Seasoned, elder care planning financial advisors in Texas
The right financial advisor for you depends on how you weigh location, expertise, experience, the clients they typically serve, and how they work with you.
When you’re managing the complexities of aging parents or planning for your own future care needs, you need an advisor who understands the unique challenges of elder care planning. A common mistake is overlooking how healthcare costs and long-term care options can impact your overall financial picture.
- Long-term care cost insight. Ask how they factor in nursing home, assisted living, or in-home care expenses into your financial plan.
- Medicaid and benefits navigation. Confirm their experience helping clients qualify for government aid without jeopardizing assets.
- Estate and guardianship planning. Ensure they address legal arrangements that protect your loved ones and your wishes.
- Coordination with healthcare providers. Find out how they work alongside doctors and care managers to align finances with medical needs.
Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
