What to Consider About Assisted Living in Decatur

The Sid Richardson Scout Ranch hosts get-togethers for Boy Scouts every year in Decatur, Texas, while the Wildwood Naturist's Resort is open year-round and accepts members of all ages, including seniors from the lone assisted living community in the nearby town.

In Decatur and all of Texas, regulation of residential care facilities occurs through the Texas Department of Health and Human Services  for Type A or B facilities. Type A is for assisted living communities, which offer residents basic room and board and emergency response at a minimum, but which are free to offer additional amenities like group trips and community events. Staff at these communities also help residents with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing and personal care. Type B is for seniors who require a higher and more specific level of care. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Decatur

  • Decatur's weather is basically the same as nearby Denton. Summer highs reach 96 degrees Fahrenheit in summer, but lows average 33 degrees Fahrenheit in winter. Cold and dry winter weather can be uncomfortable for seniors with COPD or other respiratory issues, though 38 inches of rain helps to keep the dust down.

  • The cost of living in Decatur, Texas, varies, depending on what's being paid for. Seniors who shop for groceries are likely to pay only 94 percent of the average cost in the United States, though health care services here can be up to 23 percent more expensive than the national average.

  • There's no income tax in Texas, but a sales tax of between 6.25 and 8.25 percent raises the cost of items seniors buy for themselves. Aging citizens who drive pay a 20 cent gas tax on every gallon they buy.

  • Crime is just a bit higher than the national average in Decatur. In most categories, including those that affect seniors most, Decatur isn't far from national rates, though the city is capable of going an entire decade without a single homicide.

  • Public transportation in Decatur, Texas, is in the hands of a joint program run by Transdev and TAPS. This service provides curb-to-curb rides for local seniors, as well as for residents with disabilities and those who need point-to-point trips that can be scheduled in advance. Connections are available for trips into Houston, where public transportation is handled by the Trinity Metro network of buses and light rail.

  • The Decatur area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Wise Health System, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
