Assisted Living Facilities Near Rockwall, TX
Rockwall is a suburb to the east of Dallas, a waterside town on the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard. It’s close enough for residents to attend events in Dallas or access specialty healthcare services, yet far enough to retain its family-oriented feel. The population of Rockwall is 47,000, 13% of whom are seniors 65 and older. Many of these seniors may be considering their long-term care options, including residing in an assisted living home.
Assisted living communities, which average $4,400 per month in Rockwall, are apartment-style living for seniors who need a little extra help with tasks of daily life and aren’t fully able to live independently at home. Personal care attendants offer discreet help with personal grooming, including toileting, bathing and mobility assistance, including lifts and transfers. These communities typically provide nutritious meals and light housekeeping services. Different group activities throughout the week help seniors meet new friends and keep their days full.
This guide provides more information about assisted living and other long-term care costs, plus a list of free resources for seniors and their families. We also take a closer look at some of the benefits and drawbacks of living in Rockwall.

Lakeshore Assisted Living and Memory Care is very nice and very clean, but I found it too expensive for us. I found the staff very friendly, and they interacted with the residents. Everybody seemed upbeat, comfortable, and relaxed. The director told us that there was one resident that had been there for 12 years, so evidently it’s good. We went over everthing and kind of looked around. I saw the dining room, and it was clean, the grounds looked kept up, so I was impressed with the facility itself. Just from my observation, the staff was really friendly.

My husband and I were recently thrown into one of the biggest challenges of our life’s. A challenge we had zero knowledge of how to navigate and a challenge only the two of us could help solve. My Mother-in-law’s dementia and a recent fall left her incapable of caring for herself.
We have 5 kids with our youngest being 10 and 3 others in college that require our financial support. We weren’t prepared to bring another human into our already busting-at-the-seams household however, when a loved one is in need you do what you have to do.
She was living a state away and slowly deteriorating from the isolation of quarantine that COVID requires. We went to get her and moved her in with us. We discussed options (her staying with us was one) but she thought it best to find an assisted living home as she didn’t want to be a "burden".
Cut to many phone calls and tours leaving us uneasy/unhappy, I came across what felt too good to be true. All inclusive pricing with no surprises. Home-cooked meals 3x a day. Homes that… well, look like homes!!
So I called Mustang Creek Estates in Sachse. From the first interaction with Mary I knew this was the right place. Her warmth and helpfulness (no matter the hour) didn’t go unnoticed.
We toured. It was perfect. With private rooms that include attached private bathrooms, bright windows and individual ac units. A staff that is SO HELPFUL that they clean, cook, do laundry, shower and help dress if needed. Leave the room to the expansive hallway that leads you to the comfy living room where the residents actually sit a hang out! A beautiful, open concept kitchen and 2 large dining tables for all residences to dine together, if they so choose.
She had to have a consultation to determine level of care and in under weeks (2 weeks!) We had her room ready and moved her in.
She then and still says "This is my home!" She loves it. She loves the staff of caretakers her visiting nurses and therapists, the event and housing director and they love her.
We feel just as welcome when we visit (and we visit a LOT) Kendra, Brittany and Deborah are so loving, welcoming and are clearly in the field that they were called to do. I have April, the director, on speed dial and I call/text with questions at all times of the day/night and she always responds, never sounding "put out". I will always consider her a friend. She LOVES her residents and it shows (and they know it).
I never knew a place like this existed. This is not a nursing home. This is a home for your loved one to thrive with the respect and freedom to choose, exactly as someone who has lived a long life should expect and with the respect and dignity they deserve!
I can’t say enough about Mustang Creek Estates and frankly, I can’t imagine a future where these amazing people aren’t in our life’s.
Thank you. THANK YOU! Much love.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Rockwall
The Texas Department of Health and Human Services licenses and regulates Rockwall assisted living facilities for sanitation and accessibility for residents. Agents of the HHS also monitor the training and certification of the staff employed therein. Each facility must undergo regular inspections to keep its licensure, and the HHS addresses complaints filed against licensed facilities.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Rockwall
- Seniors who have health conditions aggravated by colder temperatures may enjoy living in Rockwall, an area with long, hot summers and July high temperatures of 94 and 236 days of sunshine each year. Winters are mild, with little snow and January lows of about 34 degrees.
- Seniors with limited means and those depending mostly on retirement savings benefit from the lack of state income tax in Texas, including the income derived from Social Security income, pensions and retirement income. Residents 65 and older are also eligible for a property tax deferral and homestead tax exemption.
- In addition to tax friendliness, budget-conscious seniors may also appreciate Rockwall’s cost of living, 112.8, which is just a bit higher than the national median of 100. Healthcare is the lowest category, which may help many elderly residents.
- As part of the Dallas metro area, Rockwall is included in its designation as a member of the AARP’s Network of Age-Friendly Communities. This is a list of cities across the nation deemed senior-friendly, based on access to resources and amenities, plus safety and cost of living.
- Seniors have plenty of choices when it comes to medical treatment in Rockwall at comprehensive medical campuses such as Texas Health Presbyterian Medical Centers and the Baylor, Scott, and White hospitals and medical systems, as well as 210 physicians per 100,000 residents.
- Crime rates in Rockwall are quite low. Property crime rates are 28, compared to the U.S. average of 35.4, while violent crimes are just 10.2, less than half the national average of 22.7.
- Seniors in Rockwall have ready access to excellent public transportation, the Dallas Area Regional Transportation (DART) system. This is a fixed-route bus and light rail system that travels all over the metroplex, with wheelchair access, plus a ride-on-Demand, paratransit and shuttle van service for those unable to use the standard DART lines. Seniors may apply for a pass on the shuttles and reduced passes on the regular DART.
Paying for Assisted Living in Rockwall
According to the Genworth Financial Cost of Care Survey 2020, monthly assisted living fees in Rockwall average $4,400. This is a few hundred dollars more than the state of Texas, $3,998, and a bit more than the national average, $4,300.
The Cost of Nursing Home Care in Nearby Cities
Compared to the nearby cities of Sherman, Tyler and Waco, Rockwall is significantly more per month for assisted living. These three towns average $3,400, $3,450 and $3,763, respectively. Austin, one of the largest metro areas in the state, is closer to Rockwall’s monthly average, $4,250.
The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
Assisted living isn’t the only option for seniors in Rockwall. Those who need a higher level of care and have ongoing medical needs receive the care they need in a nursing home. A semiprivate room averages $5,171 per month in Rockwall, while a private one averages $6,692. Seniors who only need care during the weekdays may opt to attend adult day health care, which offers many of the amenities of assisted living and averages just $1,571 per month. Home health care and homemaker services, which cost $4,385 per month, give seniors aging in place at home help with chores, companionship and light medical care.
Note: Data for Rockwall was unavailable, so data for the nearest city, Dallas, was used instead.
Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Rockwall
The Texas Department of Health and Human Services can help seniors find assisted living homes in Rockwall, Texas, within their budget and that provide the level of care they require. Those with Medicaid, Medicare or SSI income, may be eligible for assisted living financing. The STAR+PLUS serves specific areas of the state, providing an alternative to nursing facility placement and also covers the cost of assisted living.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Texas page.
More Ways to Pay for Assisted Living

- Veterans Benefits
- Life Insurance Policy
- Long-Term Care Insurance
- Reverse Mortgage
For more information about different ways to finance assisted living, visit our Assisted Living in Texas page.
Free Assisted Living Resources in Rockwall
