How this list was screened
Only Texas assisted living facilities in Dallas and Tarrant counties were considered — licensed by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). Each included community met the bar on a screened enforcement record.
- Small board-and-care homes are included where they earn their place on a clean enforcement record — with staffing-stability and family-reference questions flagged for your tour.
- “From” prices are third-party snapshots and can exclude care charges, deposits and unit-specific fees.
- Verify the current license record on LTCSearch before deciding — every included community carries a license-verification flag noted on its card (LTCSearch was down on the research date).
- Value / Mid-level / Luxury tiers are assigned from verified pricing plus the screened record: Value communities are the “smart money” picks — quality at accessible prices; Mid-level is the broad middle of the market; Luxury requires premium positioning AND a clean enforcement record — expensive alone never qualifies (expensive ≠ excellent).
