Sources Frisco families combine
Most families layer several sources rather than relying on one. Private savings and Social Security tend to lead the way, and a long-term-care insurance policy picks up next when the family holds one. 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.

VA Aid & Attendance Benefit: what drives the number
VA Aid & Attendance is an enhanced pension for wartime veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily activities, and it's widely underused. It can add a meaningful amount toward assisted living, memory care, or in-home care each month, and it follows the veteran rather than the facility. DFW veterans apply through accredited county service officers and the Dallas VA Medical Center; never pay a fee to file.
