What is the difference between assisted living and memory care in Dallas?

Assisted living is an HHSC-licensed residence that provides housing, meals, medication help and personal care; memory care in Texas is assisted living delivered in a secured unit by a facility that holds an HHSC Alzheimer's certification. Texas has no separate memory care license, and a facility may not advertise that it specializes in Alzheimer's or dementia care unless it holds that certification.

Assisted living is...Memory care is...
Who it servesAdults who need help with bathing, dressing, medications or meals but can live in an open buildingPeople with Alzheimer's or another dementia who may wander, exit-seek or need constant cueing

What makes this directory different from senior living websites?

Every entry comes from the state record, not from a paid listing: the HHSC license number, Type A or Type B license, licensed beds, first-licensed date, Alzheimer's certification, last inspection date and any administrative penalty. 39 of the 449 assisted living facilities have an HHSC penalty on their record, and we show it.

How do I use the directory to find care for a parent?

Pick the care type, filter by county or city, and open the HHSC record of each facility on your shortlist. If you want help, call (817) 225-3951 or use the chat; a local advisor will compare options and openings for free.

Data source + refresh cadence

Every listing is a facility with an active license from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), Long-Term Care Regulation, in Dallas, Collin, Denton, Rockwall, Kaufman and Ellis counties (Tarrant County is covered by our Fort Worth site).

We re-pull the HHSC files and TULIP records monthly. We do not rate or rank facilities and nothing here is paid placement. Last updated: October 24, 2026. Something out of date? Tell us on the contact page.
