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.

The question about money nobody asks early enough

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 participate at all, which converts a funding problem into a forced move at the worst possible moment.

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

What does the Long-Term Care Ombudsman do in Tarrant County?

The Area Agency on Aging of Tarrant County's Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, a United Way of Tarrant County program, investigates and helps resolve complaints on behalf of nursing home and assisted living residents and advocates for their rights. It's free, independent of any facility, and acts only with the resident's consent.

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.
