The sprawling city of Dallas, Texas, is one half of the DFW Metroplex, one of the largest cities in the state. The area is rich in culture, such as the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza and the Dallas Museum of Art. The warm weather and mild winters make the area attractive for seniors to retire, and the city has an abundance of elderly people — about one in ten Dallas residents are aged 65 or older.
Seniors who enjoy spending time outdoors will have most of the year to do so. There’s plenty of wildlife to observe and easy walking trails at the Oak Cliff Nature Preserve, and for those who enjoy golfing, the Stevens Park Golf Course has a challenging course.
Many Dallas seniors choose to age in place, remaining in their homes and communities. There are many quality care services in the city, with both home health care aides and homemaker assistance to help seniors retain their independence. The average hourly cost for home health care is $21.19, while homemaker services average $21 per hour, according to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2018, and these averages are close to the rest of the country, at $22 and $21, respectively. Seniors in Dallas can expect to pay an average of $4,000 per month for these services.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Dallas area – complete with types of care provided, services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled a list of resources to help seniors and their families access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

My sister seems pleased. The caregivers get her up and walking around the facility; this keeps her mobile. They also help her bathe.
They have communicated well with me.

My mother used Home Instead’s services for four years, from January 2018 through her passing in December 2021. The secret to the success of Home Instead in our experience was two-fold: 1) the careful selection of a caregiver to match my mother’s needs and personality, and 2) the ability to expand services as her needs grew. On the first point, Home Instead hit a grand slam in proposing a wonderful woman–B.B.–with a great sense of humor who developed a deep and caring relationship with my mother and indeed with my siblings and me. At first our mother argued that she didn’t need any home support–so we convinced her to give the service a try for two four-hour shifts a week, so that if and when she did truly need this support she would have already established a relationship with a caregiver and a caregiver service. She agreed to give them a try, and it wasn’t long before she saw that the BB’s support was truly value-added, in terms not only of how well they got along, joking and appreciating each other’s sense of humor, but also in terms of the home grooming tasks (cutting her nails, doing laundry), light housekeeping, and grocery shopping that BB provided, as well as driving her to appointments and just providing daily companionship. We soon increased the service to three days a week and finally to five days a week. We were so fortunate that BB served as her caregiver for four years, allowing my mother to live independently in her own home, protecting her from the risks of COVID and gradually increasing her level of support to meet my mother’s growing needs. I can honestly give my highest recommendation to the Central Dallas Home Instead franchise. We are so grateful to them for the wonderful service they provided to my mother.

They simply came to our rescue after struggling to car for our parents on our own and after a bad experience with another free lance care giver.
Honestly, Home Instead made the process of getting started as clients so simple. Immediately put at ease by the process, the consultants professionalism, and the owner who also met with us. I had a great feeling about them front the beginning and after a month of them caring for my parents 11 hours a day, 7 days a week, I know my initial gut feeling was 100% accurate.
The agency is very responsive to our needs and requests as are the caregivers. I enjoy hearing my parents talk with them as they forge personal relationships. Who doesn’t want genuinely kind people with their parents all day?
They tend not only to my parent’s personal needs(bathing, dressing, medication reminders, assist in daily exercises, etc.) but they cook 3 meal a day, do laundry daily, and some light cleaning as needed. They are open to whatever we ask of them.
What I really appreciate is their initiative. If they notice something that needs to be done, they do it. If a light bulb is out, they find out where the extras are kept and they replace the bulb.
My entire family agrees that hiring Home Instead is the closest thing we can get to the care giving we would give ourselves. We are so grateful for their help.

Dallas Home Care Resources
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Dallas:
Address: 2377 N. Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, TX 75207
Phone: (214) 819-2000
Low-income households may be eligible for the weatherization assistance program, facilitated by the Dallas County Health and Human Services department. This is an income-based program with consideration given first to the elderly and disabled. Each home is inspected, and custom repairs are planned to help improve energy efficiency and reduce the high costs of utilities. Services include repairing or replacing doors and windows, weather stripping, caulking and insulation, repairing duct work and replacing or repairing air conditioning units or furnaces.
Address: 8787 N. Stemmons Freeway, Suite 800, Dallas, Texas 75247
Phone: (214) 424-7000
There are several branches of the Salvation Army in the DFW area. Services for senior citizens include weekly fellowship programs to encourage socialization and help reduce the isolation many seniors experience. Many community centers have classes and hobby groups for seniors during the weekday, such as fitness classes, crafting or sing-alongs. Volunteer opportunities are available for those who have a heart to serve, such as bell ringing during the holidays or visiting nursing homes. Many Salvation Army centers also have caseworkers on-site to help the elderly apply for benefits and medical care.
Address: 3677 Mapleshade Ln., Plano, TX 75075
Phone: (214) 330-1396
Elderly Dallas residents who meet certain income guidelines may be eligible for food assistance through the North Texas Food Bank. It’s funded through the state’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP or food stamps. The program provides packages of food to those in need on a monthly basis, in addition to whatever benefits they may receive through SNAP. Food items include cheese, fruit and vegetables, peanut butter, cereal, pasta and canned meats.
Address: 1304 S. Hampton Rd., Dallas, TX 75208
Phone: (214) 330-8710
This is a faith-based community outreach program that offers respite care and support for caregivers in the Dallas area. Local volunteers provide homemaker assistance, such as bathing, grooming and mobility help for the elderly. It’s a program intended to help families delay putting their loved ones in a nursing home, but there’s no medical care provided. Transportation is also available as needed.
Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
