10 Best Nursing Homes in Dallas, TX

Answer a few questions to get personalized results

Who are you searching for?

The Dallas area offers a variety of senior care options. Although “nursing home” is often used as an umbrella term to refer to a breadth of senior living facilities, it’s actually a specific type of facility. True nursing homes, also known as skilled nursing facilities, aren’t right for everyone seeking senior care. Skilled nursing facilities provide the highest level of medical care available outside of a hospital for people who have serious medical conditions that require 24-hour monitoring.

For people who don’t need a nursing-home level of care, A Place for Mom partners with 48 senior care facilities within a 10-mile radius of Downtown Dallas. These options offer a supportive living environment including assistance with activities of daily living, medication reminders, dining services, social activities, and much more to support the overall wellness of aging seniors. Almost a fourth of these assisted living and memory care communities also have a skilled nursing unit on site, for seniors who have rehabilitation or hospice needs.

Costs of nursing homes in Dallas, Texas

Nursing homes, also known as skilled nursing facilities, typically cost more than other care options due to the higher level of medical care available on site.

Nursing homes in Dallas typically average around $5,247 for a semi-private room and $8,460 for a private room.[01]

  • Assisted living residents in the Dallas area pay an average of $3,764 per month, including both rent and care.
  • Memory care facility residents in the Dallas area pay an average of $4,260 per month for rent and care.

Medicaid for nursing homes in Dallas, Texas

Each state has its own Medicaid program, and these programs can help cover some senior care costs like skilled nursing services. Texas offers several types of Medicaid through its STAR managed care program. The STAR+PLUS program, specifically for seniors 65+ or adults with disabilities, covers basic health care services and some skilled nursing care costs if the nursing facility is licensed and certified by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (also known as the HHSC). To be eligible for Medicaid within a nursing facility, a resident must have an approved medical necessity, confirming that full-time services are required from a licensed nurse within a nursing facility.

If your loved one does not need the 24/7 medical care services of a nursing home, Texas offers the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver that may be used to pay for personal care services at an assisted living or memory care facility. Texas Health and Human Services assesses a person’s need for this waiver program during the Medicaid application process. Eligible members will then receive services through a person-centered process according to their specific needs. With this waiver program, care services are provided to the senior through agencies contracted with managed care organizations.

To find out if Medicaid will cover your nursing home or assisted living costs, contact Texas Health and Human Services by calling the Medicaid client hotline at 1-800-252-8263.

Medicare nursing home coverage in Dallas, Texas

Medicare may cover a limited amount of days in a nursing home. Medicare may fully cover up to 20 days in a skilled nursing home or facility and partially cover up to 100 days. After that 100-day limit, Medicare is not responsible for any payments.[03]

Medicare will not cover room and board costs for assisted living or memory care but can help cover some of the medical costs associated with long-term care. Whether your loved one needs skilled nursing or a different type of senior care, the following Texas programs help cover Medicare deductibles and fees associated with care expenses:

  • The Texas Medicare Savings Program may help cover some Medicare Parts A and B deductibles, premiums, coinsurance, and/or copayments. 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, you must meet certain income requirements.
  • In the state of Texas, Kidney Health Care covers the costs of some treatments, surgeries, medicines, and premiums for individuals with end-stage renal disease.
  • Texas also has a Texas THMP State Pharmacy Assistance Program to help HIV-positive individuals with their out-of-pocket costs associated with Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, including copayments, deductibles, coinsurance, and premiums.

Also helpful to note that some medical and senior living expenses are tax-deductible on federal tax returns, if they total more than 7.5% of the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income. Also, seniors aren’t taxed on their Social Security benefits or other retirement income because Texas does not have a personal income tax.[04,05]

Texas’ Health Information, Counseling, and Advocacy Program (HICAP) offers legal advice, referrals, and assistance to Texans who are eligible for Medicare.

Dual Medicare and Medicaid coverage in Dallas, Texas

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission offers a dual Medicare-Medicaid Plan for adults who are eligible for both through the Dual Eligible Integrated Care Demonstration Project. Commonly referred to as “the Demonstration,” this dual coverage can be beneficial for adults living in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, memory care facilities, or care homes.

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 the eligibility criteria listed below:

  • Have Medicare Parts A, B, and D, and receive full Medicaid benefits.
  • Be enrolled in the STAR+PLUS program for a minimum of 30 days.
  • Not reside in an intermediate care facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
  • Not be an individual with a developmental disability who gets services through Home and Community Based Services (HCBS).

Individuals who qualify for the program should automatically be enrolled and notified through a letter. They can then choose to opt out if they wish. Reach out to the following email address for additional information:

Understand Texas laws and regulations for senior care facilities

When searching for a suitable senior care facility, families should prioritize their loved one’s safety. All Texas senior care facilities, including nursing homes, must be licensed and regulated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (also known as the HHSC) before they provide housing and care to residents. If a nursing facility wishes to accept Medicaid or Medicare, they must be certified by Texas Health and Human Services to do so. Here is a look at some HHSC certification requirements of care facilities in Texas:

Evaluation of residents upon admission

  • The skilled nursing facility will develop a person-centered care plan for each resident that will take into account a doctor’s order and the patient’s dietary, therapeutic, social, psychological and daily care needs.[06,07]
  • In memory care-specific assisted living communities, residents have a more specialized admissions process to identify the patient’s need for memory care services.[08] Unlike in nursing homes, care plans in assisted living do not require a doctor’s order to complete the care plan for a resident.

