Who are you searching for?

In Fort Worth, residents can live in a family-friendly environment without sacrificing the amenities of a metropolis like Dallas. Due to rapid expansion, Dallas and Fort Worth have merged together into one greater Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metroplex. The metroplex attracts seniors and their families due to its ideal climate, senior-friendly activities, and multitude of senior care options — including nursing homes.

Nursing home is oftentimes used as an umbrella term for a breadth of senior care facilities. However, a nursing home or skilled nursing level of care is the highest level of medical care one can get outside of a hospital. These facilities are for seniors who require 24-hour medical supervision, hospice care, or rehabilitative services.

A Place for Mom doesn’t partner with stand-alone skilled nursing facilities. However, we do partner with several assisted living and memory care facilities in Fort Worth with on-site skilled nursing units and services. For seniors who don’t currently require 24-hour skilled nursing care, an assisted living or memory care facility might be a better fit. These senior care facilities provide personal care, supportive services, activities, and social programs to help seniors thrive physically, mentally, and socially.

A Place for Mom partners with 30 senior care facilities within a 10-mile radius of Northside Fort Worth, including assisted living and memory care. This guide to nursing homes in Fort Worth enables you to compare local nursing homes to senior care facilities. It provides robust information on local facility costs, ways families pay, and state regulations. You’ll also find information on Fort Worth’s senior care facility features, senior-specific care resources, and senior-friendly activities.

Costs of nursing homes in the Fort Worth area

Because Fort Worth is typically known as the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area, cost data on nursing home facilities is taken from across the greater metroplex. According to current data, the median monthly cost of a nursing home in the DFW area is $8,460 per month.^[01]

More affordable senior care options are available for seniors who don’t require 24-hour skilled nursing services. For instance, the median rent for assisted living is half that of skilled nursing, at $4,215 per month to live in an assisted living facility in Fort Worth. Memory care is slightly higher than general assisted living, at $5,548 per month for a memory care facility. These figures come from A Place for Mom’s 2022-2023 proprietary data on senior care facilities in DFW.^[02]

Senior care community costs are significantly lower than nursing home facilities, yet monthly costs may seem high when compared to senior apartments. This is due to all the included amenities and services available in Fort Worth senior care communities.

The following amenities and services are typically included in the monthly baseline rental costs at our partner Fort Worth senior care communities:

A dining plan with three meals and snacks daily
Standard care services (medication management, assistance with ADLs — bathing, grooming, etc.)
Housekeeping and laundry services
Access to on-site amenities (like fitness centers, pools, craft centers, libraries, movie theaters, lounges, courtyards, etc.)
Access to on-site activities (like interest clubs, game nights, holiday parties, fitness classes, reminiscence therapies, etc.)
Outings to local attractions and community events
Standard maintenance and landscaping

The following services are also typical at our partner senior care communities in DFW, but residents may have to pay additional fees:

Advanced care services (injection administration, catheter care, specialized memory care, chronic disease management, etc.)
Pet rent and additional occupant fees
Room service and special meal accommodations
Beauty salon and barbershop services
Transportation services

How people pay for a nursing home in Fort Worth

Many seniors and their families combine private funds and public health insurance programs to cover their senior care costs. Depending on your senior loved one’s personal history and current financial situation, they may be eligible for some of the most common public support methods — VA benefits, Medicare, and/or Medicaid. In this section, you’ll find a summary of private and public pay methods you may want to consider for a nursing home or senior care facility in Fort Worth.

Private pay methods

Seniors and families typically acquire private funds over a lifetime to pay for a nursing home or senior care community. Take a look at some of the most common private sources of income for senior care below:

