Assisted Living in your area

Help with daily activities in a Texas HHSC-licensed community (Type A or Type B), with meals, housekeeping and medication assistance included.

Quick answer

Texas HHSC regulates assisted living under Health and Safety Code Chapter 247 (assisted living) or Chapter 242 (nursing homes).

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

Does Medicare cover a rehab stay after a Fort Worth hospital admission?

Medicare covers a limited skilled nursing facility stay after a qualifying inpatient hospital admission, when daily skilled care is medically necessary. It does not cover long-term custodial nursing care, and observation-status stays don't qualify at all.

How do I know it's time to look at assisted living instead of keeping Mom or Dad at home in Fort Worth?

This is rarely one dramatic moment -- it's usually an accumulation of smaller signs that becomes undeniable, often noticed by one family member well before others. Separate what's genuinely unsafe (missed medications, a fall nobody witnessed, a stove left on) from what's simply untidy or inconvenient.

What should I do after my parent has a fall in the Fort Worth area?

Treat a fall as a signal rather than an isolated accident -- a first fall is one of the strongest predictors of a second one. Get the cause properly investigated by a physician (medication, blood pressure, vision, inner-ear issues are all common culprits), and fix the immediate environment while you decide on next steps.

What should a Fort Worth family do in the first month after a dementia diagnosis?

Slow down -- very little needs to be decided immediately. Get the specific diagnosis clarified (Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, Lewy body and frontotemporal dementia all progress and respond to treatment differently), and complete legal paperwork like power of attorney while capacity is still clear.
