The Burleson market specifically

Burleson sits across the Tarrant-Johnson county line, which means its Area Agency on Aging coverage runs through NCTCOG rather than the Tarrant County agency that covers the rest of this metro -- a detail worth knowing before calling for local help.

Burleson families should confirm which Area Agency on Aging applies before calling for help -- it is NCTCOG, not the Tarrant County agency, even though Burleson borders south Fort Worth directly.

Questions families ask

What's the real difference between a nursing home and assisted living in Texas?

Nursing homes are licensed under a separate Texas rule chapter from assisted living and provide 24-hour licensed nursing care for higher medical acuity. Nursing homes also carry federal CMS star ratings through Medicare's Care Compare tool; assisted living facilities are not rated by that system at all.

Should a Fort Worth family consider a CCRC instead of standalone assisted living?

A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) keeps a couple together across changing care levels on one campus, typically through an entry-fee structure. Standalone assisted living is usually simpler to enter and less expensive upfront, without a large entry fee.

What does HHSC license, and what law covers assisted living in Texas?

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Long Term Care Regulatory division licenses assisted living facilities under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 247 and 26 Texas Administrative Code Part 1, Chapter 553. HHSC issues either a Type A or Type B license depending on residents' ability to evacuate in an emergency.

Is memory care a separate license in Texas, or something else?

Texas does not issue a separate 'memory care license.' Any facility that markets or holds itself out as providing dementia care must instead file an Alzheimer's/dementia Disclosure Statement with HHSC under 26 TAC Section 553.264, and make it available to families before admission.
