Monticello West

5114 Mckinney Ave, Dallas, TX 75205
Overview of Monticello West

Monticello West offers assisted living and memory care in Dallas, TX. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps an apartment, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Because both care levels are available, Monticello West may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

Housing options include studios, one-bedroom residences, and two-bedroom residences, giving a single resident a private living space and allowing a couple to move into a two-bedroom home. A Walk Score of 78 places the area in the very walkable band, so most errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Pets are allowed, so residents may bring a pet with them. Thomas Marks serves as administrator, and Lcs-Mw operates the community.

Overview of The Villages of Dallas

The Villages of Dallas offers nursing home care, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Dallas, Texas. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care.

Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision, and skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock. With these care levels available in one community, The Villages of Dallas may suit a resident whose needs grow over time and who may be able to move between levels without leaving the community.

The community has 160 beds. That size accommodates more residents, staff, and usually more programming than a smaller community.

In house therapy and rehabilitation services allow residents to receive therapy at the community rather than arranging transportation elsewhere. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 11 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident.

Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay. Medicaid can help cover a long stay when personal savings may not be sufficient, Medicare covers short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, and private pay means the family pays directly.

The community is operated by Eastland Memorial Hospital District. A Walk Score of 68 places the area in a somewhat walkable setting, where some errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to manage certain nearby trips independently.

Texas Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Texas) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
