READ MOREDallas ranked second to Denton, a pseudo-suburb, on Caring’s 2022 Senior Living Report. This report ranks cities statewide based on the overall quality of life they offer seniors when factoring in 46 key issues. Dallas stood out for its lower housing costs, availability of subsidized housing and better air quality. Older adults in Dallas opting to age in place pay an average of $4,862 for home care services, per Genworth’s 2021 Cost of Care Survey — less than the national average. Home care provides personal care services, not medical services like home health care. However, seniors have access to nationally ranked hospitals like UT Southwestern Medical Center and Baylor University Medical Center to meet their medical needs.
Below we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Dallas area – complete with services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled resources to help seniors and their families to access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

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.
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.
