What to watch for with independent living in Fort Worth

  • Independent living is typically not licensed as a care facility, because no personal care is provided. Confirm for your state.
  • Several campuses combine independent living with assisted living or nursing on the same campus, so a resident can move between levels without leaving the community.
  • If help with daily activities is already needed, independent living is the wrong category, even when a community offers to arrange outside caregivers.

The Fort Worth market specifically

As the metro's hub, Fort Worth has the widest range of senior housing stock of any city here, from decades-old communities near the medical district around Harris Methodist and JPS to brand-new construction in far north Alliance and far south Chisholm Trail.

Families comparing Fort Worth communities should decide early whether proximity to the medical district or proximity to a specific family member's home matters more, since the city's senior housing spans nearly 20 miles from near-west to far-north.

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

Where can family caregivers in Fort Worth get free support?

The Area Agency on Aging of Tarrant County offers caregiver support programs and care coordination at no cost. The Alzheimer's Association's North Central Texas Chapter helpline (800-272-3900) is also free and available 24/7 for dementia-specific caregiver questions.

What happens at an ombudsman-attended care conference?

An ombudsman advocate can sit in alongside the resident and family during a facility care plan meeting, help the family understand what's being proposed, and advocate for the resident's stated preferences if there's a disagreement with the facility's plan.

How do I report suspected abuse or neglect in a Fort Worth-area facility?

Call the Texas Abuse Hotline at 1-800-252-5400, available 24 hours a day statewide, to report suspected abuse, neglect or exploitation of an older adult. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 first.

What's the difference between reporting to APS and reporting to HHSC in Texas?

Adult Protective Services (1-800-252-5400) investigates concerns about a specific person's safety, including self-neglect. HHSC's Complaint and Incident Intake line (1-800-458-9858) investigates a licensed facility's regulatory compliance -- staffing, physical conditions, and whether the facility followed required procedures.
