Support Medicaid Expansion and Tax Credits
In Texas, families face overwhelming financial burdens when it comes to caring for elderly loved ones. With Medicare often not covering the costs of in-home elder care, families are left struggling to provide the necessary support for their senior family members. Projections show the need for elder care in Texas will only increase as our aging population grows, placing even more stress on families who want to keep their loved ones safe and cared for in the comfort of their own homes.
We need your support to make affordable in-home elder care for seniors in Texas a reality. We’re calling on Texas legislators to take meaningful action by expanding Medicaid, providing tax credits, and establishing government funding options for elder care. Your signature can help Texas families gain access to vital support for aging parents and family caregivers.
What We’re Asking For:

1. Medicaid Expansion for Elder Care in Texas
2. We urge the state to expand Medicaid to cover in-home elder care services, including for middle- and low-income families. Medicaid expansion for elder care would provide vital support for senior citizens who need assistance with daily living tasks, dementia care, Alzheimer’s care, and disability care.
3. Tax Credits for Elder Care Costs
4. Establish tax credits or deductions for family caregivers managing in-home elder care costs. These credits would help offset the significant expenses of caring for an aging parent, spouse, or family member and make senior citizen care more affordable.
5. Subsidized Elder Care Programs
6. Advocate for subsidized elder care programs in Texas, including financial assistance for respite care and in-home support. State funding would help families afford essential care services and provide aging parent support for those in need of Alzheimer’s care, dementia care, and other specialized services.
7. Government Funding for In-Home Care Assistance
8. Implement state-funded programs that provide financial support to Texas families and caregivers. Families managing the costs of elderly parent care in Texas should not have to bear these burdens alone. Government funding for elder care can help reduce senior citizen care costs, provide disability care, and make affordable in-home elder care a reality.
