According to the Texas Health Care Association, the Lone Star State has just over 2,000 assisted living properties. We expect that each one provides Texas hospitality, but how does a family settle on a location? We’re admittedly partial to South Fort Worth, home to The Grandview of Chisholm Trail. This city is in North Texas, where we’ve established a supportive, welcoming, long-term senior community.
Fort Worth has distinct districts with different personalities, like the Sundance District, The Historic Stockyards, and the Cultural District. Some of the better-known South Fort Worth neighborhoods include Bluebonnet, Colonial, Highland Hills, and Mira Vista. Our address is 8533 Brewer Blvd., right off Chisholm Trail Parkway.
Now that you know where we are, why do seniors love it here? South Fort Worth presents them with a warm climate, diverse cultural offerings, and a strong sense of belonging. But that’s only the beginning; here’s what else sets us apart.
What makes South Fort Worth assisted living so special?
Traveling from place to place is easy here; the city has a public transit system, including buses and rail, so seniors have accessible ways to get around. Fort Worth also boasts excellent medical facilities, including UT Southwestern Medical Center, as well as Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. And since the city is generally more affordable than other major Texas cities, particularly in terms of housing, it’s a good value for retirees.
Those essential services make daily life easier, but what really makes this area special is its attractions.
