The Keller market specifically

Keller's senior housing supply has been racing to catch up with a generation of residents who moved in decades ago as young families and are now aging in place rather than relocating.

Families in Keller frequently end up comparing against Southlake and North Richland Hills communities as well, since all three sit within a short drive of one another in northeast Tarrant County.

Before you sign anything

Get the all-in monthly cost in writing at your parent's current assessed care level, ask what triggers the next care level and what it costs, and ask for the rate increase history across the last three years. Communities that will not put these in writing are telling you something.

Ask what happens if private funds run out, and whether the community holds a Medicaid waiver provider agreement. A meaningful share of communities do not, which means a second move at the worst possible time.

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

Are there Medicaid managed care differences between counties in this metro?

STAR+PLUS, the Medicaid managed care program most Fort Worth-area seniors use for long-term-care services, operates statewide including throughout Tarrant, Parker, Johnson, Denton and Wise counties, though specific managed care organization plan options can vary slightly by county.

Does Denton County's senior population differ from Tarrant County's?

Yes -- Denton County's population skews younger overall (roughly 10% age 65+, versus roughly 12% in Tarrant County), reflecting Denton's faster growth from younger families, though its absolute number of seniors is still substantial given its overall size.

Is independent living licensed the same way as assisted living in Texas?

No. Independent living is generally unlicensed housing in Texas because no personal care is provided -- residents are fully able to manage their own daily activities. Assisted living requires an HHSC Type A or Type B license because personal care services are part of what's provided.

How is memory care different from standard assisted living in Fort Worth?

Texas requires any facility marketing memory care to file a specific Alzheimer's/dementia disclosure statement covering staffing, training and physical design -- standard assisted living carries no such requirement. Physically, memory care units typically add secured egress, and there's no published cost median for memory care the way there is for standard assisted living.
