"Tender Care Home for Adults 1 was nice. That's more of a group home setting. The staff seemed very knowledgeable. It's very neat and clean. I liked the fact that they had all the women in one house. It wasn't mixed with male and female. The lady was very nice and was willing to work with my mother if she went back from the hospital. It's a three- or four-bedroom house. It's pretty large with a nice-sized backyard, and they have a nice sitting area. She had it pretty well upgraded."

"I toured Brookdale Pecan Park. It was a larger unit and it had three separate buildings. One was for memory care, one for assisted living where they needed assistance with everything, and the third building was for people that had just moved in so they had some assistance but they didn't necessarily need it, they still drove. Brookdale was larger and had a dining room for each building. Their physical therapy area was much larger. They had more area for them to do and they had the same plan with the meals. If you don't like the main one, there was always a menu, the day before you just circle what you wanted when you came to the dining hall. You tell them, today I wanted a cheeseburger and French fries and they brought it to your table. Angel was one of the staff that led us around on the tour. Angel was exceptional. They have a promotion going on this month. It's not for a one-month thing. It's for the duration of his stay there. It's a percentage off. She was also very knowledgeable about the VA information. I toured before I took my mom back a second time and Juan was the one who took us through. He was pretty knowledgeable and very pleasant, informed us of a few things that Angel did not talk about, the outings where they load them up in the buses once or twice a month, and then go to Walmart to go shopping. They vote every week on what they would like to do, whether they want to go to the zoo or Walmart, or they want to eat dinner at a restaurant, and then whatever the most popular is they'll try to accommodate as long as the weather agrees."

"My mother-in-law moved into Carver Heights Estates Senior Living. It was a very clean, beautiful atmosphere. They had the room she wanted, which she wanted, a separation of bedroom and living area, and they were able to provide that. The staff seemed very nice and accommodating to all of her needs. I have not tried the food, but she hasn't had many complaints about it. They have activities all the time. She has participated in some. As for the value, it's a fair price."

The lady that I had dealt with was excellent at explaining everything and showing me how everything worked in the facility. She showed me two different rooms. One was an efficiency that didn't really have a lot of stuff in there."

"My mom moved to Morada Lake Arlington, and the big deciding factor was that I have a special needs brother, and he was able to find a place there with her as well. They were able to get a two-bedroom unit within the facility. All of their activities and the super welcoming environment have been great and accommodating for both my mom and brother. They have everything they both need, which makes things extra great because he's not a senior citizen. So, him being able to still reside with her and have a lot of engaging activities and stuff going on was a big selling point. My mom and brother say the food is fantastic."

"The tour here was very nice. They have very nice rooms. I was really hoping that the actual apartment had an outside door that went to a courtyard or something, but they don't have that. But they had a lot of outside areas where you could go out. The staff was very good. The facility was very clean. When we went in they had some water damage, but they were redoing the floor. It's a little hard to tell people how to get there because it's off Interstate 20. They offer three meals a day and snacks."

"We've looked into Mayberry Gardens, Grand Prairie's assisted living. The tour was very good, and I liked it a lot. I like the facility and the people there. They have four buildings on the same level and it's a very nice facility, but my parents are not interested at this time. They also have memory care there; if the need for care progresses, they could change it. I thought it was excellent. I thought the facilities were clean, nicely organized, and had good people running them. I was very impressed with the buildings, but it was mostly the people and how professional they were. They seemed very good. The rooms are good. We were looking at 1-bedroom apartments with a living room. They're small, but you have to look at the living facility that they're in. You have to look outside the room, and they have other rooms where the residents meet with people from all around. They have recreational areas, a barber shop, and a salon. There was a lady there that's been cutting hair and doing men's hair for years, and it looked very nice. They also have activities that they schedule all the time. We met a lady there, her husband's gone now, and she's like 95 years old. She was so ecstatic and showed us her room and how she decorated it. She's happy there. She's got a daughter who lives close by. For a 95-year-old, she was still very energetic, and she didn't have anything bad to say about this facility. She's one of the original people who has been there since day one. She loves it, and her apartment is set up like her house. I wish I could remember the name of the person who gave us the tour because she was great. There's also a young lady whom we talked to about finances. They had an opening for a larger room, but we were thinking we had to talk to mom and dad first, and they held it for us with no money down for a couple of days. They worked with us so well, it was nice. All of the staff members there were outstanding. They are all on top of it. We checked the dining area, but we didn't try the food at that time. For each building, they have their own managers, cooks, and facility people. They all seemed to be very knowledgeable and very professional, and it was a very clean facility. You walk out of your apartment, and you go out into the living area and the kitchen, and everything's there. If the residents wanted a cup of coffee or a cup of tea, it's all provided right there. They take care of all the medicines, too, so your parents can rely on them in giving their medications and everything, which is nice."

