The Bedford market specifically

Bedford's location in the Mid-Cities, convenient to both DFW Airport and the Harris Methodist HEB hospital campus, has made it a practical base for families splitting caregiving duties across the wider metro.

Bedford's central Mid-Cities location often comes up as a compromise choice for families where siblings live on opposite ends of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

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

Is the Area Agency on Aging different in Tarrant County than the rest of the metro?

Yes. Tarrant County runs its own dedicated Area Agency on Aging through United Way of Tarrant County, separate from the 16-county North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) region that covers Parker, Johnson, Denton, Wise and the rest of the outlying metro.

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.
