Garland, a northeast suburb of Dallas, lands on the Caring Senior Living Report 2022 for the quality and affordability of its senior housing options. Retirement-age adults often choose Texas for its lack of a state-level income tax and its larger-than-average homestead property tax exemptions. Garland residents have access to excellent health care just 20 minutes away in Dallas, which is home to the respected UT Southwestern Medical Center and Baylor University Medical Center. According to data collected by Genworth Financial, the average monthly cost of home care in Garland is $4,862. The price for home health care may be higher, as home health care involves direct assistance from licensed medical professionals.

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.
