Need Advice: Struggling to Afford Senior Care in Houston for My Dad

Hi everyone,

I'm in a really tough spot and could use some advice. My dad’s care needs have grown to the point where I can no longer manage them on my own, and I’m feeling completely overwhelmed and drained. I recently learned that senior care facilities in Houston can cost around $4000 per month, which is far beyond what I can afford.

I'm reaching out to see if anyone has been in a similar situation or knows of any resources that might help. Specifically, I'm wondering:

Are there any subsidized or income-based programs available in Houston for senior care?

Has anyone had success with Medicaid or other state-funded options for elder care?

Are there alternative care options or community services that might be more affordable?

Any advice on navigating this transition while managing the emotional toll it’s taking on me?

I appreciate any insights, personal experiences, or guidance you all can offer. Thanks in advance for your help.
