Wartime veterans and surviving spouses should check VA Aid & Attendance through the Dallas VA Medical Center. And Texas's STAR+PLUS Medicaid (including the HCBS waiver) can cover care services — though not room and board — for seniors who meet the functional and financial tests, after an HHSC medical-necessity assessment.

What shapes ccrc entry fees explained here
CCRCs layer a large refundable-or-not entrance fee on top of the monthly rate; the contract type (A, B, or C) determines how much you get back and how much future care is guaranteed.
CCRCs: what you're actually buying
A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) spans independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing on one campus, so a resident can age in place as needs change.
The assisted living and skilled nursing portions are HHSC-licensed (Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 247 and Chapter 242), and CCRC contracts are regulated by the Texas Department of Insurance. A typical monthly range is $3,200 to $6,800 a month plus a significant entrance fee.
The details that matter most rarely show up in the brochure:
- the entrance-fee refund terms (Type A, B, or C contract)
- the financial health of the operator and its reserves
- guaranteed access to higher levels of care and at what price
