What to Consider About Assisted Living in Southlake

The Texas Health and Human Services department regulates the state’s assisted living facilities. Each community must be licensed and is regularly inspected to ensure it maintains the highest quality of care. This process enforces standards for staff training and ensures facilities maintain a clean, safe environment. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Southlake

  • Southlake is home to two major hospitals, so seniors have adequate access to health care. The Methodist Southlake Medical Center provides emergency and primary care as well as surgery, orthopedics and pain management. Texas Health Southlake offers primary and emergency services and adds specialties such as cardiology, neurology and physical therapy.
  • Residents of Southlake may appreciate the city’s below-average health care costs, which come in at 96.8 on a 100-point health cost index. This means that people in Southlake may pay about 3.2% less for health care than other U.S. residents. These savings can add up over time.
  • The overall cost of living in Southlake is high, at 172 compared to the U.S. average of 100. While this might be a concern for seniors on a fixed income, assistance is available through the Health and Human Services department, the Area Agencies on Aging and the Aging & Disability Resource Center.
  • Since Texas doesn't have an income tax, it's tax-friendly for seniors, who won't have to pay state taxes on their Social Security or retirement income.
  • Southlake’s crime rates are well below average. The violent crime rate stands at 7.1, which is much lower than the national average of 22.7. Property crime is also low, with an average of 22.3 compared to 35.4 throughout the country. Assisted living communities add another level of security thanks to 24/7 staffing and emergency call systems.
  • The climate in Southlake is mixed. Summers are quite hot, with July highs reaching up to about 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Winters are comfortable, with January lows generally remaining above freezing and very little snowfall in the city. Seniors in assisted living communities need not worry about traveling in cold weather because many services are available on-site.
