Granbury is a small community located just 30 minutes from Fort Worth, one of the largest cities in Texas. Residents of Granbury benefit from living in a small town with a slower pace and a deep-rooted community while easily accessing the health care and other large-city amenities Fort Worth offers. This area has a pleasant climate, warm in the summer and mild in the wintertime, with rare snow. Granbury is located along the banks of the Brazos River, a popular place for waterside hiking and boating on the river. The cost of living in Granbury is slightly higher than the national average, but the state of Texas doesn’t levy an income tax, including income derived from retirement accounts and Social Security, which may benefit seniors with a limited budget.
Seniors who need some help with self care, such as grooming, dressing and bathing, can greatly benefit from assisted living. This type of senior care includes room and board, social activities and prepared meals. According to the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey, Granbury residents pay about $4,195 per month on average. This cost is a bit higher than the Texas average of $3,998 and $300 less than the national median of $4,500.
