Most North Texas memory care sits in Type B buildings, because residents with dementia usually need help in an emergency.

Who is Brookdale Summer Ridge a good fit for?

How much does Brookdale Summer Ridge cost?
HHSC does not publish rates, and we do not list prices for individual facilities, so ask Brookdale Summer Ridge for its current written rate sheet and care-level fees. For context, assisted living in the Dallas metro typically runs $3,800 to $5,800 per month in 2026.
Paying for it: Texas Medicaid's STAR+PLUS Home and Community Based Services waiver can pay for care services in a participating assisted living facility, but not room and board. STAR+PLUS participation is contracted through the Medicaid managed care plans, not shown on the HHSC license, so ask Brookdale Summer Ridge directly whether it has open STAR+PLUS beds. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance. See our Rockwall assisted living cost guide.
