Safe, family-friendly Carrollton, Texas is a suburb of the busy Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex. Texas is a state with 380,000 diagnosed Alzheimer's patients, many of whom live in special memory care facilities with around-the-clock care. With over ten percent of the 136,000 Carrollton residents aged 65 and over, memory care patients and their families have plenty of options. There are three memory care facilities in Carrollton and hundreds in the metroplex to support the city's seniors with dementia and other cognitive impairments.
Texas designates memory care and dementia facilities as Class B facilities. Some assisted living communities may feature a dedicated memory care wing separate from the rest of the community. Licensing, regulation, and inspection of memory care facilities is under the purview of the Texas Department of Health and Senior Services.Â
