If you can’t quite make up your mind about which topography you prefer, the Lone State may be the place for you. Texas boasts a wide variety of landscapes including hills, prairies, forests, mountains, beaches, bayous, canyons, and deserts. Sunny weather, low taxes, top-notch health care and a rich cultural heritage draw jetsetters and locals alike. In Texas, assisted living communities are licensed and regulated by the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS), and serve the second largest senior population in the nation.
