There is no such thing as a free nursing home. Even Veterans Affairs facilities are paid for with prior service. The average cost for nursing home care in Texas in 2021 is over $6,000 per month! Far too few people have long-term care insurance, and not many families can afford to "private pay" for long. "Private pay" means writing a check every month, and that often leads to losing everything, including savings, homes, and personal belongings.

The options for paying for long-term nursing home care are limited, and many family members simply cannot afford to provide the care. Without the necessary knowledge and experience to take the right steps, a person could lose everything in the last months or years of his or her life just paying for care.
