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 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.
