Residential care homes in Dallas may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Dallas care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Dallas, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Cedar Crest, North Dallas and Prestonwood.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Balch Springs, Carrollton or Cedar Hill.
Residential Care Home
Signature Pointe is a wonderful facility / community full of loving, caring, fun, wonderful, amazing people. The staff are the best and genuinely care about and love the residents, and vice versa. The staff and residents enjoy each other. It’s truly an amazing thing to be a part of. My father moved there during the summer and I’ve gotten to spend a significant amount of time there. I toured other communities and there was no comparison. I’m truly grateful for signature Pointe and especially for the people who work there. I’m also grateful to have gotten to know so many of the residents. They are truly wonderful and have welcomed my father (and I) with open arms. It just feels good when your there. Thank you all at Signature Pointe.
Read moreI toured Signature Pointe today, and everyone I met was absolutely a breath of fresh air. Between the staff and current residents, you can really tell how happy people are. Very clean when walking the halls, receptionist was very friendly, and it was peaceful. I’ll definitely have my mother here for rehab.

Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management. Although residential care homes vary significantly depending on the community, services usually include:
Residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
A Place for Mom’s local Senior Living Advisors can help find the right residential care home in Dallas for you or your loved one.
