There are various sources of assistance, but you'll need to do some research.
If you want money directly, I have no suggestions. If you want services in lieu of money, start with your local county's elder department, pro bono law clinics or attorneys, the TX elder agency if there is now, and AAA.
More detailed information could be provided if you elaborate on your needs for the type of financial help and the type of illnesses this senior has.
Also relevant is whether this person is a Veteran.
If the senior needs help with having caregivers coming in, see if that senior can apply and be accepted by Medicaid, which is a State run service which is paid for by the taxpayers. Medicaid could offer an Aide to come in for a few hours each week.
If the senior needs a higher level of care, then Medicaid would pay for continuing care at a facility, as that is less costly to the taxpayers then having full-time Aides come into a senior's home.
