Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Red Oak may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Red Oak care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Red Oak, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
You may also consider nearby communities such as DeSoto, Cedar Hill or Pecan Hill.

Residential Care Home
A Place for Mom (or Dad) in my case did a FANTASIC job listening and helping me find the right place for him. Now he is at New Era Assisted Living and lilian is taking great care of him.
I fell in love with the owner and her mom just after speaking with her a short while about Abby’s Place. This is NOT my first Rodeo. About six years ago, we found a care home for my Grandmother it was the best decision, she lived there for her for years. I called a place for momMy. I wanted only a care home. A place for mom scores are based on a compile of reviews on the internet in the past 24 months however, one must look at reviews beyond that due To Covid due to some places were not taking in new clients or decided not to operate. therefore one must read reviews beyond the 24 months. I would never be putting my Aunt in ANY type of nursing/Assisted living home!! My choice was Abby’s place. Auntie has Dementia but with no other health issues Dr. says she could have many years at Abby’s. I know Care Homes are THE BEST place for a loved one from experience. Abby’s Place

The average cost of senior living in Red Oak is 3,170 per month. Cheaper nearby regions include Garrett, TX with an average of 2,326 per month.
Planning ahead can better position you to make good choices for your loved one’s care in the future. But if your aging family member needs care now, there are ways to finance the cost of long-term care through a combination of approaches.
Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management. Although residential care homes vary significantly depending on the community, services usually include:
This small but growing suburban community on the southern edge of the Dallas–Fort Worth area offers a quiet retirement at a safe distance from the big-city congestion and high living costs of the metropolis to the north.
In Red Oak, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
The cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly. However, the median monthly cost of assisted living in 2020 was about $4,400 in the Dallas–Fort Worth area and $4,000 in the state of Texas, according to Genworth. To learn more about the cost of care homes in Red Oak, contact A Place for Mom’s Senior Living Advisors.
The total household expenses associated with living in Red Oak are rated seven points above the national average. Grocery and other essential costs are also rated slightly higher than the average.
