Yes. The Alfredo Gonzalez Texas State Veterans Home in McAllen is operated by the Texas Veterans Land Board for eligible veterans and some spouses; HHSC licenses it for 160 beds, 60 of them reported as Alzheimer's beds.
Its CMS ratings and inspections are on its facility page. Ask its admissions office about eligibility and the wait list early.
How are McAllen nursing home stays paid for?
Medicare pays for short-term rehab after a qualifying three-day hospital stay, Texas Medicaid pays for long-term care for residents who qualify, and others pay the home's private daily rate; CareScout's 2025 Texas medians are $185 a day semi-private and $250 private.
Ask each home for its private rate in writing and whether it has a long-term Medicaid bed open, since certification does not guarantee an opening on the day you need one.
