Senior Living Resources for Wylie, Texas

If an aging family member is preparing for a move to a senior housing community, Wylie is home to many options. With a wide range of independent living, assisted living, memory care and residential care communities, there are solutions to meet every senior’s needs.

The next step is to get to know this area of north Texas and then begin to understand the differences between each of your options for senior living.

Get to Know Wylie

Wylie is a city in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex that straddles three counties: Collin, Rockwall and Dallas. It is close to both Lavon Lake and Lake Ray Hubbard.

This city of almost 46,000 people is an easy drive from the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Several major highways, including Texas Highway 78, and Farm Markets 544 and 1378, run through the city. This access makes visits from adult children who live in other areas of the state or the country much easier.

Hospitals and Medical Centers in the City

Located about 20 miles north of central Dallas, Wylie is fortunate to have over 60 different hospitals and medical centers nearby. This makes health care access easier for older adults who often require a higher level of medical attention. Medical centers range from neighboring Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital to Baylor Scott & White Emergency Center.

The Dallas area is also home to the VA North Texas Health System.

Available Assisted Living Communities

Aging experts often describe assisted living communities as a senior care solution that provides older adults with the best of two worlds. The older adult has their own private apartment to allow them to maintain their independence. They also have the support of caregivers nearby 24/7 when assistance is needed.

Assisted living communities in this part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex range in price from just under $3,000 to well over $5,000 each month.

Wylie and the surrounding area are home to almost 30 assisted living communities. For many families, knowing which ones to consider can be a challenge. Our senior living advisors sit down with older adults and their families to help them prioritize their search criteria. This includes:

  • Does the senior want to remain close to one of their physician’s offices or a hospital where they routinely receive care?
  • Is close proximity to their a church or synagogue a priority?
  • Will a furry or feathered friend be making the move with the older adult? If so, finding a pet-friendly assisted living community should be high on the priority list as not all communities welcome pets.
  • How much care and assistance does the senior require each day? Some communities offer a broader range of support services than others.

Creating a priority list will help you and your senior living advisor narrow down your choices.

Available Memory Care Programs Near Wylie

As the number of older adults with Alzheimer’s continues to rise, the demand for dedicated dementia care programs climbs too. These dedicated programs are carefully and thoughtfully designed to allow adults with Alzheimer’s disease an opportunity to live their best life.

Memory care programs are secure areas of an assisted living community. Caregivers receive additional training to help them learn the best ways to communicate and support the needs of people with memory loss.

Most communities have specialty dining rooms, a full calendar of life enrichment activities and wellness programs. The 30 memory care communities located in and around Wylie, Texas range in price from $3,000 a month to over $6,000.

Independent Living Communities in Wylie

Some people refer to independent living communities as retirement centers or senior apartments. They are designed to give older adults a lifestyle that is free from burdens and worries, like lawn care, trash removal, household repairs and maintenance. Monthly fees usually include all of these services. Some communities also include or offer additional services such as housekeeping or meals.

What most independent living communities focus on is helping residents enjoy active and engaged lives. With programs ranging from wellness to art classes, book clubs, and movie nights there is something for every resident to participate in.

The Wylie, Texas area is home to almost 30 independent living communities. Prices range from $1,400 a month to over $6,000 depending upon the amount of services and amenities the community provides.

Residential Care Homes

Another option for senior care that is popular with families is a residential care home. These small communities look more like a private residence. There are over 20 residential care homes within a 20 mile radius of Wylie.

Because of their size, residential care homes have fewer residents. This usually means the community has lower staff-resident ratios giving caregivers more time to spend with each senior.

Monthly costs for a residential care home in and around Wylie are usually between $4,000 and $5,000. Most of these communities offer bundled pricing which means everything is included in one monthly fee.
