Flower Mound, Texas, is one of the most desirable communities in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex for families navigating senior living decisions. Linda Clement, Certified Senior Advisor (CSA)®, Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP)®, and Certified Placement and Referral Specialist (CPRS), founder of Peace of Mind Senior Solutions in North Richland Hills, Texas, provides free, no-pressure guidance to families throughout the DFW area, including Flower Mound and the surrounding communities of Bartonville, Double Oak, Highland Village, and Lantana.
Flower Mound earned the distinction of being ranked the 37th best city to retire in the United States in 2026 by U.S. News and World Report, making it the only North Texas city in the top 50 on that list. That ranking reflects what families already know: Flower Mound offers an exceptional combination of quality healthcare access, strong community character, low crime, and the financial stability that comes with one of the region’s highest median household incomes. When the time comes to think about assisted living or memory care for a parent, Flower Mound families are often relieved to find that strong options are close to home.
About Flower Mound: What Makes It a Strong Senior Living Market
Flower Mound is a town in Denton County with a 2026 population of approximately 81,700 residents. The median age is 43.5 years, and approximately 9,900 residents are seniors age 65 and older, representing about 12 percent of the total population. That senior population is growing as the original homeowners who moved to Flower Mound during its rapid growth in the 1980s and 1990s age in place and eventually need additional support.
The community’s financial profile is one of the strongest in North Texas. The median household income in Flower Mound is approximately $161,000 to $165,000, more than twice the national median. Home values have a median of around $552,000. That economic base means Flower Mound families approaching senior living decisions often have more financial resources available than families in other parts of DFW, though the cost of senior living in the area also reflects the community’s overall cost of living.
Flower Mound’s location provides excellent access to medical care. Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Flower Mound is located on Long Prairie Road, the same corridor where several of the community’s primary senior living options are situated. Medical City Lewisville and a range of specialty medical practices serve the area, giving seniors and their families confidence that healthcare resources are close at hand.
Senior Living Options in Flower Mound TX
Flower Mound has a well-developed senior living market with options ranging from boutique residential-style homes to larger full-service communities offering both assisted living and memory care on a single campus. Here is an overview of the primary communities serving Flower Mound families.
Avanti Senior Living at Flower Mound
Avanti Senior Living is located at 4041 Long Prairie Road, less than a mile from Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Flower Mound. The community offers both assisted living and memory care, and is known for its design-forward aesthetic and amenity-rich environment. Avanti’s memory care program uses a clinically informed approach called I’m Still Here, which focuses on engagement and reducing behavioral symptoms through personalized interaction and programming rather than relying primarily on medication management. The community’s TASTE Restaurant serves restaurant-style dining prepared by a professional culinary team. Avanti serves families from Flower Mound, Grapevine, Southlake, Denton, and Carrollton.
Rosewood Assisted Living and Memory Care
Rosewood, part of the Legend Senior Living family, is located at 4141 Long Prairie Road, directly across from Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Flower Mound. The community serves up to 86 residents in assisted living and memory care. Rosewood’s location near Robertsons Creek Shopping Center and The Marketplace at Highland Village provides residents with convenient access to familiar retail and dining options. The community provides companion care, around-the-clock personal care, transportation to medical appointments, and a full schedule of cultural, educational, and social programming.
The Oaks at Flower Mound
The Oaks at Flower Mound is located at 3281 Long Prairie Road and is operated by Spectrum Retirement Communities. The community offers assisted living and memory care and has built a long-standing reputation in the Flower Mound market. Memory care residents live in the secured Cottage wing, where staff-to-resident ratios are designed to provide personalized, attentive care. The community’s My Legacy and Ageless Grace programs keep residents engaged through life enrichment activities. Family reviews consistently highlight the quality of the staff and the warm, residential feel of the community.
Mustang Creek Estates Flower Mound
Mustang Creek Estates offers a distinctly different model from the larger campus communities. Rather than a traditional assisted living building, Mustang Creek operates a neighborhood of six residential-style homes on a wooded campus in Flower Mound, with four dedicated to assisted living and two to memory care. The smaller household model, with fewer residents per home, appeals to families whose loved ones may feel overwhelmed in a larger community setting. The campus is described as having a nature preserve feel, with significant tree cover and preservation of landscaping. This is the flagship location for Mustang Creek Estates.
