants may be placed on a waiting list.

Services typically covered include:

  • Help with activities of daily living (ADLs)
  • Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
  • Skilled nursing care
  • Recreational programs
  • Transportation
  • Daily meals
  • Housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation

Eligibility depends on both medical and financial factors. If you’re considering Medicaid, review available programs carefully to ensure the option you choose aligns with your needs.

Medicaid resources in Fort Worth, TX

Medicare

Medicare is a federal health insurance program for adults 65 and older, as well as for younger individuals with qualifying disabilities or medical conditions.[06] While Medicare doesn’t cover independent living costs, it can help pay for medically necessary health services received while living in a community — including prescriptions, doctor visits, and durable medical equipment prescribed by your physician.
