Where we work in Lakewood
Lakewood is the heart of East Dallas: the streets between Gaston Avenue and White Rock Lake, with Abrams Road running through the middle and the Lakewood Shopping Center at Gaston and Abrams as its front porch. Around it sit the M Streets and Greenland Hills to the west, Hollywood Heights and Junius Heights to the south, and the lake neighborhoods of 75218 to the east.
That is the 75214, 75206 and 75218 ZIP codes. Our caregivers who serve East Dallas drive Gaston, Abrams, Mockingbird and Garland Road every week, so a morning start on Lakewood Boulevard or a same-day extra shift near the lake is realistic.
Lakewood homes, and what care looks like inside them
Lakewood's houses are the reason people move here and the reason they never leave: Tudors, Spanish revivals and colonials from the 1920s and 1930s with original hardwood, arched doorways, small bathrooms and, very often, a staircase. Some of our clients have lived in the same house for fifty years.
Old houses are wonderful and unforgiving. Polished wood floors, a step between rooms, a bathroom too narrow for a walker, and a bedroom upstairs each become part of the care plan after a fall or a hospital stay. A caregiver's first job is often just to be beside your parent on the stairs and in the shower until the physical therapist says otherwise.
For a parent with dementia, the familiar house is the therapy. We keep the routine in the rooms they know, the coffee in the same cup, the chair by the same window, and bring calm to the late afternoon when confusion tends to rise.
Not sure what your parent needs yet?
That is what the free assessment is for. Ryan comes to the house in Lakewood, listens, and writes the first plan with you. No obligation, no sales script, usually the same day or the next morning.
Hospitals Lakewood families discharge from
Baylor University Medical Center is a few minutes down Gaston Avenue, and it is where most of our Lakewood families' hospital stays happen. Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas on Walnut Hill is the other frequent discharge, especially for families closer to Lake Highlands. Medical City Dallas is a longer drive up Central.
Call us from the hospital. We do the free assessment there, hear what the discharge planner and therapists recommend, and have a caregiver at the house when your parent arrives. We also sit with patients inside Baylor when the family cannot be there around the clock.
Discharge coming this week?
Call from the hospital room. We can do the assessment at the bedside, listen to the therapy team, and have a caregiver at the house in Lakewood the first night home. We answer 24/7.
Out and about in Lakewood
Errands stay close: the Lakewood Shopping Center for the grocery store and the pharmacy, the doctor at Baylor's medical offices on Gaston, the hairdresser on Abrams, and church on Sunday. A slow walk at White Rock Lake or an afternoon at the Dallas Arboretum on Garland Road is a good outing for someone who needs to keep moving and see people.
The caregiver drives, in your parent's car or their own. For a parent who has given up the keys, the outings are what keep the week from shrinking.
Choosing home care in Lakewood
East Dallas families often know a neighbor who hired a caregiver privately, and it can work until the caregiver is sick, on vacation or gone. Then the family is the employer, without a backup. Our caregivers are employees, background-checked, insured and supervised, and when one is out we send another who already has the care plan.
We publish the rate, $30-34 an hour, one flat rate at any hour, with a four-hour minimum. There is no levels-of-care pricing, so the rate does not rise as your parent's needs grow, and no contract. Major holidays bill at time and a half, and we tell you which days before you book.

Who you will meet first
Ryan Berry
Co-owner, Senior Care of North Texas · Texas License #020448
Ryan is one of the two local owners and the person who comes to your parent’s home in Lakewood for the free assessment. Hospital discharge planners, social workers and senior living staff across North Texas know him by name, and families call him directly when something about their care needs fixing.
The caregivers he introduces are the agency’s own employees, background-checked, insured and supervised, matched to your parent rather than pulled from a rotation. If the match is not right, you ask for a change and he makes it.

Lakewood questions, answered
Which parts of East Dallas do you cover?
Lakewood, the M Streets, Greenland Hills, Hollywood Heights, Junius Heights and the neighborhoods around White Rock Lake, in the 75214, 75206 and 75218 ZIP codes. Lake Highlands north of the lake is covered too and has its own page.
Our house is a 1920s Tudor with stairs. Can you work with that?
Yes. Stairs, small bathrooms and wood floors are the everyday reality of Lakewood care. The caregiver covers the stairs and the shower, and we can suggest a downstairs daytime setup until mobility improves.
Can you start when my mother leaves Baylor?
Yes. Baylor University Medical Center on Gaston is the hospital we discharge from most in East Dallas. We can meet you there before discharge and have a caregiver at the house the first night home.
What does home care cost in Lakewood?
$30-34 an hour, one flat rate day or night, with a four-hour minimum. No levels-of-care tiers, no contracts and no assessment fee. Major holidays are billed at time and a half.
Can a caregiver take my father to White Rock Lake or the Arboretum?
Yes. Driving and outings are part of the service. A walk at the lake or a morning at the Arboretum is a normal part of a Lakewood care plan for a parent who needs to keep moving.
Is this medical home health?
No. We are a licensed non-medical Personal Assistance Services agency, Texas License #020448. We handle daily living, not nursing, and we work alongside Medicare home health, therapists and hospice when they are involved.
