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

Mansfield, Texas, is a lakeside community in the sprawling Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, one of the state’s largest urban areas. Mansfield is close enough to Fort Wroth for residents to attend rodeos and events at the stockyards, access world-class medical care and enjoy a wide array of shopping and dining experiences. One in ten of Mansfield’s 73,000 residents are seniors 65 and older, and many in this group may be considering their options for long-term care.

Assisted living communities are group care homes staffed around the clock with professional caregivers trained to lend discreet assistance with personal care and mobility, including lifts. These homes provide apartment-style living, with accommodations designed for the needs of frail seniors, such as wider hallways, safety bars in the bathrooms and emergency call buttons in each private residence. Meals are prepared and served communally, with dietary accommodations for those with special needs. In Mansfield, the average monthly fees for assisted living are $4,400. 

In this guide, we cover elder care and assisted living costs in Mansfield and compare it with other cities, plus list important features in the city for seniors to consider. We also include a list of free local resources for seniors and their families.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Mansfield

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Mansfield

  • Winters in Mansfield are mild, with rare snow and January lows in the mid 30s. Seniors who are especially sensitive to colder temperatures may be more comfortable living here than in other parts of the country. The summers are long and hot, however, with July highs reaching an average of 95 degrees F. Mansfield rates a 7.2 out of 100 in the annual BestPlaces Comfort Index, meaning that it’s more comfortable than many other palaces in Texas. 
  • The cost of living in Mansfield is 11 points higher than the national median of 100. Housing costs are the highest subcategory, 120.6, while health care and grocery costs, important for seniors with limited means, are within one point of the national average. 
  • Texas is fairly tax-friendly for retirees, as it does not levy a state income tax, including monies derived from retirement accounts and investments and Social Security. Seniors also receive a homestead tax exemption and a property tax deferral. 
  • As a suburb of Fort Worth, Mansfield shares the city’s designation as one of the  AARP’s Networks of Age-Friendly Communities. The AARP evaluates cities around the country and notes those with plenty of resources for seniors, from community outreach programs to ease of access to health care, transportation and amenities in the city. 
  • The water quality in Mansfield is excellent, rating 90/100, compared to the U.S. average of 55/100. Air quality, however, is worse than the U.S. average, 48/100 compared to 58/100.
