Independent Living in Texas

Overview of Independent Living in Texas

For families considering senior living options, Texas has plenty to offer. The Lone Star State’s warm temperatures, rich history, and blend of cultures attract tourists from all over the world and make Texas an ideal retirement destination. Visit the art museums in Houston, catch a Cowboys game in Dallas, experience the Alamo in San Antonio, or see a show in Austin, the “Live Music Capital of the World.” The phrase “everything is bigger in Texas” turns out to be true: With several of the largest cities in the country, as well as plenty of wide-open space, there’s truly something for everyone here.Currently, A Place for Mom partners with more than 430 independent living communities, also known simply as retirement communities, in Texas.

Cost of Independent Living in Texas

The average monthly cost of assisted living in Texas is $3,500 according to A Place for Mom’s internal data. This is around $800 less than the national monthly average for assisted living.

The cost of assisted living varies, but typically depends on a facility’s pricing structure, the location, floor plans, and the level of care needed by a resident. The total amount families pay for assisted living also depends on whether or not they can offset any medical-related expenses with programs like medicare or medicaid.
