Located in Northeast Texas, the small but charming city of Paris is home to 4,906 seniors aged 65 or older. While Paris is known chiefly for its historic downtown district and a miniature replica of the Eiffel Tower, it’s also home to excellent nursing homes and health care services, including the Paris Regional Health Hospital, where seniors may access emergency care, medical treatments and surgeries without extensive travel.
Nursing homes are facilities that provide 24-hour nursing care, disease management and specialized treatments such as wound care and oxygen therapy. They’re generally better for frail seniors with complex health conditions and medical needs that assisted living caregivers aren’t qualified to manage. At a typical cost of $5,171 per month, nursing care is relatively affordable in Paris compared to the U.S. average. However, it’s still slightly more expensive than assisted living or home health care, which may be better options for seniors who don’t require 24-7 nurse attention.
This guide helps families learn more about aged care options in Paris and compares the cost of nursing in the city with nearby locations. It also includes resources seniors can access for more information.
