The Park Cities, and which page covers your parent
The Park Cities are two separate towns surrounded by Dallas: Highland Park, from Turtle Creek and the Katy Trail north to Mockingbird Lane, and University Park, from Mockingbird Lane north to Northwest Highway, with SMU in its southeast corner. Each town has its own page on this site with its own details.
One team of caregivers serves both towns and Preston Hollow next door, so a family with a parent in Highland Park and a son or daughter in University Park deals with one agency, one rate and one care plan.
Highland Park or University Park: the details for each town
| Detail | Highland Park | University Park |
|---|---|---|
| ZIP codes | 75205, and 75219 along the creek | 75205 in the south, 75225 in the north |
| Boundaries | Turtle Creek and the Katy Trail to Mockingbird Lane | Mockingbird Lane to Northwest Highway, with SMU in the southeast corner |
| Landmarks on our routes | Highland Park Village, Lakeside Park, the town hall on Drexel | Snider Plaza, Caruth Park, SMU, Preston Center just across the town line |
| Hospitals nearby | UT Southwestern, Baylor University Medical Center, Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas | Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas, UT Southwestern, Baylor University Medical Center |
| What we plan around at home | Two-story houses with bedrooms upstairs; high-rises along Turtle Creek | Compact original houses with narrow bathrooms; large two-story rebuilds |
How to read this table: find your parent's town and read down its column. The rate, the four-hour minimum and the caregivers are the same in both towns; what changes is the house and the hospital, and that is what the care plan is written around.
Park Cities homes, and what care looks like inside them
Houses here run from compact originals of the 1920s to the 1950s to large rebuilds with the primary bedroom upstairs. In either kind, the assessment looks at the stairs, the bathroom, the step at the back door and the distance from bed to kitchen, because those decide where a caregiver needs to be.
Along Turtle Creek the setting changes to condominiums and high-rises with a concierge and an elevator, and the plan adds building access, parking and the walk to the dining room or the trail.
Not sure what your parent needs yet?
That is what the free assessment is for. Ryan comes to the house in Park Cities, listens, and writes the first plan with you. No obligation, no sales script, usually the same day or the next morning.
Hospitals Park Cities families come home from
Three major hospitals surround the Park Cities: Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas on Walnut Hill Lane to the north, UT Southwestern's Clements University Hospital on Harry Hines to the west, and Baylor University Medical Center on Gaston Avenue to the southeast. Most Park Cities discharges we handle come from one of them.
Call us while your parent is still in the hospital or in rehab. We can do the assessment there and have a caregiver at the house in Highland Park or University Park for the first night home.
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 Park Cities the first night home. We answer 24/7.

Park Cities families tend to care most about who exactly will be in the house. We match one caregiver to your parent, and if the match is not right you ask for a change and we make it.
One published rate for days and overnights
Our price is published for every family to see before anyone visits: $30-34 an hour. An overnight or weekend hour costs exactly what a weekday morning hour costs, and the rate does not climb into a higher level as your parent's needs grow. The one exception is major holidays, at time and a half, named before you book.
Nothing is added on top: no assessment fee, no start-up fee, no charge for changing the schedule. When we care for both parents in the same home, a couples discount applies.

No long contract, and a schedule that can change
We do not ask Park Cities families to sign a long-term contract. The schedule is yours to change: more hours after a fall, fewer once recovery settles, or a pause while family visits. The free assessment carries no obligation, and the four-hour minimum visit is the only fixed rule.
Many families here start with a few mornings a week and adjust during the first month, at the same hourly rate throughout.
Choosing a licensed non-medical agency in the Park Cities

On those points, Senior Care of North Texas holds License #020448, employs its caregivers, publishes $30-34 an hour and has no long-term contract. Families rate us 4.9 stars across 44 Google reviews, and Ryan does every assessment himself.
