Personal funds. Nursing Homes. Some people enter a nursing home as private pay residents, using a combination of resources to pay their expenses and eventually spend down their resources and meet the requirements for Medicaid to pay for care. Some nursing homes require payment upon admission. If a resident pays for nursing home care with personal funds and depletes their resources, they may then qualify for Medicaid. In such cases, the state of Texas reimburses the nursing home for up to 3 months before Medicaid approval. The nursing home then refunds personal payments according to specific time limits.
Medicaid nursing home coverage is available only to people who are unable to care for themselves at home. They must also meet their state's eligibility limits regarding income and assets, which differ depending on whether the resident is single or part of a married couple (see below).
