How much does memory care cost in Fort Worth, TX?

In Fort Worth, the average monthly cost of memory care is $6,295, according to A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.^[01] This average is based on starting base rent, daily meals, and basic personal care services and may not include additional fees for specific care services, certain amenities, and other extras. Common factors that affect your final costs include the community’s location, floor plan or unit size, your loved one’s specific care needs, and any add-on fees.

According to the Economic Research Institute, the overall cost of living in Fort Worth aligns exactly with the national average, although it is about 10% more expensive than the Texas state average.^[02] Knowing this can help families budget as they evaluate local facilities as compared to communities in neighboring suburban areas.

As you compare different senior living communities in Fort Worth, you will notice that monthly rates correspond closely to the amount of daily assistance a resident needs. Because individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia require enhanced security measures, 24/7 monitoring, and caregivers with specialized cognitive training, memory care is typically the most expensive option, followed by assisted living, which averages $5,094 per month, and independent living, which averages $4,175 per month.

How to pay for memory care in Fort Worth

In Fort Worth, most seniors and their families use a combination of funding methods to comfortably afford the specialized support they need. Common options include funds from the sale of a home, personal savings, long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, and Texas’s Medicaid programs.

Private pay options

Families in Fort Worth often use a combination of personal assets and income to help pay memory care expenses. Since Texas doesn’t levy a state income tax, these sources can stretch even further. Common sources include:

Social Security benefits
Pension payments
Retirement account distributions (e.g., 401k, 401a and 403b, Roth, and others)
Health saving accounts
Proceeds from selling a home or other real estate
Proceeds from a reverse mortgage
Long-term care insurance
Certain kinds of life insurance policies

In some cases, family members also decide to share expenses to ensure their loved one receives quality dementia care.

VA benefits

If your senior loved one served in the military or are the surviving spouse of a veteran, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides financial assistance programs that can help make memory care more affordable.

There are several VA benefits that can be applied toward the cost of a memory care community or related medical care. Some of the most common options include:

Veterans Pension and Survivors Pension
Aid and Attendance
VA Disability Compensation
Dependency and Indemnity Compensation

Navigating the VA system and qualifying for these benefits can be a difficult, time-consuming process. Working with a qualified benefits counselor before applying can help you avoid long delays, stressful denials, or a penalty period of ineligibility for a pension, and increase the chances your loved one receives the full benefits they qualify for.

To explore these options further, start by reading VA Benefits for Memory Care: A Comprehensive Guide for Veterans.

Medicaid

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program created to help low-income individuals afford health care and long-term care. In Texas, the state Medicaid program is administered by Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) and is called STAR (State of Texas Access Reform). Through this program, eligible seniors may use Medicaid waivers to help cover the cost of certain home- and community-based services received in a memory care community.

Texas Medicaid does not cover room and board in memory care communities, but it may help pay for certain health and personal care services through:{{citations:4,5}}

STAR+PLUS waiver
STAR+PLUS Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waiver

Unlike STAR, which is an entitlement program that guarantees covered services to eligible residents, the STAR+PLUS and STAR+PLUS HCBS waivers are not entitlement programs, which means that enrollment may be limited and your loved one could be placed on a waitlist.

While these programs do not typically cover room and board in memory care communities, they may help pay for certain care-related services, including:

Personal care assistance
Medication management
Support with activities of daily living (ADLs)
Related home- and community-based services

Eligibility for the program depends on assets, income, and the level of care your loved one needs.

Fort Worth residents can apply for Texas Medicaid by:

Medicare

Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for adults aged 65 and older.^[06] While it doesn’t cover the cost of memory care rent or daily custodial care, it can help reduce your loved one’s overall medical expenses by paying for medically necessary health services they receive while living in a community, including doctor visits, prescriptions, and durable medical equipment.

However, if visiting family members want to explore the area or need to accompany their loved ones to appointments, Fort Worth offers a few convenient public transportation options:

Trinity Metro provides bus, train, and rideshare services throughout Tarrant County, connecting families to medical centers, shopping districts, and local attractions.

