HomeServicesAssisted Living

Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. Texas licenses assisted living as Type A (residents who can self-evacuate, no routine nighttime attendance) or Type B (residents who need evacuation assistance or nighttime attendance).

Three things worth knowing first

  • Ask which services are included in the base rate versus billed as a separate care level.
  • Ask whether the community holds a STAR+PLUS HCBS provider agreement and how many current residents actually use it.
  • Ask what happens if your parent's needs exceed the community's Type A/Type B license limits.

Questions families ask

Can the ombudsman help if I disagree with how a Fort Worth facility handled my parent's care?

Yes, that is exactly the kind of situation the ombudsman program exists for. Contact the Area Agency on Aging of Tarrant County's ombudsman program at 817-258-8000, describe the situation, and a trained advocate -- often a volunteer -- will work with your family and the resident.

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.
