What On-Site Health Care Through Healthy Me Clinic Means for Your Family

Life in Azle has always meant mornings by Eagle Mountain Lake and a small-town pace with Fort Worth close enough when you need it. When health needs start to grow, though, that 14- to 17-mile drive to Fort Worth gets longer.

A single specialist visit can mean gas money, a long wait, and an adult child taking half a day off work to drive a parent to the appointment.

For a family managing a fixed-income retirement, those trips add up fast. Every family weighing a move to senior living in Azle, TX, asks the same two questions: what this costs each month, and what happens when health needs change.

At Legacy Oaks of Azle Senior Living, residents have access to on-site health care through the Healthy Me Clinic. Regular medical care happens inside the community, and families get a clearer picture of what health care will cost from month to month.

How the Healthy Me Clinic Fits Into a Fixed-Income Retirement

Dr. Hani Yousif, MD, FACP, a board-certified internist, leads the Healthy Me Clinic and provides proactive, on-site care for residents in independent living, assisted living, and memory care. His experience caring for patients throughout Azle means he already knows the community he serves.

Planning a fixed-income retirement means accounting for every recurring expense, and health care is often the hardest one to predict. A fixed income for retirement stays the same even when medical visits become more frequent.

Bringing routine care to the resident keeps more of those visits close to home and easier to plan around.

What the Healthy Me Clinic Covers On-Site

Residents can access these services without leaving the community:

• Weekly primary care visits with Dr. Yousif and his team
• Ongoing management of chronic conditions, including diabetes and high blood pressure
• Mental health support
• Remote patient and therapeutic monitoring
• Annual memory testing with the Evoke Test
• Home sleep studies
• Preventive screenings and wellness exams
• Lab and imaging services
• Wound care
• Coordination and referrals for specialty care

Residents see a familiar provider for the visits that used to mean a trip across town. Annual memory testing also gives residents a chance to spot changes early and make their own plans while they can lead those decisions.

Additional On-Site Support at Legacy Oaks of Azle

Beyond the clinic, residents can receive physical, occupational, and speech therapy on-site through our partnership with Select Rehabilitation. Independent living residents who want extra help at home can also arrange private duty care services through our partnership with Family Tree Private Care.

What Still Requires an Outside Visit

Some health needs fall outside what an on-site clinic can provide, and knowing which ones helps families plan with real numbers.

Hospital-level emergencies still mean a trip to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle, just minutes away. Surgery, hospital admission, and specialist care that requires equipment beyond what the clinic offers also happen outside the community.

When an outside visit is necessary, the Healthy Me Clinic coordinates referrals directly, so families have help scheduling specialists and sharing information between providers.

Understanding Senior Health Care Costs at Legacy Oaks of Azle

Managing senior health care costs is one of the biggest open questions in retirement planning. A person retiring at age 65 in 2026 can expect to spend an average of $185,500 on health care and medical expenses throughout retirement, according to Fidelity Investments’ 25th annual Retiree Health Care Cost Estimate.

That figure assumes Medicare coverage and does not include long-term care. Fidelity also found that 54% of pre-retirees mistakenly believe Medicare will cover all their health expenses.

Transportation adds costs that rarely show up on a budget. About 3.6 million people in the U.S. go without medical care each year because of transportation barriers, and transportation ranks as the third leading cause of missed medical appointments among seniors, according to the American Hospital Association.

What Families Pay at Legacy Oaks of Azle

Managing senior health care costs starts with knowing which expenses stay predictable. Legacy Oaks of Azle has no community fees and no long-term contracts.

• Independent living starts at $3,610 per month
• Assisted living starts at $4,690 per month
• Memory care starts at $6,050 per month

Questions to Ask About Health Care Costs

• Ask which Healthy Me Clinic services your insurance covers
• Ask whether private duty care or therapy services carry separate charges
• Ask how your monthly rate changes if care needs increase
• Ask for every number in writing so you can review it at home

With clear answers to these questions, you can plan your budget around real numbers and focus on the care each resident receives day to day.

Personalized Care Plans Built Around Your Needs

Health support begins with a care plan built around each resident. Dr. Yousif and his team work closely with residents to diagnose and treat health concerns, evaluate medication side effects, monitor ongoing conditions, and adjust care as needs change.

In many cases, this approach helps residents avoid unnecessary hospital visits or extended stays away from the community, because care starts sooner and recovery happens in a familiar setting.

A Medical Team Built on Trust in Azle, TX

Older adults deserve health providers who are experienced, caring, and easy to reach. Dr. Yousif and his team check in regularly and know residents by name, which matters when addressing a chronic condition or a new concern.

That familiarity also makes it easier to ask for help. Many Azle residents spent a lifetime handling things on their own, and a provider down the hall makes speaking up about a new symptom feel like a normal part of the week.

For couples living in different care levels, both spouses have access to the same clinic and the same team.
