Seniors have plenty of options for assisted living in Murphy, as there are 61 assisted living facilities in the area. Help with daily living needs is provided, along with meals and around the clock supervision where needed. The licensing of Texas assisted living facilities is determined by the Department of Health and Human Services, which classifies these facilities into two tiers based on resident needs. Type A facilities house those who are able to follow directions in an emergency; Type B facilities are for seniors who require staff assistance to evacuate and are not capable of following directions during an emergency.
