Our Story

Senior Living Specialists is based on the experience that Paul went through with his Mom, Betty.

Friends and family noticed that Betty was starting to show a decline in short-term memory and was losing things.  Unfortunately, neurological tests came back 90% conclusive that Betty has early stages of Alzheimer’s disease at the young age of 59.

Immediately, Paul and his family recognized the need to intervene.  Having to make a decision in transitioning Betty to  a Senior Living Dallas TX area Facility or a Dallas Assisted Living Facility was unchartered waters for Paul.  The work and time constraints were overwhelming. Faced with so many options, which Dallas Senior Living Facility and level of care was the right one for Betty?  What was the difference between Dallas Assisted Living Facilities and Dallas Assisted Living Homes?  Paul could not find a consultant that he could relate to as they were expensive, impersonal and could not provide conclusive recommendations and advice.

Having gone through this process, Paul saw the need for a truly passionate, knowledgeable advisory service which would put the needs of the family first, and get things done efficiently. Subsequently, Senior Living Specialists was developed in May of 2009 to help families who are inexperienced and in need of advice in finding the best DFW Senior Living Facility for your loved one.

Senior Living Specialists personally knows the advantages and disadvantages of many Independent Living, Retirement Living, Assisted Living Facilities, Alzheimer’s facilities, Dementia Facilities, Alzheimer’s Homes, Dementia Care Homes, Nursing Homes and Skilled Nursing Facilities throughout the Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas surrounding areas which offer various levels of care and types of living arrangements.

We address the following criteria: level of care needed, type of living desired, location preference, financial budget, etc. Being there firsthand, we at Senior Living Specialists believe that our local knowledge and personal experience can best identify and accommodate the needs of your loved one. We are there for you throughout the entire process.

We look forward to working with you in making the experience as stress free and easy as possible.
