Make Elder Care Affordable for Texas Families
Why This Petition Matters?
The cost of elder care is overwhelming for many families in Texas. Medicare doesn’t cover in-home care expenses, forcing families to bear these high costs alone. For countless Texans, this financial burden is unsustainable, leaving families with impossible choices.
Our loved ones deserve care, dignity, and support. We’re asking Texas lawmakers to prioritize affordable elder care solutions, so every family can afford the help their loved ones need.

The Issue: Elder Care Costs are Straining Texas Families
Did you know?
- According to UT News, In Texas, the number of seniors 65 and older is expected to diversify and more than double from 3.9 million in 2020 to 8.3 million by 2050 and many will need in-home care.
- The demand for long-term care services is expected to continue to grow, as the number of individuals seeking care will double by 2050.
- Medicare coverage typically excludes in-home care, leaving families to cover the full cost of these essential services.
Families across Texas are making sacrifices to care for elderly loved ones at home, often draining their savings or taking on debt. This isn’t sustainable or fair to our hardworking families.

Our Solution: What We’re Asking Lawmakers to Do
We’re calling on Texas lawmakers to take immediate action by:
- Expanding Medicaid coverage to include in-home elder care, offering support to middle- and low-income families.
- Creating state-funded financial assistance programs so that families aren’t forced to shoulder the entire cost of elder care alone.
- Establishing tax credits or subsidies for families covering in-home elder care costs to relieve their financial strain.
