What to Consider About Assisted Living in Irving
Irving is one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas, situated just outside of Texas' largest city, and already home to over 240,000 people, many of whom work for some of the world's largest corporations. All this bustle supports a town with 24 assisted living communities, where seniors who need help with activities of daily living (ADLs) can get staff assistance with dressing, meal prep and taking some medications. Assisted living facilities (ALFs) in Irving and all of Texas are all regulated for quality of care and living conditions by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services, which conducts inspections and imposes minimum standards for community care. Many ALFs even schedule regular community events, day trips for residents and adult education workshops for their residents.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Irving
-
Irving's weather is a lot like nearby Dallas-Ft. Worth. Summers average 96 degrees Fahrenheit in July and August, while December and January lows average 35 degrees. The whole area gets about 36 inches of rain in a year. Seniors with COPD or asthma should be careful outdoors while springtime allergens and summer dust clouds are up.
- The cost of living in Irving varies between slightly cheaper and considerably more expensive than national averages, depending on what's being measured. Groceries, for example, cost seniors who shop for themselves about 3 percent less in Irving than they pay elsewhere, while aging citizens who cover the cost of their own health care should expect to pay 17 percent more than the national average.
- Texas has no income tax, but seniors who shop may wind up paying a sales tax of between 6.25 and 8.25 percent. There's also a 20 cent per gallon gas tax that affects those aging citizens who still drive for themselves.
-
Crime rates in Irving are a pleasant two-thirds the national median. Serious crimes are even more rare, so seniors here are generally safe during their warm summer evening strolls.
- Public transportation in Irving is provided by the Dallas Area Regional Transit (DART) system. This service runs a very large network of bus and rail routes around the whole Dallas-Ft. Worth area. Vehicles are ADA-compliant, and senior riders can get discount fares with valid transit IDs.
- The Irving area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Irving, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