Signature Pointe
Signature Pointe has served the Flower Mound area for more than 20 years and is known for its longevity in the local market. The community uses the Heartfelt Connections memory care program, a trademarked dementia care model focused on preserving dignity and maintaining meaningful engagement throughout all stages of the disease. Signature Pointe incorporates virtual reality through MyndVR technology to stimulate cognitive engagement and offers art therapy, gardening, and a full schedule of structured activities. A certified dietitian oversees the dining program.
Cost of Senior Living in Flower Mound, TX
Senior living costs in Flower Mound reflect the community’s overall cost of living and tend to run somewhat higher than the DFW average. Understanding the realistic cost range helps families set accurate financial expectations for planning.
Assisted living in Flower Mound typically ranges from approximately $3,800 to $6,500 per month for a private suite, depending on the community, the level of care required, and the apartment size. Memory care in Flower Mound generally ranges from approximately $4,500 to $7,500 per month, with some premium communities reaching higher depending on care needs. The average cost of memory care in the Flower Mound market has been reported at approximately $5,025 per month for a single-occupancy apartment based on available market data.
These figures represent base rates and can increase as care needs grow. It is common for assisted living costs to increase over time as a resident’s needs change, and families should understand the community’s care level pricing structure before signing a contract. One of the most important questions to ask during a tour is how care level increases are assessed and priced.
How to Pay for Senior Living in Flower Mound
Flower Mound families generally have more financial resources available than families in many other parts of DFW, but senior living costs can still represent a significant portion of retirement savings. Here is a practical overview of how families typically approach the financial side of this decision.
Private Pay
Most assisted living and memory care in Flower Mound begins as private pay, funded through a combination of Social Security income, retirement savings, investment accounts, pension income, and often the proceeds from selling a family home. Flower Mound’s strong home values mean that families selling a parent’s home may have more equity available than they initially expect.
Long-Term Care Insurance
Flower Mound’s higher-income demographics mean that long-term care insurance coverage is more common here than in some other markets. If a parent purchased a long-term care policy, reviewing the policy terms early in the search process is essential. Benefits, elimination periods, and inflation protection provisions vary significantly between policies.
VA Aid and Attendance
Veterans and surviving spouses who qualify for the VA Aid and Attendance benefit can receive monthly payments to help offset the costs of senior living. In 2026, the maximum benefit for a single veteran is $2,424 per month, for a married veteran is $2,874 per month, and for a surviving spouse is $1,558 per month. The actual payment equals the Maximum Annual Pension Rate minus countable income, with unreimbursed medical expenses reducing countable income. Applications can take several months to over a year to process, so families should begin the application process as early as possible.
Texas Medicaid STAR+PLUS
The Texas Medicaid STAR+PLUS waiver program can cover assisted living or memory care costs for individuals who meet both financial and medical eligibility requirements. Given Flower Mound’s higher income and asset levels, Medicaid eligibility is less common here than in some other markets, but it remains a resource worth understanding. Consulting with a Texas elder law attorney before making any asset transfers in anticipation of Medicaid is strongly recommended.
What to Look for When Touring Senior Living Communities in Flower Mound
Every community in Flower Mound looks impressive on a tour, but knowing what to look for to determine the best fit for your loved one can be overwhelming. The design, amenities, and sales presentation are carefully crafted to make a strong first impression. Here is what to look for beyond the surface during your visit.
- Spend time with the direct care staff, not just the sales team. Ask how long the average caregiver has worked at the community. Staff turnover is one of the strongest indicators of culture and quality.
- Walk through at an unscheduled time if possible, or visit during a mealtime. The energy during daily routines tells you more than the tour.
- Ask specifically how care level increases are assessed and priced. The base rate is rarely the final rate, and understanding the pricing structure protects your family from unexpected cost increases.
- For memory care specifically, ask about the staff-to-resident ratio on each shift, including overnight. Ask how the community handles behavioral symptoms and what its approach to medication management is.
- Ask to speak with a family member of a current resident if possible. First-hand family experience is the most valuable reference you can get.
- Review the most recent state inspection report. Texas Health and Human Services Commission inspection records are public and can reveal patterns in care quality or staffing that are not visible on a tour.
