Houston is the fourth-largest city in the US and home to a rapidly growing senior population. Harris County has hundreds of licensed senior care facilities, giving families a wide range of options at varied price points.
The Houston metro area's cost of living is lower than many major cities, which means assisted living and memory care tends to be more affordable here than in markets like Los Angeles or New York. Home care rates are similarly competitive.
Houston is also well-served by Medicare and Medicaid programs. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission administers several Medicaid waiver programs that may help offset senior care costs for qualifying families.
