What to Consider About Assisted Living in Harris County

The region boasts 152 assisted living facilities to support the senior population which is comprised of roughly 13 percent of the total population of 4,500,000 people. Assisted living facilities in this county, as well as in all of Texas, are licensed through the Texas Department of Health and Human Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Harris County
- Harris County seniors can expect hot summers with highs in the low 90s which may be uncomfortable for those who are sensitive to heat. However, the mild winters make it easy for active older adults to enjoy year-round outdoor activities.
- Seniors on a budget will appreciate Harris County’s low cost of living which is about 8 percent below the national average. In most cities in this county, seniors can expect to spend roughly 16 percent less on groceries as well as about 3 percent less on health-care and transportation expenses.

- Harris County has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Fun4Seniors, an organization that provides social, recreational and educational opportunities for the county's older adults, as well as 13 senior centers.
