How to pay for assisted living in Dallas, Texas

There are several means to paying for assisted living. Many families combine private and public sources to cover their assisted living costs. Below, you’ll find a variety of options and resources to help pay for assisted living in Dallas. Also, you can visit our complete guide to paying for long-term care to get an understanding of payment options.

Private pay methods

The availability of private pay methods will largely depend on your loved one’s current financial situation.

Note that if some medical expenses and assisted living expenses are greater than 7.5% of a taxpayer’s adjusted gross income, they may be tax-deductible on federal tax returns.

Texas is also one of the few U.S. states without personal income tax, meaning seniors don’t have to worry about their income sources, such as Social Security benefits and other retirement benefits, being taxed at the state level.[03,04]

Your loved one can use their income sources, including savings, Social Security benefits, pensions, and investment returns, as well as any of the following:

Dallas Medicaid for assisted living

Most Dallas seniors receive Medicaid through STAR+PLUS, Texas’ managed care program specifically for adults who have disabilities and/or are 65+. STAR+PLUS can cover health care and long-term care costs in assisted living facilities that have been licensed and certified by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC).

The state of Texas offers a Medicaid waiver program — called Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) — that can help pay for additional services in an assisted living facility that’s been contracted by a resident’s managed care provider. The purpose of this waiver is to let individuals reside and receive care in a residential assisted living community rather than in an institutional setting like a nursing home.

Qualifying facilities must meet home and community-based setting standards, be integrated into a greater community, and not feel isolating to the senior. Texas Health and Human Services assesses a person’s need for this program when they apply for Medicaid. Eligible members then receive services through a person-centered process and according to their specific needs.

As of 2022, Home and Community Based Services eligibility requirements include the following:

  • Be 65 or older.
  • Require an institutional level of care — meaning help is required with multiple activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). Learn what constitutes as ADLs and IADLs here.
  • Earn less than $2,523 per month as an individual or $5,046 per month as a couple.[06] 

The Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) program can help cover costs for the following services:

  • Personal care
  • Adaptive aids, such as eyeglasses, hearing aids, orthotic devices, and orthopedic shoes
  • Emergency response services
  • Medical supplies
  • Nursing services
  • Respite care
  • Physical, occupational, and speech therapies [06]

For an assisted living facility to qualify as an HCBS setting, they must provide the following opportunities to residents:

  • Work or activities in an integrated setting
  • Engagement in community life
  • Personal resources support
  • Community services [07]
Medicare assisted living coverage in Dallas, Texas

Medicare doesn’t cover room and board costs in an assisted living facility; however, it can help cover some medical costs associated with long-term care. If you’d like to learn about Medicare coverage in the Dallas area specifically, you can dial 2-1-1 or visit the federal Medicare website. You can also contact a local Social Security Administration office for more information.

Below are some additional Dallas programs that may help cover some of your loved one’s Medicare deductibles and fees and provide assistance with Medicare:

Part A covers hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home health care services. Part B covers certain doctors’ services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services.

To qualify for these programs, you must meet certain income requirements.

Dual Medicaid and Medicare coverage in Dallas, Texas

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission serves adults who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. Dual-eligible adults can have their care coordinated by one Medicare-Medicaid Plan (MMP) with the Dual Eligible Integrated Care Demonstration Project, commonly referred to as “the Demonstration.”

The Demonstration aims to improve service coordination, enhance quality of care, eliminate cost shifting between Medicare and Medicaid, and reduce costs for both the state and federal governments. To enroll in the Demonstration, individuals must meet certain eligibility criteria:

  • Have Medicare Parts A, B, and D, and receive full Medicaid benefits.
  • Be enrolled in the STAR+PLUS program for at least 30 days.

Dual-eligible individuals that meet all eligibility criteria should be automatically enrolled. Though, they may choose to opt out after they’ve been notified of their enrollment through a letter.

Understand Texas laws and regulations for assisted living facilities

When searching for a suitable assisted living option, your loved one’s safety is often a primary concern. Getting a deeper understanding of Texas assisted living regulations and records can help you make sure that proper health and safety measures are taken to protect and care for your loved one.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is the state agency responsible for licensing and regulating assisted living facilities in Dallas. The facilities are regulated under the Health and Safety Code, and they govern the safety of Texas residents receiving assisted living services. Texas has a complete list of assisted living laws and regulations, which covers everything from licensure types and standards to inspection and survey information.

  • Assisted living laws require the state to deliver the highest possible quality of care in assisted living facilities, which includes advocating for the following:
    • Resident independence and self-determination
    • Humane treatment
    • Conservative interventions
    • Residents’ access to care
    • Continuity of care
    • Coordination of services
    • Safe surroundings
    • Professionalism of service providers
    • Participation in useful studies
    • Resident quality of life [08]
  • Texas assisted living regulations also include inspections of the following:
    • Requirements for each licensing type
    • Facility construction
    • Information on investigations
    • Information on license suspension and revoking [09] 

Texas refers to assisted living facilities as ALFs, and they are categorized into two types — Type A and B:

  • Type A ALFs provide care to seniors who don’t require routine attendance overnight and are capable of following directions in an emergency. This includes most assisted living communities and larger group homes.[10]
  • Type B ALFs are for seniors who require nighttime attendance and staff assistance to evacuate in emergencies. This type includes facilities with specialized care units, including skilled nursing and memory care.[10]

For more general information on assisted living facilities, check out this assisted living pamphlet.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission performs unannounced inspections on each assisted living facility approximately every two years. Inspections are based on an ALF’s compliance in two areas — health and safety code, also known separately as the health code and life safety code.