When you want to spend quality time with your loved one outside the community, Fort Worth makes tremendous efforts to help seniors with dementia enjoy beloved activities and have new experiences. As part of the Dementia Friendly America network, the city offers plenty of engaging, sensory-friendly destinations that are realistic and safe for seniors in memory care to enjoy with visiting loved ones.

Dementia-friendly arts and culture

Fort Worth’s museums and arts organizations offer easy-to-navigate spaces and specialized programming designed specifically to engage older adults living with memory loss.

The Amon Carter Museum of American Art hosts a monthly event called “Artful Moments” for individuals with dementia. The program enables seniors in the early stages of dementia to connect with artworks in a social setting, helping them to reminisce and stimulate their brains through hands-on activities.
In partnership with Dementia Friendly Fort Worth, the Fort Worth Opera hosts a special “Music, Memory, and More” event where seniors can spend occasional mornings interactively engaging with historical periods of classical music and participating in therapeutic activities.
With more than 350 works of art chosen for their rarity and historical importance, the Kimbell Art Museum allows seniors to marvel at exhibitions or browse its library. It is highly celebrated for its commitment to accessibility, aiming to accommodate visitors with varying mobility and complex needs.

Parks, gardens, and outdoor recreation

Expanding over 3,600 acres, the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge features stunning forests, prairies, and wetlands where seniors can enjoy a scenic picnic or a gentle stroll along some of the easy-to-navigate trails at a discounted admission rate.
A fantastic destination for visiting grandchildren, the Fort Worth Zoo houses more than 500 fascinating species and provides thoughtful accommodations to prevent overstimulation, including wheelchair rentals, sensory bags, and accessibility maps for visitors.

Dining, entertainment, and community support

Texas is famous for its cuisine and lively entertainment, and Fort Worth provides a robust support network to help memory care residents enjoy local flavors and shopping.

Seniors and their families are also invited to attend supportive group gatherings at local churches.
Fort Worth offers some of Texas’s finest cuisine, from world-famous barbecue and Tex-Mex to nostalgic desserts and seafood. Many memory care communities regularly organize supervised resident outings to local favorites to help seniors get out of their shells and engage with the community.
The bustling Sundance Square is filled with decadent dining, live outdoor music, and diverse shops. Seniors can attend concerts, visit the Sid Richardson Museum, or even run errands, with most attractions providing helpful accommodations for individuals with disabilities.

Catch a game

If your loved one is a lifelong sports fan, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex provides several accommodating venues where you can safely cheer on local teams without risking sensory overload. By taking advantage of their thoughtful accessibility features and aiming for less crowded daytime or weekday matchups, you can help spark cherished memories of past games while creating joyful new moments together.

The Texas Rangers play just next door in Arlington at Globe Life Field. This fully climate-controlled ballpark provides ADA-accessible seating, making it easy to escape the intense Texas heat. To specifically support guests with dementia or cognitive challenges, the stadium features a dedicated Sensory Room for quiet breaks and offers sensory bags equipped with noise-canceling headphones.
Dickies Arena in Fort Worth hosts everything from college basketball tournaments to the iconic Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. The venue is highly accessible, offering complimentary wheelchair escorts from the entrances directly to your seats. Should the cheering become too loud, families can find a calm, safe retreat in the arena’s specialized Sensory Needs Room.

For a more laid-back afternoon, attending Texas Christian University (TCU) Athletics events, such as a Horned Frogs baseball or volleyball game, delivers that nostalgic collegiate spirit in a more accessible setting. These smaller venues are often much easier to navigate with a senior and provide a naturally relaxed pace compared to massive major league stadiums.

Memory care laws and regulations in Texas

Memory care communities are generally regulated by state governments. This means that rules and operation requirements vary by state and by the type of care a community provides. Learning about how memory care is regulated can help you make informed care decisions.

Why do licensure and inspection reports matter to families?

State regulations — and a community’s track record with inspections and licensing — offer important insights into safety and quality of care in senior living communities.

Download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports to learn what to look for in inspection reports and what questions to ask when touring communities. This resource explains how to use state licensure and inspection information to evaluate a community’s compliance, care standards, and responsiveness to issues.
