We do not currently list a verified provider of this type anywhere in the region. An advisor can still tell you what is available — call and we will just tell you.

The Arlington market specifically

Arlington's senior communities cluster along the Highway 287 corridor and sit roughly equidistant between the Fort Worth and Dallas medical systems, which gives families here a genuinely wider choice of hospital networks than most Tarrant County suburbs.

Arlington's central position means it is often the practical meeting point for adult children who live on opposite sides of the metro and need a location that works for everyone's visiting schedule.

What the contract does that the tour does not

The residency agreement decides what happens when things change: how care levels are reassessed and repriced, how much notice is required on either side, what the deposit covers and whether it is refundable.

Ask for a blank copy to take home before you are asked to sign anything.

You can check any facility's record free. Call HHSC's Complaint and Incident Intake line at 1-800-458-9858 for any Texas facility's complaint and inspection history. Assisted living is not CMS star-rated -- only nursing homes are. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

How much does in-home care cost in Tarrant County?

The 2024 CareScout survey puts Texas's home health aide median at roughly $28/hour, which works out to about $4,850 a month at 40 hours a week. Non-medical home care (companionship, help with daily tasks) and skilled home health are priced and covered differently, so confirm which you're actually being quoted.

What does a nursing home cost in the Fort Worth area?

The 2024 CareScout Cost of Care Survey puts Texas's median private nursing home room at $7,087 a month statewide. No Fort Worth-specific figure is separately published, and semi-private room pricing (often lower, and often Medicaid-weighted) was not broken out in the most recent survey.

How do families in Fort Worth actually pay when private funds run out?

Options generally include transitioning to the STAR+PLUS HCBS waiver if the community holds a provider agreement, moving to Medicaid-covered nursing facility care, or relocating to a different community that accepts STAR+PLUS HCBS -- ask about this before moving in, not after funds run low.

What does the Long-Term Care Ombudsman do in Tarrant County?

The Area Agency on Aging of Tarrant County's Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, a United Way of Tarrant County program, investigates and helps resolve complaints on behalf of nursing home and assisted living residents and advocates for their rights. It's free, independent of any facility, and acts only with the resident's consent.
