To help with enforcement, it delegates some work to the relevant Area Agency on Aging, which for Deer Park is Harris County.
Assisted living costs can change from city to city, so it’s worth comparing them if families aren’t rooted to a specific location. It’s also worth comparing costs for other types of senior care if an alternative to assisted living is possible.

Beaumont and Austin are more affordable, with costs of $3,590 and $4,250, respectively. However, in College Station, it’s common to pay $5,355, while in Victoria, costs are higher, at $5,525.
