The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Colleyville, TX for 2024

Colleyville is a suburb of Fort Worth, Texas, part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. It’s a smaller community with roots as a “cow town.” Colleyville seniors, about 18% of the community’s 27,000 residents, have access to a high number of Medicaid-registered physicians and the excellent health care the DFW area offers, including Texas Health Fort Worth and Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest Fort Worth. Many of these seniors may be contemplating retirement, seeking accommodations in an assisted living facility or another kind of senior care.

Assisted living communities are long-term care homes for people who are unable to live independently in their own homes or who desire to live in a group setting. These facilities have staff around the clock ready to help with daily tasks, such as getting dressed or helping with mobility. Activity directors plan different events throughout the week, and there are often amenities like a pool, walking trail or cafe for resident use. The average cost for assisted living in Colleyville is $4,400, just a bit higher than the national average of $4,300.

In this guide, we note the cost of assisted living in Colleyville, plus include free resources for seniors and their families.
