How we source

Every regulatory statement on this site links to the underlying state rule, regulator program page or federal source. Cost data comes from the published CareScout Cost of Care Survey tables. Population figures come from U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts.

What we will not publish

  • Untraceable figures. If we cannot find a primary source, we say the number is unavailable rather than repeating what other sites say.
  • Unverified facility details. We publish a community's name, address and care type only when confirmed against the operator's own published information. We do not publish bed counts, license numbers, pricing or star ratings we could not verify.
  • Invented reviews or rankings. We do not rank communities, and we do not publish testimonials we cannot attribute.

Known limitations, stated openly

  • There is no published median price for memory care anywhere. We do not estimate one.
  • CareScout does not publish metro-specific cost tables. We cite state medians and say local pricing likely varies, without inventing a local figure.
  • Our facility listings are smaller than aggregator directories because our verification standard excludes providers we could not confirm.

Corrections

If you find something wrong — particularly about your own community — email advisors@fortworthsenioradvisor.com and we will correct or remove it. Facility operators may request corrections to their listing at any time.

Questions families ask

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.

How do I check a Fort Worth-area facility's inspection history myself?

HHSC's Long Term Care Regulatory division maintains survey and enforcement records for every licensed Texas assisted living facility. You can also call HHSC's Complaint and Incident Intake line at 1-800-458-9858, 24 hours a day, to ask about a specific facility's complaint or inspection history.

What's the difference between a Type A and Type B assisted living license in Fort Worth?

Type A facilities serve residents capable of following directions to evacuate on their own and who don't need routine overnight attendance. Type B facilities serve residents who need staff help to evacuate, can't follow emergency directions independently, or need nighttime staff attendance -- most memory care in the metro falls under Type B.
