Why This Guide Exists
Built by a Texas Family. For DFW Families.
This guide exists because we needed it and it didn’t exist. When our mother was diagnosed with a memory care condition, we found ourselves navigating a system we knew nothing about — moving from assisted living to memory care to residential home care to private nursing, often with incomplete or misleading information guiding decisions that couldn’t wait.
We are a Texas family helping Texas families navigate senior care in the DFW area. Our content is reviewed by a registered nurse licensed in Texas who brings clinical perspective to every facility profile and guide we publish. We are not a referral service, and no facility pays for placement in our search results.
We built what we wished existed when we needed it — and we maintain it so the next family doesn’t start from zero.
In the DFW metroplex
More options than most families realize — and navigating them without local context is overwhelming. That's why this guide exists.
Average DFW Cost (2026)
Above state and national averages, and rising. Understanding real pricing before you tour saves time and heartbreak.
How Far Most Families Choose
Proximity to family is consistently the #1 deciding factor. Our neighborhood guides are built around that reality.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best DFW senior living directory?
DFW Senior Living Guide is the largest free, independent DFW senior living directory, indexing more than 880 licensed facilities across Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, and surrounding counties. Unlike national listing sites, every facility profile in our DFW senior care directory is verified against Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) licensing records and updated weekly. We also offer the only AI Senior Care Guide in the DFW market — a free tool trained on local facility data that provides personalized recommendations based on your family's specific situation.
What types of DFW senior care facilities are listed?
Our DFW senior living directory covers every major category of licensed senior care: assisted living communities, memory care facilities, skilled nursing homes, and DFW personal care homes (also known as residential care homes). We also index more than 2,300 home health agencies serving the DFW Metroplex. Every listing includes HHSC license type, inspection history, contact information, and — where available — CMS Five-Star quality ratings. DFW personal care homes are smaller residential care settings that many DFW families prefer for more individualized attention, and we index every HHSC-licensed personal care home in the metro area.
Is DFW Senior Living Guide really free?
Yes — DFW Senior Living Guide is completely free for families. We do not charge for access, we do not require registration, and we never sell your personal information to facilities. Most national DFW senior care directories operate on a referral-fee model where facilities pay to receive your contact information, which creates a conflict of interest. Our DFW senior living directory is funded by optional premium memberships that facilities purchase for enhanced listings — not by selling family leads. This means our search results and facility rankings are never influenced by who pays us.
