READ MOREProsper is a pleasant town on the upper edge of the DFW metroplex. It’s home to just over 35,000 people, of which 7.3% are in the 65+ age group — notably below the U.S. average of 16.8%. However, the town has much to offer its seniors. Crime rates are about half the national average, and the local environment is generally healthier than normal. There’s no hospital, but the town’s home to Texas Health Prosper, a health and wellness center with a 24/7 emergency room. The nearest hospital is Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, about 20 minutes east in McKinney. Registered nurses and licensed therapists provide home health care, while caregivers provide nonmedical home care. Prosper’s median monthly fee for either service is $4,767.
Below we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Prosper 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.

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
