Six care types are available at The Plaza at Edgemere Health Care in Dallas, TX. They run from independent living through assisted living and memory care to nursing home care and skilled nursing, and respite care rounds out the set.

An apartment is what an assisted living resident has, plus help with bathing, getting dressed, and medicines. Licensed nurses staff the skilled nursing and nursing home levels at every hour.

The building has 129 beds, and a resident’s nursing time is 4 hours and 35 minutes a day. The location is somewhat walkable, 58 by Walk Score’s count, so a non-driving resident can walk to a few nearby errands.
