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.

They were really good companions for him.
They need to be a little better coordinated. They would sometimes send someone that we had not requested, but other than that, we liked who they sent.

Home Instead is a wonderful group of people- from the owners to the caregivers! They treat every client with care and compassion, like they are their family. They work very hard to accommodate everyone’s needs and unique situations. When the office staff says they will do something, they always do. Everyone is very responsive and punctual. The phone is always answered almost immediately and the supervisors provide their cell phone numbers to families, for anything they need. The caregiver always arrives on time or a few minutes early. A supervisor comes to introduce the caregiver to you for your first day, just to make sure everything is perfect before the supervisor leaves. That’s dedication. This isn’t your everyday brick and mortar business, because to John, Temi, Cayce, Monica, Mary, Eden and the caregivers, this is NOT just a business. It’s their heart. It’s their life, day in and day out, morning or night. Clients’ safety and happiness is their goal 24/7/365. Anyone would be wise to choose this incredible family like team to take care of their own loved one. You will not be let down. Thanks so much, Home Instead Senior Care!!

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.

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.

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.
