Average costs for assisted living near Austin can start around $3,500+ per month. Call us today for our current rate. Our prices are an all-inclusive rate for our care & services, with the exception of medications, incontinent supplies, and toiletries. Your rate will never go up during the duration of your stay, because we do not charge for different levels of care. In the event your loved one’s needs change, which may cause their level of care to go up, rest assured that the cost will not change.

We are advocates for both home health and hospice, and gladly work alongside with them to ensure the resident is receiving the most optimal care in a home setting as possible.

Assisted livings are considered a Long-Term Care Facility (LTCF), and long-term care insurances can offer some financial assistance with the cost of assisted living. Contact your long-term care insurance provider for more details.

The VA offers a program called, “Veteran’s Aid & Attendance,” which offer some financial assistance to veterans based on individual eligibility.

Pension and Aid & Attendance

The VA has programs available for veterans or for the single surviving spouse of the deceased veteran through disability income. These programs are called Disability Pension and Death Pension. It is required that the veteran had serviced on active duty for least 90 days, and one of those days were during a period of war. It is not required that the veteran provided Service combat, just that the veteran was in service during the period of war and was honorably discharged.

There is also another benefit to Pension, which is Compensation. Compensation is for veterans who became disabled due to injuries or illnesses while the veteran was on active duty.

It is important to note that a veteran cannot receive Pension or Compensation at the same time.

These are general guidelines and additional qualifications may be required. Contact your local VA office for assistance in accessing this benefit.
