Texas offers a Medicaid waiver for seniors to help offset the costs for assisted living accommodations. The program is called the STAR+PLUS HCBS program and is open to those who are enrolled in Texas Medicaid and receive Social Security income. The waiver can pay for either assisted living or in-home caregiver services, and allows recipients to avoid living in a nursing home.