Personal income sources. Private income can include savings accounts, retirement pensions, investment returns, and other income sources. Any and all of these can be combined to cover the cost of a senior’s ideal care community.
Selling a house. Seniors moving into a nursing home or senior care community are often looking to downsize, resulting in the sale of their house. A house sale could free up cash to help your loved one pay for a private community of their choice.
Reverse mortgage. If selling your senior loved one’s house isn’t a feasible option, a reverse mortgage might be. This option can allow your loved one to borrow from their home’s equity to cover some senior care community costs.
Health savings accounts (HSA). Depending on a senior’s history, they may have opened a health savings account or HSA. If your senior loved one has an HSA, they may use their accumulated funds to pay for medically necessary care services within a nursing home or senior care facility.
Life insurance. If your senior loved one is enrolled in a life insurance plan, they may be able to sell, surrender, or borrow from their policy to pay for senior care.
Long-term care insurance. When approaching retirement, some seniors purchase a long-term care insurance policy to help offset their future care costs. If your senior loved one has long-term care insurance, you may want to check with their policy provider to see what it may cover at a senior care community.
Social Security benefits. If your senior loved one is a former worker or a dependent of a former worker, they may qualify for some Social Security benefits. The most common is Social Security Retirement (SSR), which provides monthly income to your loved one after they retire.

VA benefits

40000

Approximate number of veterans who live in Fort Worth as of 2021

About 38% of Fort Worth veterans are 65+.

Can veterans benefits pay for nursing homes or senior care communities?

If you or your senior loved one is a veteran, veterans benefits may help cover long-term care and senior care community costs. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers senior veterans and their surviving spouses various pensions and benefits. The Aid and Attendance benefit is especially helpful for disabled senior veterans. This generous benefit is a monthly addition to the VA Pension. This additional income can be used to pay for anything that improves quality of life — which could include a nursing home or senior care facility.

How does one qualify for veterans benefits?

If you’re at all unsure about your or a loved one’s eligibility for VA benefits, it’s in your best interest to reach out to a local veterans service organization (VSO) before beginning the application process. VSOs are nonprofits and usually vetted by the VA to help senior veterans or their surviving spouses obtain entitled benefits. VSOs can help you or your loved one to successfully file benefit claims or appeal a denied claim.

Where can one go for benefits assistance in Fort Worth?

Fort Worth veterans are in luck, because almost all of the city’s veteran service organizations (VSOs) are run from one office — the Tarrant County Veteran Services Office. This office helps veterans access local, regional, and nationwide services offered by organizations like the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), Disabled American Veterans (DAV), Texas Veterans Commission (TVC), and others. You can reach out to these organizations directly with the contact information provided below. We also provide some online guides that explain more on veterans benefits.

Medicaid

Medicaid is a joint state and federal program that provides health insurance to individuals with limited income and resources. In Texas, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (or the HHSC) runs the state’s Medicaid programs. Their STAR+PLUS program is the most popular among seniors.

STAR+PLUS — Texas’ Medicaid program for seniors

STAR+PLUS is the state’s managed care program for seniors 65+ and individuals with disabilities. This program covers basic health care services and some skilled nursing services through agencies that’ve been licensed and certified by the HHSC. For seniors to receive Medicaid within a nursing home or skilled nursing facility, they must meet income requirements and have an approved medical necessity. A medical necessity means their need for full-time nursing services must be confirmed and provided by a licensed nurse.

Medicaid only covers room and board at Medicaid-contracted nursing facilities, which A Place for Mom doesn’t partner with. If the senior doesn’t require a nursing home level of care, they might be better suited for an assisted living community. If they require specialized care for memory loss, they would likely do best in a memory care community. Medicaid doesn’t cover rent at private senior care facilities, but it may cover nursing services provided within the private facility if the senior qualifies for a home and community based services (HCBS) Medicaid waiver.

Home and community based services (HCBS) waiver

If a senior wishes to remain in their place of residence while receiving necessary care services, they may benefit from Medicaid’s home and community based services (or HCBS) waiver program. The HCBS program enables seniors to receive care in their home or community, instead of an institutional setting like a nursing home. When a senior applies for Medicaid, the HHSC assesses their need for the HCBS program. Once approved, the HCBS waiver can be used anywhere a senior calls home, meaning it can be used in an assisted living or memory care facility. However, the agency providing the care services must contract with the senior’s managed care provider.^[04]

The home and community based services (or HCBS) waiver program can help cover the following services in the senior’s place of residence:^[05]

Personal care
Medical supplies
Dental services
Adaptive aids, such as eyeglasses, hearing aids, orthotic devices, and orthopedic shoes
Nursing services
Respite care
Cognitive rehabilitation therapy
Rehabilitative care, like physical, occupational, and speech therapies
Hospice care

To qualify for the home and community based services waiver, seniors must meet the following requirements:^[06,07]

Be 65 years of age or older.
Require an institutional level of care, typically found in a nursing home.
Have a monthly income of less than $2,742 individually or $5,484 as a couple.

