Arlington is a vibrant Texas community that comes in 114th on the 2022 Caring Senior Living Report. The city offers convenience for older adults, with nearly three-quarters of homes featuring zero-point entry and over 70% of public transportation stations and vehicles offering ADA accessibility. Low home vacancy rates indicate a strong local economy, and housing costs are lower than the national average, which may make the city financially feasible for those with fixed incomes. Local home care rates are below the national median at $4,862 per month. This type of care includes non-medical services for seniors who are largely independent. Home health care may be a better option for those who need skilled nursing services.

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
While paid home care services are a good option for older adults who want to remain in their homes, there are many affordable alternatives through community-based initiatives.
