When trying to decide how to pay for assisted living, one of the first questions that comes up is "How much does it cost?" With the impact of inflation, it's more important than ever to have up-to-date information when making a financial plan for senior living. To help shed light on real senior living prices, Caring.com has compiled proprietary cost data from its network of more than 75,000 senior living providers to provide insight into the average cost of assisted living in Arlington and 134 other cities in Texas.
Low-income seniors in Arlington have access to three programs that can help cover the cost of assisted living: Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income and Texas Community Care for Aged/Disabled.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on ourAssisted Living in Texas page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:

As both statewide ($3,312) and national rates ($4,459) have also been impacted by inflation, in 2023, Arlington remains a less costly option, comparatively.

There are different costs associated with various types of senior living. While the cost of assisted living ($3,214) includes personal care and daily assistance, independent living is designed for seniors who can manage their own care needs. Therefore, rates are lower ($2,478). Memory care, on the other hand, offers more specialized care and programming, which results in rates that are around 16% higher than assisted living costs.