Not all senior care facilities in Fort Worth qualify as an HCBS setting, so be sure to check with prospective communities if you plan to use Medicaid to pay for on-site care services. Qualifying facilities must do the following:^[04]

Be integrated into a greater community.
Provide opportunities for interested residents to seek work or volunteer.
Help an interested senior engage in local community life.
Allow the senior to control their personal resources.
Allow the senior to receive Medicaid care services.

Fort Worth offers several Medicaid resources throughout the city. Below, you’ll find some search tools that can help you access local Medicaid services, find websites to learn more about Medicaid and apply online. The HHSC also offers numerous programs through their local area agencies on aging for seniors 60+, as well as other long-term care programs for low-income seniors and seniors with a disability.

A Place for Mom guide to Medicare, Medicaid, and long-term care

Medicare

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance to adults 65+ and individuals with disabilities. It covers skilled nursing care costs with Medicare-contracted nursing homes for a limited time. In Texas, Medicare may fully cover up to 20 days in a Medicare-certified nursing home or skilled nursing facility and may partially cover up to 100 days. Medicare is no longer responsible for payments after the 100-day limit.^[08]

Here’s a brief overview of what Medicare can cover along with some programs that can help your loved one save on Medicare costs and apply for benefits:

The Texas Medicare Savings Program helps cover some Medicare Parts A and B deductibles, premiums, copayments, and/or coinsurance. Part A covers hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home health care services. Part B covers certain doctors’ services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services. Seniors must meet certain income requirements to qualify for this program.
The Kidney Health Care program covers costs for some treatments, surgeries, medicines, and premiums for Texas residents with end-stage renal disease.
The Texas Legal Services Center houses the Health Information, Counseling, and Advocacy Program and the Legal Hotline for Texans, which both offer Medicare assistance to eligible seniors.

Below, you’ll find Medicare applications and a services search to help you find a Medicare office in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. For additional assistance with your eligible benefits and enrollment, you can contact your local long-term care (LTC) ombudsman. An ombudsman advocates for the health care rights of assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing facility residents. They also help families learn about senior care options and payment methods in their area.

Families can also reach out to the Area Agency on Aging of Tarrant County, which helps local seniors access the long-term care services they need. It provides aging-friendly programs, benefits counseling, long-term care coordination, caregiver support, and referrals to aging Fort Worth residents.

Understand Texas laws and regulations for nursing homes

In Texas, all senior care facilities — nursing home, assisted living, and memory care facilities — are licensed and regulated by Texas Health and Human Services (also known as HHS or HHSC). Facilities must be licensed before they start providing housing and care services to residents. Furthermore, if a nursing home or senior care facility wishes to accept Medicaid or Medicare, it must be certified by the HHS to do so.

Here’s a brief outline of the licensing and certification requirements for Texas nursing homes and senior care facilities:

Resident admission processes

Using a doctor’s order, skilled nursing facilities must craft a person-centered care plan for each resident. Care plans must account for each resident’s dietary, social, psychological, and other daily care needs.
In assisted living and memory care facilities, a similar procedure must be followed, except facilities are not required to have a doctor’s order for care plans. Administrators will typically use family guidance, which might also include physician recommendations. For memory care facilities, a specialized admissions process must be in place to confirm a resident’s need for memory care services.

Management and staffing requirements

Texas nursing homes and skilled nursing units are required to have licensed nurses, certified nursing assistants, nurse aids, and registered nurses on staff. They must also meet specific staff-to-resident ratios, i.e., one on-site nurse for every 20 residents at all times.
Assisted living facilities must have an on-site, full-time manager to oversee the facility’s day-to-day operation. These managers are required to complete at least one 24-hour assisted living management course while their staff must complete 16 hours of supervised, on-the-job training.
Memory care facility managers and staff members must continually participate in specialized memory care training in order to remain a licensed memory care facility.

