How seniors pay for senior apartments in Fort Worth

Seniors typically pay for a senior apartment the same way they’d pay rent at any ordinary apartment — using a combination of their personal income resources. Senior veterans or their spouses may also qualify for some veterans benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which can help pay rent at a senior apartment.

Senior apartments aren’t covered by Medicaid, Medicare, or long-term care insurance. However, those resources may cover some in-home health care services within a senior apartment. They may also be used to pay for a senior care facility, should future care needs arise.

Below you’ll find useful information on private payment methods, veterans benefits, Medicaid, Medicare, and local housing assistance. You’ll also learn about how these payment methods may apply to potential care needs in the future.

Private pay methods in Fort Worth

Seniors typically use private payment methods to pay rent at senior apartments in Fort Worth. These methods usually include income sources like your savings accounts, retirement pensions, investment returns, and/or Social Security benefits. And, depending on your current situation, the following options may also help pay for senior living costs:

Veterans benefits for senior apartments in Fort Worth

If you’re a veteran or their surviving spouse, you may be eligible for funds provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to help with costs of living. Senior veterans and their surviving spouses may be eligible for various pensions or disability benefits. The Aid and Attendance benefit is especially important for disabled senior veterans as it can be added to an existing VA pension to pay for anything that improves a veteran’s quality of life — which could include rent at a senior apartment or home care services.

If you’re unsure about your eligibility for VA benefits, it’s beneficial to reach out to a local veteran services organization (VSO) before you apply for any benefits. VSOs are vetted by the VA and can help you obtain your entitled benefits. They can often help you successfully file a claim or appeal a denied claim. You can check out this service-related disabilities fact sheet as a starting point to see if your condition qualifies you or a loved one for VA benefits.

Fortunately, Fort Worth makes accessing nationwide veterans services easy as most of them are available at one location — the Tarrant County Veteran Services Office. This office connects veterans to services offered by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans, Texas Veterans Commission, and more.

Fort Worth Medicaid and Medicare coverage for senior care services

Medicaid is a public health insurance program jointly funded by the state and federal governments, while Medicare is a federally-funded health insurance program. Neither can be used to pay for rent on a senior apartment, as they are health insurance programs. They can, however, help cover some health care costs, like in-home health care services, should you wind up needing them in your home. You’ll learn more about both options below.

Can I use Medicaid to pay for senior apartments?

Although Medicaid cannot be used to pay for rent at a senior apartment, it can help cover some long-term health care services and medically necessary in-home health care services within a senior apartment.

Most Texas seniors who qualify for Medicaid receive their coverage through STAR+PLUS — the state’s managed care program for seniors 65+ and individuals with disabilities. It’s operated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). As of 2023, seniors must not exceed the following annual income limits to qualify for Medicaid:^[03]

$2,742 as an individual
$5,484 as a couple

If you or a senior loved one are planning for care needs that may arise in the future, you’ll want to learn about STAR+PLUS’ home and community based services (HCBS) waiver program. It can help cover home health care services in any qualifying non-institutional setting a senior calls home — including a senior apartment, assisted living community, or memory care community. Covered costs can include the following:

Personal care services
Health care services
Respite care services
Medical supplies

To qualify for this waiver, seniors must be 65 or older, require an institutional level of care typically found in a nursing home, and meet income requirements for Medicaid.

Can I use Medicare to pay for senior apartments?

Seniors who are 65+ and/or have a disability may qualify for the Medicare program in Texas. Even though it doesn’t cover rent or living costs at a senior apartment, it can help cover several medical care services. Medicare services can include the following:

Hospital stays
Hospice care
Certain doctors’ services
Outpatient care
Medical supplies
Preventive care

Medicare-eligible seniors in Fort Worth can receive assistance with their Medicare benefits, legal advice, and referrals by utilizing the resources listed below. You can also visit the federal Medicare website or dial 2-1-1 for more information.

Can I qualify for both Medicaid and Medicare?

If you’re a Fort Worth resident who qualifies for both Medicare and Medicaid, you might qualify for dual coverage. Texas offers a joint Medicare-Medicaid Plan (MMP) called the Dual Eligible Integrated Care Demonstration Project for six counties — with Tarrant County being one of them. This project is commonly referred to as “the Demonstration,” and it aims to offer the following:

Improved health care service coordination
Enhanced quality of care services
Eliminated cost shifting between Medicare and Medicaid
Reduced costs for the state and federal governments

To qualify, a senior must meet the following eligibility requirements:

Be enrolled in Texas’ STAR+PLUS program for a minimum of 30 days
Have Medicare Parts A, B, and D, as well as receive full Medicaid benefits

Qualifying seniors should automatically be enrolled in the Demonstration. If you’d like to opt out, you can do so after you receive a letter of notification in the mail. If you’d like additional information on the program, you can email managed_care_initiatives@hhsc.state.tx.us.

In Texas, there are several programs and organizations to help you navigate Medicaid and Medicare. Below, you’ll find Medicaid and Medicare applications, local organizations that can assist you with your applications, and resources to help you better understand your options.

Public assistance for seniors in Fort Worth

Some seniors may be eligible for public assistance programs and Social Security benefits depending on their financial situation and work history. Below, you’ll find an overview of housing assistance options and Social Security benefits.

Can I receive housing assistance for senior apartments?

Fort Worth Housing Solutions (FWHS) provides several housing assistance programs to low-income residents, with the most common program being the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), formerly known as Section 8. It can be used to cover a portion of rent at senior apartments. It’s also important to note that the senior apartment owner must agree to rent under the program, so be sure to check with each prospective community if you plan on using an HCV.

