Beyond finding a community, Dallas Senior Advisor points Dallas-area families to the free and low-cost resources that help an older adult stay safe and supported — whether they're aging at home or planning a move. Here's where to start across North Texas.
Core resources for North Texas seniors
- Dallas Area Agency on Aging (operated by The Senior Source): free options counseling, benefits screening, and caregiver support for Dallas County. The Area Agency on Aging of North Central Texas serves Collin, Denton, and Rockwall counties, and Texas 2-1-1 connects families statewide.
- Texas STAR+PLUS Medicaid: long-term care coverage for eligible seniors — see our Texas senior care hub.
- Veterans benefits: VA Aid & Attendance and the Dallas VA Medical Center; VA Caregiver Support Line 1-855-260-3274.
- Meals, transportation & senior centers: Meals on Wheels, non-emergency medical transport, and community senior centers throughout the metro.
- Verify a license: check any facility's HHSC record on the HHSC Long-Term Care Provider Search (apps.hhs.texas.gov) before you tour.
