Searching for Senior Housing in Grand Prairie, Texas

As the most experienced team of senior living advisors in all of north Texas, we’ve had the opportunity to get to know the cities and the senior living communities in the area well. Grand Prairie, Texas is a city that has much to offer older adults.

Getting to Know Grand Prairie

Grand Prairie, Texas is located along the border of Dallas and Tarrant counties with a portion of the city stretching in to Ellis County. With a lower cost of living than other areas of north Texas, Grand Prairie was voted the 13th best city in the country for families by WalletHub. The designation was based on factors such as safety and affordability.

Located in close proximity to medical centers, Grand Prairie is home to a variety of independent living, assisted living, memory care and residential care homes.
Major employers for the area range from Lockheed Martin Missiles to Siemens Energy, Six Flags corporate offices, and Airbus Helicopters.

While there is no public transportation system that serves Grand Prairie, there are a variety of major highways that run through the city. A few of the more popular ones include Interstates 20 and 30, Pioneer Parkway, Belt Line Road, and President George Bush Turnpike.

This makes the city an easy place to access for families who wish to visit often. It also means if your parent or other senior loved one has a health crisis, emergency services are easily accessible.

Medical Institutions In and Around Grand Prairie

Grand Prairie and the surrounding area are home to almost 70 medical institutions. Texas General Hospital, Dallas Fort Worth Medical Center, and Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital are just a few.

Urgent care centers and outpatient rehab centers are also easy for older adults in Grand Prairie to access.

Memory Care in Grand Prairie

As the number of older adults living with Alzheimer’s climbs, the need for quality memory care programs is increasing. This is often because of how difficult the disease can be for families to safely manage at home.

Fortunately for seniors in and around Grand Prairie, there are a variety of memory care options to consider. In fact, there are almost 50 dedicated memory care programs in the area.

In these dedicated programs, you will find caregivers who understand how to support the needs of people with Alzheimer’s disease or a related form of dementia. Caregivers participate in specialized training to help them with communication skills, as well as learning how to assist with the tasks of daily life.

The ultimate goal of a memory care program is to allow residents to live their best quality of life despite their disease.
In Grand Prairie, Texas and the surrounding area you should expect to spend between $3,500 per month and $6,200 a month for a memory care program.

Available Assisted Living Communities

If you or your senior loved one is searching for an assisted living community, Grand Prairie is home to many. One of our experienced, local care advisors can help you narrow down your choices and find the community that is the best fit for your senior family member’s unique needs.

We can also help you evaluate just what type of assistance your family member requires. It might be medication reminders and assistance with bathing or just a helping hand with housekeeping and laundry.

For some older adults, finding an assisted living community close to their place of worship is very important. Grand Prairie is home to many churches ranging from Indian Hills Southern Baptist Church to Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church.

As you are planning your senior loved one’s budget, keep in mind that assisted living communities in this area of north Texas can cost from $3,000 per month to over $5,000. Our care advisors can help you explore your options for financing this type of care.

Residential Care Home Options

For older adults who prefer a smaller, more home-like environment, a residential care home is often the ideal solution. These care homes have fewer residents which means caregivers are usually able to spend more time with each one.

Residential care homes in and around Grand Prairie typically cost between $1,800 and $4,500 per month. What makes them attractive from a financial standpoint is that most include everything from meals to care in one price.

Independent Living in Grand Prairie

These active living communities are popular among older adults who are tired of the burdens of home ownership. They are seeking a more carefree lifestyle. The freedom from household responsibilities and chores combined with an abundance of activities and events make independent living an attractive solution.

There are over 50 of these types of communities to choose from in and around Grand Prairie, Texas. Each one offers unique services and amenities. While some are more upscale and amenity-rich, others are designed for comfort and security.

Because the services and amenities vary so greatly in independent living communities, so too do the costs. Some communities have a monthly fee of less than $2,000 a month, while others will be $6,000 a month or greater.