"We visited Brookdale Mansfield. It's a smaller community and there are only 37 rooms. It's very secure. It had activities. They had a small formal dining room where all the residents ate and it had a large room for activities with big-screen TVs. She told us that men who lived there during baseball season gathered in the community room. They watch it, make popcorn and hotdogs, and just make it like they were at the game. Gracie, the executive director, is the one who showed us around. She's very knowledgeable about VA benefits. They were offering a promotion. She made sure she brought up the promotion where we could save $1,000 a month and it's not for one month, it's for the duration of the stay."

"It had all three levels of care, but I visited the independent living. They told me that it was only built five years ago. It was good, but the rooms were probably average. I saw the dining area. They had three meals a day and there was a snack area where you could pick up snacks any time of the day. For the size of the facility, the dining area seemed to be small, but they told me that if you would go for independent living, you can eat in the assisted living dining room as well. I met one staff member, and she was friendly. She knew what she was talking about. It looked like an apartment building. It's four stories. It seemed to be clean."

"I toured Cedar Bluff Assisted Living and Memory Care. I met several of the staff, and they were very helpful and very inviting. When you first walk into their community, they have a very warm and inviting entrance, and the feel of it is very, very nice. It's a beautiful place, and walking through it, there are so many different things that I know my parents would be able to take advantage of like meeting others and having things to do to keep them busy and things like that. They had a very nice variety on the menu. The living spaces were very nice, too. They're going to be smaller than what they're used to, but they would be sufficient for a couple. Because it would be for my parents, the unit would probably be a deluxe model with a kitchenette. It would be very helpful because they can still have their own snacks, and if they want to have lunch there, they can provide for themselves and still feel like they're in their own place doing their own thing. The cleanliness and condition of the place was awesome. They were very clean, very bright, very open, very spacious as far as the hallways and elevators and things like that. It was very easy to move around in. From everything I saw, it was very nice, very clean and neat."

When trying to decide how to pay for assisted living, one of the first questions that comes up is "How much does it cost?" With the impact of inflation, it's more important than ever to have up-to-date information when making a financial plan for senior living. To help shed light on real senior living prices, Caring.com has compiled proprietary cost data from its network of more than 75,000 senior living providers to provide insight into the average cost of assisted living in Arlington and 134 other cities in Texas.
Low-income seniors in Arlington have access to three programs that can help cover the cost of assisted living: Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income and Texas Community Care for Aged/Disabled.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on ourAssisted Living in Texas page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:

As a result of inflation, the cost of senior care has been on the rise in Arlington. In 2022, seniors paid an average of $2,934 for assisted living. However, that number has increased by more than 9% to $3,214 in 2023 and projected to go up another 7.4% to $3,461 in 2024. As both statewide ($3,312) and national rates ($4,459) have also been impacted by inflation, in 2023, Arlington remains a less costly option, comparatively. Arlington is $175 less expensive than nearby Dallas and around $660 more affordable than Houston.

There are different costs associated with various types of senior living. While the cost of assisted living ($3,214) includes personal care and daily assistance, independent living is designed for seniors who can manage their own care needs. Therefore, rates are lower ($2,478). Memory care, on the other hand, offers more specialized care and programming, which results in rates that are around 16% higher than assisted living costs.
