What to Consider About Assisted Living in Paris
Like the cities of the same name in Tennessee and France, the city of Paris, TX, has an Eiffel Tower, albeit one that's just 65 feet tall. Like the world's biggest cowboy hat, it's one of the attractions seniors from Paris' two assisted living communities can take family and friends to see on a warm summer afternoon.
In assisted living facilities (ALFs), aging citizens get room and board for a monthly fee, as well as help with activities of daily living, such as dressing and personal care. In Paris, and all of Texas, ALFs are regulated by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services, which also inspects facilities for quality of care and staff training.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Paris
- The weather in Paris, TX, ranges from hot and dry to hot and humid in summer, with average July highs of 97 degrees Fahrenheit. Winter lows average 32 degrees, which can present some issues for seniors with COPD or other breathing trouble. Paris gets about 47 inches of rain a year, a bit more than most of Texas.
- The cost of living in Paris is low by national standards. Seniors who buy their own groceries pay 7 percent less than the national average here, while health care costs are about 3 percent less than the national rate.
- Texas charges no income tax at all, though a sales tax runs between 6.25 and 8.25 percent for most items. The state charges a 20 cent gas tax on each gallon, which raises the cost of driving for seniors who have a car.
-
Crime in Paris is half again as high as the typical national rate. This is mostly property crime, which seniors in assisted living communities have less need to worry about. Violent crime is not significantly higher here than elsewhere in the nation.

West Texas Opportunities, Inc. operates the semi-private TRAX system for public transportation in Paris. This network provides scheduled service to most of the more heavily trafficked areas of town, as well as pre-scheduled non-emergency medical transportation for wheelchair-bound and mobility-challenged riders. Travel planners at assisted living communities can often schedule trips with TRAX days in advance for scheduled medical appointments.
- The Paris area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Paris Regional Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