Regulation of management and staffing

  • Caregivers in Texas nursing home facilities or skilled nursing units must include licensed nurses, certified nursing assistants and nurse aides, and registered nurses. All nursing units must meet specific staff-to-resident ratios: one nurse for every 20 residents must be on site at any given time.[09]
  • Assisted living facilities require a full-time manager to oversee the facility’s day-to-day operation. Facility managers are required to complete at least one 24-hour assisted living management training course.[10] Caregiving staff are also required to complete training courses.
  • For memory care facilities, managers and their staff must meet ongoing and supervised memory care training and specialization requirements in order to remain licensed as a memory care facility.{{citation: 11,12}}

Building a safe and healthy environment

  • A state-certified skilled nursing facility’s design, construction, and equipment must support the health and safety of residents, staff members, and visitors. Each facility must have safety equipment and emergency plans in place in case of accidents, fires, or power outages.[13]
  • Assisted living and memory care facilities require similar provisions and procedures. Memory care units or facilities must have additional measures in place to prevent residents from harming themselves or wandering. All facilities must allow for safe access to fresh air and common areas for activities.[14]
  • Memory care-specific units are required to encourage socialization. An activities director should assess each resident affected by dementia and plan tailored, person-centered activities just for them. The activities director must also arrange for special equipment that would enable all residents to participant in activities.[15]

Inspections and nursing home reviews

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, also known as the HHSC, inspects all nursing homes, assisted living facilities, memory care facilities, and group/care homes for the certification criteria, as well as their compliance with the Texas health code and life safety code. Each facility is inspected approximately every two years.

The health code inspections include a survey of the following in a facility:

  • Appropriate supervision levels for residents
  • Employee background checks
  • Facility management
  • Any items that could affect residents’ health

The safety code inspections include a survey of the following in a facility:

  • General construction
  • Safety and emergency features
  • Protection from hazardous areas
  • Documentation of fire drills, system checks, etc.

The public has access to each licensed community’s most recent inspection report and general facility information through the Texas Health and Human Services Division’s Long-term Care Provider Search. You can also request any additional information by emailing RSLTCR.RecordsMgmt@hhsc.state.tx.us.

To continually enhance the quality of care in nursing homes, the state of Texas regularly performs a Nursing Facility Quality Review — a statewide survey given to the residents at Medicaid-certified nursing facilities. This survey assesses residents’ satisfaction with quality of care and quality of life at the facility. The most recent published report was conducted in 2015.

To further compare and contrast ratings, staffing practices, and overall quality of Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes, visit the federal Medicare website and look up facilities by name or location.

Dallas, Texas: A hub for senior living solutions

Dallas’ 65+ population has grown by more than 30% in the last 10 years.[17,18] This growth reflects the state’s rising senior population, which is projected to more than double by 2050.[19] To support the growing population, Texas passed an executive order and developed Aging Texas Well — a strategic guide to help state agencies develop better resources to support the needs and different lifestyles of Texas seniors. As part of this strategy, Dallas has grown to have a dynamic senior living market with the following features.

Several care types under one roof

Dallas offers many senior care facilities that provide multiple care options all on the same campus. Some are even licensed as continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), though communities do not need this license to have multiple care levels on site. Many multi-care facilities separate their units by independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing or rehabilitation care types. This multi-care layout promotes an “aging-in-place” philosophy, so residents won’t need to move if their care needs ever change. It also enables couples with different needs to reside in the same community indefinitely.

Lifestyle programming suitable for all residents

Many senior living facilities in Dallas, Texas, provide an extensive list of activities and amenities built for both active and laidback lifestyles. More active seniors can utilize amenities like fitness centers, pools, and walking paths, while seniors with limited mobility can relax in gardens and enjoy serene water features, find good reads in the libraries, or get creative in arts and crafts centers.

Residents can also take advantage of a community’s activities calendar, which can include happy hours, game nights, movie nights, holiday celebrations, devotional services, and more. Plus, off-site trips keep things interesting, as several communities plan visits to parks, golf courses, and other off-site destinations based on residents’ interests and mobility levels.

Small and big community options

Choosing a suitable senior care facility will largely depend on the senior’s personality, care needs, and financial situation. However, the Dallas, Texas, area allows seniors to be as choosy as they’d like due to the range of market options available. Dallas seniors can choose from an array of community types — luxury living communities, cozy group homes, person-centered memory care, expansive CCRCs, and everything in between. Depending on the community, seniors can even customize their service plans to help ensure they stay within their financial means and don’t pay for services or amenities they don’t need.

Senior living in the surrounding Dallas suburbs

Many Dallas seniors want to remain near the city without having to deal with the city’s daily hustle and bustle. Luckily, Dallas offers many senior living options in surrounding cities. South Dallas nursing homes and other senior care options can be found in Lancaster and Red Oak. Other popular suburbs include Plano, Mesquite, and Richardson.

Transportation for seniors in Dallas, Texas

Public transportation isn’t the most practical way for seniors in nursing, assisted living, and memory care facilities to get around. That is why several senior care facilities offer on-site transportation options. Assisted living communities and care homes often provide their residents rides for medical appointments, errands, and off-site activities.

Seniors are also free to use the local DART Rides rider assistance program that’s available through the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (also known as DART). It’s specifically for elderly and disabled Dallas residents. DART riders must first enroll and meet specific requirements to ride.
