Assisted Living Resource Guide for Denton

The signs a senior loved one needs help aren’t always obvious ones. A home that is messier than is typical of them. Or it could be a stack of unopened bills on the counter. Even a less than tidy personal appearance might be an indication that an older adult needs help.

From independent living communities that free seniors from the burdens of home ownership to assisted living and dementia care communities, Denton, Texas has a variety of options for older adults.

What to Know about the City

Denton, Texas is part of the Dallas – Fort Worth metroplex. It is the county seat of Denton County. With a population of just over 113,000 people, it is one of the country’s fastest growing cities.

The city is known for entertainment and events that include rodeos, arts and jazz music. Denton Square is the hub of the city and where many of these events take place.
Major employers for the city of Denton include the University of North Texas, Denton Independent School District, Peterbilt Motors and Texas Woman’s University.

A variety of transportation options make Denton an easy city for families to access. It is easy drive to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Denton is also served by the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) with bus service to downtown Dallas. DCTA also connects to the Dallas Area Regional Transit system (DART).

Denton is also convenient to area freeways such as I-35 and Highways 77, 377, and 380. This means first responders can quickly reach a senior in the event of a medical emergency.

Available Hospitals for Emergency Care in Denton

There are a wide variety of major medical centers in and around Denton. Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Denton, Denton Regional Medical Center and The Heart Hospital of Baylor are just a few seniors in the area will have easy access to for both routine and emergency care.

Finding an Assisted Living Facility in Denton

One of the many senior housing options available to older adults in Denton is assisted living. These types of communities combine the best of both worlds by providing residents with the assistance and support they need to maintain their independence. There are 9 assisted living communities in Denton and another 30 nearby.

Residents in an assisted living community have their own individual apartment or suite. This enables them to maintain their independence and privacy. But caregivers are always nearby to lend a helping hand with daily tasks such as toileting, bathing, dressing and safely managing medication.

Families should expect to spend between $2,000 and $6,800 for an assisted living community in Denton. The exact cost depends upon the amount of care the senior requires, as well as the type and size of the apartment they choose.

Memory Care Programs

Memory care programs help older adults with Alzheimer’s or a similar form of dementia live safe and productive lives despite their disease. There are 6 memory care programs in Denton and 30 more in the surrounding areas.

Families should plan to spend between $4,000 and $6,000 a month for memory care in this area of north Texas.

Finding a quality memory care program for an adult with Alzheimer’s is easier with the assistance of an experienced senior care advisor. Senior Living Specialists has helped more than 2,000 families in north Texas find a senior care solution for a loved one.

Residential Care Homes near Denton

These group-style homes are an attractive alternative to assisted living for seniors for several reasons:

  • Small communities that look more like a private home
  • Less residents than an assisted living community
  • Bundled pricing that is usually more affordable

In Denton and the surrounding cities, there are almost 35 residential care homes for families to consider.

The price for a residential care community in Denton can vary from $2,000 to $5,500 a month.

Finding the Right Independent Living Facility

If you or an older loved one is looking for a senior housing community to free you up from the burdens of home ownership, an independent living community might be the ideal solution for you. There are 4 communities in Denton and almost 30 more nearby.

A benefit of an independent living community many seniors find attractive is that everything from trash pick-up to repairing the hot water heater is included. This frees residents to enjoy travel, hobbies and the grandkids.

One thing to keep in mind is that because the amenities at independent living communities vary greatly, the price range does too. You might find a small studio apartment in a senior complex for well under $2,000 a month. If you decide on an independent living villa that offers more services and amenities, the cost could be over $5,000 a month.

Life enrichment activities, community outings, light housekeeping and maintenance are usually included in the monthly fee. You might also be able to purchase meals and other a la carte assistance.
