Helping Families to Find Private Residential Care Group Home Facilities in Dallas & Fort Worth TX
The average family that contacts Senior Living Specialists has usually never heard of the senior living option that I’ve mentioned above. The reason that most people have never heard of them or don’t know where they are located is because they aren’t on a major street corner, but located in a normal residential neighborhood in a house. About 30% of families that contact the Senior Living Specialists team move into Dallas Residential Care Homes either because somebody wants a small environment, needs more of the personal attention, doesn’t want to live in a skilled nursing facility, could be on hospice or somebody is in the middle to later stages of Alzheimer’s / Dementia or Parkinson’s. Why should you have to do this alone – let Senior Living Specialists assist you with finding the best fit for your family member in the DFW area so that you don’t have to waste your time touring homes that wouldn’t be the right fit or get taken advantage of?
What are Dallas Residential Care Homes?
These options can also be known as adult family homes, board and care homes, residential care or personal care homes that tend to offer more customized care to a smaller group of adults and seniors than a large facility. Each residential care home will provide lodging, meals and assistance with activities of daily living (medications, mobility transferring, etc). What separates each Group Home from one another are the owners of it, the staff, the services provided, the number of residents that can live in each environment and the type of care that can be provided. The most important thing that I tell families on how each Dallas TX Residential Care Homes are different from the large facility settings is the staff to resident ratio. The average staff to resident ratio in a group home tends to be 1 (caregiver) to 4 (residents). The average staff to resident ratios tends to be much higher (1 caregiver to 9 residents – minimum) in a larger facility setting.
Dallas Private Group Homes: “The Looks”
The advantage to Dallas Private Group Homes is that they provide a smaller, more home-like family setting for adults and seniors in a residential house setting located in a neighborhood. A nice thing about the home like settings is the size of them as they aren’t too large (2500 – 4000 sq ft) and tends to be beneficial to a resident if they do have mobility issues. There are typically between 4 to 8 residents that will live in each one and families are able to see that there is a lot more personalized care provided due to the number of residents versus being in a large facility setting.
Cost of Dallas Residential Care Homes
Living in a residential care home has its advantage as you’ve seen from above depending on the care needs of the individual. One of the first questions that families often ask is: what is the range of cost of Dallas Residential Care Homes. The price will vary depending on the location, type of room (private or semi-private) chosen and possibly services needed. The range in cost that I see for a care home is usually between $2,600 – $4,500.