Health and safety standards

A certified skilled nursing facility in Texas must meet design, construction, and equipment standards that support the health and safety of residents, staff, and visitors. For example, each facility must have safety equipment and emergency procedures for accidents, fires, or power outages. All facilities must also allow for safe access to fresh air and common areas for activities.
Both assisted living and memory care facilities are required to have similar health and safety standards in place as nursing facilities.
Memory care facilities must have additional measures in place to prevent residents from harming themselves or wandering. Memory care facilities must also designate an activities director to encourage socialization among residents. This director must tailor activities based on each memory care resident’s specific abilities and arrange for special equipment, so all residents can participate in activities.^[09,10]

Texas senior care facility inspections

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission performs inspections on all skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care facilities. These inspections take place approximately every two years, and they check for a facility’s compliance with Texas’ life safety code and health code.^[11]

The health code and life safety code require nursing homes and senior care facilities to regulate the following:^[11]

Sufficient staff-to-resident ratios
Employee background checks
Management of the facility
General construction of the facility
Implementation of safety and emergency features
Protection from hazardous areas
Documentation of fire drills, system checks, etc.

You can access a licensed community’s most recent inspection report and general facility information through the Texas Health and Human Services’ Long-term Care Provider Search. You can also email rsltcr.recordsmgmt@hhsc.state.tx.us to request any information not found on the site.

Nursing home quality monitoring in Texas

In an effort to continually enhance the quality of care provided in Texas nursing homes, the Health and Human Services Commission implemented a Quality Monitoring Program (or QMP) to monitor nursing facilities with a history of deficiencies. QMP reviews are conducted by nurses, pharmacists, and dieticians. They may recommend changes to policies or procedures, conduct staff trainings, offer technical assistance, and educate staff about evidence-based best practices during their visits to facilities.

Families can also visit the federal Medicare website to compare and contrast local nursing home ratings, staffing practices, and overall quality of Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes.

COVID-19 regulations for Fort Worth nursing homes

Fort Worth currently doesn’t have any COVID-19 regulations specific to nursing homes or senior care facilities. However, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission does require all care facilities to set their own infection prevention and control measures. This is so facilities take accountability to prevent the spread of all common diseases and infections, including COVID-19. A senior care or skilled nursing facility’s infection prevention and control measures may include guidelines on the following:

Staff hygiene practices
Disinfection and sterilization techniques
Use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
Safe injection methods
Physical distancing requirements

Because communities set their own regulations, it’s best to check with your prospective community about what measures they’re taking to protect residents against common infections. You can also visit the COVID-19 informational page on the Fort Worth website to find regular updates regarding local risk levels, testing, vaccinations, and more.

What to expect from nursing homes in Fort Worth

Fort Worth has many initiatives in place to be more aging-friendly and dementia-friendly for current and future seniors. For instance, the city enacted an action plan called Age-Friendly Fort Worth. This initiative aims to increase the quality of life for seniors through enhanced services, resources, and opportunities. Fort Worth has also joined the nationwide Dementia Friendly America network — to create Dementia Friendly Fort Worth. This initiative inspires Fort Worth businesses, organizations, and institutions to offer dementia-friendly accommodations.

Seniors and their families have a range of skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities to choose from in Fort Worth. And, for seniors who don’t require 24-hour medical care, Fort Worth offers several other senior care community options. In fact, seniors can find specialized communities for their unique care needs, with options like assisted living and memory care.

Below, you’ll learn how our partner senior care communities in Fort Worth compare to typical nursing homes. You’ll also find that assisted living and memory care communities can accommodate a variety of lifestyles and can even provide for some nursing care needs.

Skilled nursing for seniors with serious medical conditions

Seniors can expect the highest level of medical care outside of a hospital in Fort Worth nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities. Skilled nursing facilities employ doctors and nurses that can attend to patients’ medical needs 24 hours a day. Although A Place for Mom doesn’t partner with stand-alone nursing homes, we do partner with a few continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) in Fort Worth. These CCRCs offer a full range of senior care options on one campus, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing services.

