READ MOREBurleson, Texas, is part of the greater Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, located just outside of Fort Worth. It’s a family-friendly community with a history as a “cow town,” and it’s close enough to the Fort Worth stockyards for residents to attend different events throughout the year there. As part of one of the largest urban areas in the state, Burleson affords residents ready access to several comprehensive medical centers, an international airport, and plenty of entertainment destinations, from the Dallas Zoo to the Perot Museum of Science and Nature.
Burleson’s senior citizens number about one in eight of the city’s 48,000 residents, and many of these individuals may be contemplating their long-term care options. Assisted living communities are an ideal place for people who need a little extra help with daily life and may be unable to live independently in their own homes. They typically provide a private residence, nutritious meals and different activities on premises, as well as some transportation and a nurse on staff.
This guide provides an overview of assisted living in Burleson, which averages $4,400 per month, plus some benefits and drawbacks of living here. We also include free resources for seniors and their families to enhance their quality of life.

Assisted living isn’t the only type of elder care choice seniors in Burleson have. People who only need care and supervision on the weekdays may opt for adult day health care, which offers many of the same services as assisted living. People who have chronic medical conditions or need significant assistance may be best served by accommodations in a nursing home, which averages $5,171 for a semiprivate room and $6,692 for a private one. Homemakers and home health care services, both of which average $4,385 per month, help seniors aging in place at home maintain their independence.
