What to Consider About Assisted Living in Dallas
Dallas, located in northeast Texas, is home to the largest urban arts district in the United States, five professional sports teams, over 200 golf courses, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden — and countless more attractions, all of which may be of interest to the 105,943 seniors living in the city. For seniors who require help with tasks they can no longer do independently, Dallas has 68 assisted living facilities.
In Dallas and Texas in general, the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) regulates assisted living communities.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Dallas
- Seniors in Dallas with Medicaid coverage can receive free transportation from organizations such as Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). These services include transportation to medical centers, drug stores, senior centers or any locations offering Medicaid services. Transportation for grocery shopping is also available from some organizations.
- Dallas is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
- The Dallas area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Medical City Dallas Hospital and Dallas Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- The crime rates in Dallas are quite high with violent crime rates of 37 and property crime rates of 50.7, both considerably higher than the national averages of 22.7 and 35.4, respectively. Families might want to ask facility staff about security measures in place to protect residents from crime.
- Dallas can get quite hot and humid in summer, although winters are relatively mild. The highest average temperature in July is 95 degrees and the lowest average in January is 30 degrees. Seniors with breathing issues might have difficulty during the humid summer months.
- Dallas has a high cost of living, which might make things difficult for seniors with tight budgets. The cost of living in the area is 107.7, seven points higher than the U.S. average of 100. Although groceries and healthcare expenses both rank lower than the average at 92.9 and 95, respectively, transportation ranks higher than the average at 139.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Dallas
