How many independent living communities are listed on this page?

This page features 419 independent living communities in Texas. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right independent living community in Texas?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Texas, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting independent living communities in Texas?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered.