Seniors can typically find the following in Fort Worth nursing homes or CCRCs:

24-hour licensed nursing care services
24-hour emergency response systems
Rehabilitative care (speech, occupational, and physical therapy)
Restorative therapy
Pain management and wound care
Hospice care
Medication management
Common areas and activity rooms
Three meals and snacks daily
Wellness programming (health education and fitness activities)

Assisted living for seniors without 24-hour medical care needs

If a senior doesn’t require 24-hour medical supervision, they may benefit more from the personalized services available at Fort Worth assisted living communities. Not only are these communities substantially more affordable, they help seniors to live a socially fulfilled and comfortable life of convenience. Assisted living senior care communities in our Fort Worth network typically provide the following comprehensive services:

Assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs)
Personal care services
Three meals and snacks daily
Housekeeping and laundry services
Standard nursing services

Residents can also expect to find the following types of on-site nursing services at Fort Worth assisted living senior care communities:

Vitals monitoring (body temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure, etc.)
Medication management
Diabetic care
Urinary or bowel incontinence management
Dental care
Podiatry
Hospice care
Rehabilitative care, like physical, occupational, and physical therapies

Fort Worth assisted living facilities are ideal for seniors seeking to stay active and engaged within a community environment. Senior residents benefit from on-site wellness programs and life-enriching, on-site amenities and activities. Activity programs at our partner DFW senior care communities typically include an array of activities, like the following:

Fitness classes
Holiday parties and happy hours
Arts and crafts classes
Educational speakers
Group games
Various wellness therapies
Singing and musical performances
Interest clubs

You can also expect generous amenities at our partner Fort Worth senior care facilities. Here are some of the typical amenities one can find at these facilities:

Fitness centers and pools
Libraries and business centers
Courtyards, gardens, and walking paths
Outside BBQ areas
Game and activity rooms
TV lounges
Theaters
Private and restaurant-style dining rooms

Memory care for seniors with dementia

Memory care communities in Fort Worth offer the same types of services and amenities as assisted living senior care facilities, with additional security measures in place for individuals with dementia. Some memory care facilities will also have a skilled nursing unit or offer skilled nursing services on-site. This is to prevent the need for relocation in the event the person with dementia requires rehab or hospice. Keep in mind that these facilities may not always admit a new resident if they already require skilled nursing services. This is one reason why it’s important to choose your loved one’s ideal community sooner rather than later.

Read on for some other features specific to licensed memory care facilities in Texas:

Memory care facility staff should personalize services and activities to their residents a bit more than general senior care. This is to accommodate the unique needs that come with a dementia diagnosis.
Licensed memory care facilities or memory care units in Texas require staff to undergo specialized training in dementia care. This ensures all staff with 1-1 interactions with residents are trained to understand and approach common dementia behaviors and symptoms.
Most of our memory care partners in Fort Worth are also built with intentional design features that enable specialized programming for dementia patients.
Programs include activities for a range of mobility and cognitive levels. Therapeutic programs enable residents to reminisce, with a variety of activities designed to cherish past memories or create new, meaningful memories.
Facilities will typically host similar activities and events as other senior care communities, though memory care focuses more on musical events, movie nights, brain-stimulating games, and other activities that support cognitive health and well-being.

Transportation for seniors in Fort Worth

Almost all of our partner senior care communities offer complimentary or at-cost transportation services to residents, or they connect residents to reliable ride programs in the area. It’s important to note that some communities may limit transportation services to medical appointments and essential errands.

Seniors in need of public transportation options can utilize nonprofit transportation services in Tarrant County for routine medical appointments, shopping trips, and other essential errands. Senior Medicaid recipients can also schedule rides using the medical transportation program provided by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. If going the public transportation route, please ensure that your senior loved one is accompanied by a caregiver.

Visiting friends and family who don’t drive can use Tarrant County’s public transportation system, Trinity Metro, to get around Fort Worth to visit their loved ones. Trinity Metro offers buses, trains, and rideshare options.
