A small town of almost 11,000 with approximately 3,300 seniors aged 65 and older, Granbury is about an hour and a half west of Dallas and under an hour from Fort Worth. The more rural quality of Granbury, combined with its proximity to the health care and amenities provided in the larger cities, makes it an attractive choice for retirees.
Granbury has a high SeniorScore of 80, six points higher than the Texas score of 74 and eight points higher than the national score of 72. Designed to help seniors and their loved ones evaluate a location’s senior-relevant qualities, SeniorScore uses four categories to organize factors that matter to seniors. Of these, Granbury scored highest in the General Quality of Life category due to warmer winters, low rainfall and sparse population density. In the Recreation & Leisure category, the city also scored well, a result of the high percentage of seniors living in the area. Despite its more rural location, Granbury still features dozens of golf courses, parks and places of worship from which to choose.
Although the city sales tax is high, property taxes are much lower than elsewhere, and there is no state income tax. At the same time, wages are higher in Granbury, and home care costs are a little less than average, at $4,385, leading to an overall lower cost of living. Fewer health care resources in the city brought down its Health & Safety score to 54, as did the high property crime. Still, violent crime rates remain low, and despite a smaller number of Medicare-registered physicians or local hospitals, there are numerous home health care providers.
This guide provides an overview of home care, as well as an overview of costs in Granbury and other Texas cities. The listing of local resources can be useful for elders and their loved ones in finding the most pertinent resources to help seniors live with freedom and safety at home for as long as possible.

Home health care typically costs more than home care because it requires the services of licensed professionals who can help seniors with medical needs.
