Lewisville is a Dallas suburb with almost 112,000 residents, 8.3% of whom are aged 65+. The city is known for its vibrant arts and culture scene, many historical sites and outdoor attractions, such as Lewisville Lake and the LLELA Nature Preserve. Older residents aren’t far from excellent hospitals, such as Medical City Lewisville, which is rated high-performing in four procedures by U.S. News and World Report. They’re also about 40 minutes from the many highly regarded hospitals in Dallas and Fort Worth. Home care agencies abound too, typically charging about $4,862 per month for non-medical care. Home care shouldn’t be confused with home health care, a medical service provided by licensed professionals.

Although home care and home health care share the same median monthly fee of $4,862, the two services can’t be compared, because one is non-medical and the other medical. Home care also can’t be compared to Lewisville’s nursing home care facilities, which typically charge $5,627 for semiprivate rooms, as they deliver near-hospital levels of medical care. Home care can be compared with adult day care, which costs around $1,517 but isn’t suitable for homebound seniors. Assisted living is comparable too, charging fees of around $4,195, which may attract seniors prepared to reside in an institution.
