Texas Dementia Resources for Families
A short list of trusted Texas starting points: 2-1-1, Area Agencies on Aging, Texas HHS, and Alzheimer's Association.
Texas has more dementia support than most families realize. Here is a short list of the most useful, mostly-free starting points.
2-1-1 Texas
Call 2-1-1 or visit 211texas.org. They connect callers to aging services, caregiver support, food, transportation, and benefits screening.
Area Agencies on Aging (AAA)
Local offices that help with caregiver support, respite, in-home services, and benefits counseling. Your AAA is one of the most useful resources you can find.
Texas HHS long-term care provider search
Look up licensed assisted living, memory care, and nursing facilities — including inspection history.
Alzheimer's Association
24/7 Helpline at 800-272-3900. Local chapters run support groups across Texas.
Long-Term Care Ombudsman
Advocates for residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Free and independent.