The health code includes, but is not limited to, inspections of the following:

  • Appropriate supervision levels for residents
  • Employee background checks
  • Management of the facility
  • Any items that could affect residents’ health [08]

The life safety code includes, but is not limited to, inspections of the following:

  • Construction of the facility
  • Safety features
  • Emergency features
  • Protection from hazardous areas
  • Documented reports of fire drills, system checks, etc. [08]

The public can access each licensed community’s most recent inspection report and general facility information through the Texas Health and Human Services Commission’s Long-term Care Provider Search.

That said, testing isn’t state-mandated for staff or residents, and visitors are allowed on site at facilities.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has a COVID-19 response plan and regularly provides updated COVID-19 FAQs to help assisted living facilities stay up to date with practices regarding the following:

Dallas is an assisted living market built to accommodate seniors

The Dallas 65+ population grew by more than 30% between 2011 and 2021.[11,12] The growth doesn’t come as a surprise because, as Texans often say, everything’s bigger in Texas — including senior living options, activities, and resources.

The state’s senior population is projected to double by 2050. In order to support this rising aging population, the state of Texas passed an executive order known as the Aging Texas Well Strategic Plan. This plan serves as a strategic guide for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and other state agencies to develop better resources to help the senior population in Texas thrive.

Types of assisted living in Dallas, Texas

Dallas’ diverse assisted living market ranges from high-end, luxurious options to traditional, affordable options. Many assisted living communities offer a wide range of care options, with some providing all-inclusive care services and others offering à la carte services to keep care affordable. Assisted living options are scattered throughout the metropolis, so residents can easily find a community in their desired neighborhood.

Luxury assisted living

Dallas offers a wealth of luxury assisted living options, from Downtown Dallas to its suburbs. These communities often feature alluring décor, high-end furnishings, and a rotating calendar of activities and events. Resort-style amenities like movie theaters, cocktail bars, heated swimming pools, and spas with luxurious services like massages, manicures, and more are also commonplace in these communities. The dining scene is often robust — residents can typically dine in elegant, restaurant-style dining rooms and enjoy chef-prepared menu items or grab snacks as they please from on-site bistros and cafes.

Country-style assisted living

The Dallas area is also home to several traditional assisted living facilities that radiate classic Southern charm. Ideal for seniors seeking a nostalgic setting, these communities are typically adorned with vintage and timeless furnishings. They also offer typical care services, like assistance with activities of daily living, catered or home-cooked meals, and a calendar of engaging activities. Some of these communities may be religiously affiliated, so they can be a perfect match for seniors seeking faith-based living options.

Assisted living in care homes

Approximately 40% of A Place for Mom’s assisted living partners in central Dallas are care homes [01] — an intimate, homelike setting where assisted living services are provided to a smaller number of seniors at a time. The number of residents in a given community ranges from four to eight. These homes vary from small, suburban homes to modern mansions, so seniors have options to find a home within their comfort zone. These homes provide similar care services, often at a more personalized level due to the higher caregiver-to-resident ratios. Activities and amenities vary greatly depending on the community, but they strive to accommodate residents’ interests as best as they can. Some of these care homes may also be faith-based.

Assisted living in the surrounding Dallas suburbs

If the big-city life doesn’t suit you, Dallas is surrounded by suburbs with many assisted living facilities, including ones with care options ranging from independent living to advanced memory care. If you’re seeking luxurious communities on the outskirts of Dallas, you may want to consider facilities near Highland Park or Southlake.

For more affordable assisted living communities, check out the many options in Garland and Grand Prairie. Plano also often appears on best retirement spot lists due to its close proximity to Dallas, safe neighborhoods, and robust activity options.

Transportation for seniors in Dallas

Some Dallas neighborhoods are easier to explore on foot, with the downtown area being the most walkable. However, the wide sprawl of the city makes it difficult to walk everywhere, which is why many residents own their own vehicles.

Dallas also offers ways to travel without a car through Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART). DART provides trains, buses, streetcars, and trolleys that run from 5 a.m. to midnight. They also offer a rider assistance program specifically for residents who are disabled and/or 65 and older, though it requires residents to register and meet certain eligibility criteria.

Some assisted living facilities also provide their own transportation options — including complimentary and at-cost rides for appointments, errands, and scheduled, off-site activities.

The city is also proud of its booming arts and culture scene. Some assisted living communities coordinate visits to one of the many museums or performing arts theaters. Several museums and theaters offer senior discounts and are fully equipped for individuals with disabilities, making any event seamlessly enjoyable for seniors with limited mobility.
