What to Consider About Assisted Living in North Richland Hills

In communities throughout Texas, including North Richland Hills, assisted living facilities are licensed and regulated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS). Before receiving a license to operate, facilities must pass both an on-site life safety code inspection and a health inspection. Facilities are required to apply for a license renewal every two years.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in North Richland Hills

  • North Richland Hills is known for being a safe, family-friendly community. The city sees low rates of violent crime compared to the average American city. It earns a crime index rating of 16.7 out of 100, compared to the national average of 22.7. While property crime rates are a bit higher (33.1), seniors and families can have peace of mind knowing that assisted living facilities are equipped with security features such as 24-hour surveillance and secured entrances.
  • The cost of living in North Richland Hills receives an index rating of 105, which is higher than both the Texas state median (94.2) and the U.S. average (100). While housing and transportation costs are high, seniors can benefit from slightly more affordable grocery and health care costs than in other Texas cities.
  • Low tax rates may help offset the city’s above-average living costs. As Texas has no state income tax, seniors can retain all income generated from Social Security retirement benefits, pensions and any retirement accounts.
  • While public transportation services are limited in North Richland Hills, several organizations offer transportation for seniors. The Northeast Transportation Service (NETS) offers a weekday, door-to-door transportation service for seniors 65 and older. Additionally, North Richland Hills operates an STS Social Transportation for Seniors service, which provides free rides to social destinations within the city for individuals aged 65 and older.
  • North Richland Hills is a great destination for seniors looking to escape cold, snowy winter weather. The city only receives about an inch of snowfall each year, and temperatures rarely fall below 35 degrees. However, summers can be very hot and humid, so seniors should be mindful of the time they spend outdoors on warmer days.
  • Tarrant County receives an F-grade from the American Lung Association in terms of the high ozone days it sees each year. Fortunately, the region receives a passing grade for its levels of annual particle pollution.
  • Seniors’ health needs can be met by the experienced team of professionals at Medical City North Hills. The award-winning hospital is known for specialties such as cardiology, stroke care and rehabilitation.
