Assisted Living Resource Guide for Bedford

If you are an adult child in north Texas, the sheer number of senior housing options for a loved one can be overwhelming. It’s no wonder seniors and their families often delay making any decision at all. One city to give strong consideration to is Bedford, Texas. It is conveniently located in the mid-cities area between Dallas and Fort Worth.

As north Texas’ most experienced team of local senior care advisors, Senior Living Specialists knows the benefits of each type of senior housing. We also have insider knowledge of the local communities, including which ones have a strong reputation for care and which ones that might not be as popular with families.

What to Know about Bedford

Bedford, Texas is home to less than 50,000 residents. Major employers range from Texas Health Resources to Carter Bloodcare, Wal-Mart and Warrantech.

Major highways include State Highways 121 and 183.

From a variety of medical facilities and emergency care centers to many senior housing options, Bedford can be a nice place for older adults looking to retire in a warm climate.

Major Medical Centers in Bedford, Texas

Because seniors sometimes live with chronic health conditions or need emergency care, finding a senior housing facility near a medical center is important. Older adults who retire in Bedford, Texas will find themselves surrounded by a number of medical centers.

Texas Health Harris Methodist, HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of the Mid-Cities and Northeast Community Hospital are just a few.

Assisted Living Options

There are over 30 different assisted living communities near Bedford, Texas. These communities offer seniors the best of both worlds.

Residents have their own apartment or suite which allows them to maintain their privacy. They do so knowing caregivers are nearby 24/7 to provide a helping hand. It might be with bathing, dressing, medication management or assistance getting to and from the bathroom.

When our senior care advisor first meets with your family, we will help you learn more about the features and benefits of an assisted living community and offer you guidance on how to narrow down your choices.

Memory Care Programs in Bedford

Alzheimer’s disease or a related form of dementia can be very difficult for families to safely manage in a home setting. As the disease progresses the likelihood that a senior will wander increases. This behavior is often one that causes families to seek a secure senior housing community for their loved one.

For adults in the Bedford area, there are just over 30 memory care communities to choose from nearby. Every community has a slightly different philosophy of care.
The cost of a memory care program in the Bedford, Texas area ranges from $3,500 to almost $6,000 a month. Each of these communities includes different care, services and amenities. Be sure to ask what is — and what isn’t — included.

Because a growing number of Alzheimer’s researchers believe keeping the brain stimulated may help slow the progression of the disease, life enrichment activities are an important part of the day in a memory care program.

Residential Care Options

The Bedford, Texas area is fortunate to have another type of senior housing option not offered in every state. It is a residential care home, sometimes referred to as a care home.

These care homes are typically small and closely resemble a private home in appearance. Older adults and their families often find them to be an attractive alternative to larger assisted living communities.

There are over 30 residential care homes in and around Bedford. Monthly costs range from just under $2,000 to over $5,000. Most of these home-like communities include everything the senior requires in one bundled, monthly fee.

Independent Living in Bedford

Independent living is a term used to describe a variety of types of senior housing. It might be a stand-alone apartment community dedicated exclusively to older adults or a condominium-like home on the campus of a full continuum retirement community.

These communities are designed to allow older adults the support they need to be free from home maintenance and repairs. This allows for more time to enjoy the many social activities and wellness programs.

Because the size of the apartment, services and amenities at independent living communities vary greatly, so do the monthly fees. In the Bedford area, communities with fewer services and amenities might only cost about $1,800 month, while those with larger apartments, rich amenities and a broader spectrum of services can be over $6,000 a month.
