SeniorHousingNet: Helpful Resources for Seniors in Texas
Aging comes with a lot of changes. One transition many seniors and their families face is moving to a place where they can get more hands-on care. Independent living is a popular choice for relatively able-bodied seniors who want to reside in communities designed with older residents in mind.
Our new guide compares the costs for independent living communities in Texas. It also highlights independent living costs with other types of senior care and lists some helpful resources for aging adults and their families.

Tomchei Shabbos of Dallas
Founded in 2010, Tomchei Shabbos (“Supporters of Shabbat”) of Dallas’ goal is to lovingly and anonymously providing essential Shabbat food to needy Jewish families in our community.
Our vetting process is conducted with the utmost discretion, care and privacy. Recipients are sent credits via email which can be used only for the purchase Kosher food. The food can be ordered online and picked up without anyone knowing that the food has been paid for with Tomchei Shabbos-provided credit. Every part of our process is structured in the spirit of Mattan Beseter, allowing both the donors and donees complete anonymity.
Tomchei Shabbos is entirely supported by the compassion, generosity and financial support of the Dallas Jewish community.
