Frisco is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area and one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation. The population in 2020 was 200,509, a 71.4% increase from the 2019 population of 116,989. Seniors 60 and older account for 12% of Frisco’s population and have many options to enjoy the city’s year-round activities and warm climate.
Most seniors prefer to remain living at home as long as they can. However, when they need help with daily living needs, housekeeping and transportation, assisted living communities offer these services in a homey environment. Assisted living is an appropriate option when the higher-level medical care of a nursing home is not needed. Seniors in Frisco pay an average monthly amount of $4,195 for assisted living, which is $197 higher than the Texas average of $3,998.
If you are considering an assisted living community in Frisco, this guide provides information, costs and the benefits and downside to living in the city. A listing of free resources for seniors in Frisco is also included.