As of 2022, FWHS must provide 75% of its vouchers to “extremely low-income” applicants. For a senior to qualify as extremely low income, their annual income mustn’t exceed the following amounts:^[04]

$19,000 as an individual
$21,700 as a family of two

Keep in mind, the HCV program only accepts applications during certain periods and often has long waitlists. If you’ve been waitlisted, you may be selected through a lottery system. Fort Worth Housing Solutions (FWHS) also offers other housing and rental assistance programs; however, seniors must meet unique criteria to qualify. Reach out to FWHS to see what you may qualify for.

Can I use Social Security benefits to pay for senior apartments?

As a senior and/or former worker, you may qualify for some Social Security benefits that can help offset senior apartment costs and living expenses. The Social Security Administration (or SSA) offers many benefits. The benefits available to you will depend on your work history and current situation. Learn more about each Social Security benefit below.

Social Security Retirement (SSR) benefit: SSR is a monthly check received during retirement after an individual has retired or reduced their working hours. Eligibility is dependent on the senior’s prior work.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): The SSDI program pays monthly benefits to workers with qualifying disabilities who have worked long enough and recently. Social Security defines a disabled individual as someone who cannot work due to a severe lasting medical condition that prevents them from doing work they did in the past.^[05] When an individual turns 65, SSDI payments usually become SSR payments. If a senior wishes to continue working and receiving SSDI payments, they might be able to; however, it’s strongly recommended that they reach out to a disability attorney.
Supplemental Security Income (or SSI): The SSI program provides monthly payments to qualifying individuals with a disability or seniors 65+ regardless of work history. These payments may be received in addition to SSR and SSDI payments. Eligibility requirements include having limited income and resources.
Social Security survivors benefits: The survivors benefits plan pays a monthly benefit to provide financial support for widows, widowers, and dependents of a deceased worker. This monthly payment is known as an annuity and is meant to ensure a reliable income stream for the survivors of a deceased family member who worked and paid Social Security taxes.

Understand Texas laws and regulations for senior apartments

Senior apartments in Texas are not regulated by a state agency. They’re regulated the same as any standard apartment complex. And, just like any rental property, senior apartments are required to comply with general Texas housing laws, such as the Texas Property Code and Fair Housing Act. These laws help ensure that senior apartment residents in Texas are not discriminated against and that they’re provided with safe, well-maintained housing. Furthermore, most Texas senior apartments have a minimum age requirement of 55, with some apartments raising it to 62.

Below, you’ll find a summary of some of the rights you have as a tenant at a senior apartment. You’ll also find a breakdown of how senior apartments must accommodate seniors with a disability.

What are my rights as a senior apartment tenant in Texas?

Senior apartment communities are required to comply with the state’s housing and apartment regulations for landlords and tenants. It’s useful to learn about tenant’s rights, as it’ll help you find a safe and satisfactory living situation while you rent.

Here’s a brief overview of some important tenants’ rights in Texas:^[06]

Residents hold the right to ask their landlord to repair problems that risk their health and safety, and landlords must make a diligent effort to repair the problems at hand.
Residents may terminate their lease if a problem that affects their health hasn’t been resolved after two notices to the landlord and within a reasonable timeframe — usually seven days.
Residents may hire an external contractor to fix the problems at hand if their landlord fails to resolve issues that affect their health after multiple notices within a reasonable timeframe. Residents can then submit their expenses to the landlord to deduct from their rent.

Before attempting to terminate a lease or hiring an external contractor, it’s strongly recommended that you reach out to an attorney or a local tenants association. Consulting a housing expert will prevent you from breaching any lease agreements, and it’ll hopefully lead you to the end result you desire. It’s also recommended that tenants provide multiple written notices to their landlord and keep a copy of each notice as proof.^[06]

If you’re seeking more information on your rights as a senior apartment tenant, be sure to read the Texas Tenants’ Rights Handbook.

How do senior apartments accommodate seniors with disabilities?

In Texas, federal nondiscrimination laws — such as the Fair Housing Act, Section 504, and Americans with Disabilities Act (or ADA) — protect tenants from being discriminated against due to disability. This prohibits senior apartment landlords from refusing housing due to a senior’s disability. Furthermore, these laws require housing providers to provide reasonable accommodations and modifications in housing, programs, and activities for individuals with disabilities.

If you’re a senior with a disability, you have the right to request reasonable accommodations and modifications within your senior apartment community. Reasonable accommodations are defined as changes to facility policies. Some examples of reasonable accommodations include the following:^[07]

Allowing a service animal to live with a resident even when there’s a no-pets policy in place
Assigning a parking spot for easy entry to the resident’s building
Changing the due date of rent to reflect a resident’s disability income payment dates

Modifications are structural changes to common areas and individual units. Some examples of reasonable modifications in line with ADA include the following:^[07]

Installing a specialized smoke detector for a resident with a hearing impairment
Adding a wheelchair ramp to enable a disabled resident to easily access shared spaces and participate in resident activities
Installing grab bars or widening doorways in a resident’s unit to accommodate wheelchair users

These nondiscrimination laws apply to all senior apartments in Fort Worth. Senior apartment landlords are required to pay for such modifications unless providing them would pose an undue financial or administrative burden. If you’d like more information, see this detailed infographic on reasonable accommodations and modifications for Texas renters.

Who do I contact for additional questions or concerns while renting a senior apartment?

For general concerns, Fort Worth offers an overview of renter’s rights and guidelines on its city website. For further questions regarding a rental lease, the city recommends that renters reach out to the following agencies:

Better Business Bureau
1612 Summit Ave.
Fort Worth, TX 76102
