Deer Creek Senior Living
Deer Creek Senior Living is a licensed residential care community in DeSoto, Texas, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite services. Operated by De Soto Senior Living, Inc. with a Type B license in Dallas County, this 58-bed community provides a care structure that allows older adults to access varying levels of support within one location. Medicaid is also accepted, which can help families plan long-term care arrangements in the Dallas area. 24-hour staffing, along with on-site security and surveillance systems, also provides a secure and supportive residential environment.
The most recent state inspection, completed on June 17, 2021, resulted in one Health Code citation related to administrative compliance requirements involving annual searches of the National Practitioner Data Bank and Employee Misconduct Registry. The issue was corrected by July 10, 2021. Additionally, no Life Safety Code violations or enforcement actions were reported, which compares favorably with statewide averages for assisted living communities in Texas.
A variety of amenities and lifestyle services are designed to encourage comfort, independence, and social connection, featuring restaurant-style dining with chef-prepared meals, a beauty salon and barber shop, library, gardens, walking paths, outdoor grilling areas, and pet-friendly spaces. Private bathrooms with adjustable thermostats, guest accommodations, on-site laundry services, and optional in-room dining further support convenience and personal choice. Fitness classes, organized outings, and a full calendar of activities are also available to help residents remain active and engaged.
Deer Creek Senior Living is well-suited for older adults seeking a moderately sized community with flexible care options, memory care support, and Medicaid accessibility in DeSoto and the greater southern Dallas area, particularly those who value both independence and meaningful daily engagement.
