Senior Care Dallas ® Aging Gracefully

It was a very nice lunch but as I got up to exit the restaurant I overheard an elderly gentlemen say to a friend it is a shame I can’t bear for her to spent the remainder of her life in a nursing home alone and miserable.

 I want to know if home care is not out in the press enough. Do people know about in home care or not? The price is the same if not cheaper.

Looking Senior Care in Dallas outside the traditional nursing home?

When looking for care there are two very important things to ask before you move forward.

1. Are you licensed by the state of Texas? (It is required by Texas State Law that all In -Home Personal Assistant services be licensed by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability
2. How long have you been in business? ( many companies all over Texas are popping up rushing to take care of seniors because they have heard this is the field to be in. Your interest is not on lining pockets but making sure you find a strong stable company that can provide you with the care and the dependability of a seasoned company and the resources to pay your caregiver.)

Did you know you can stay in your home and have one on one care for the same cost of living in a nursing home?

So why would anyone want to go live in a nursing home?
