About Edgemere Dallas

Edgemere opened its doors in 2001, and immediately set a new standard for luxury senior living retirement communities in North Texas. It was the first Life Care community to open in Dallas and, for almost a generation now, it has offered residents an unparalleled set of benefits.

Edgemere's drive to deliver a top-tier experience is reflective of the vision for excellence in senior living. It's a vision shared across all 14 members of the Lifespace Communities^® family. The mission remains focused on one thing ? celebrating the lives of seniors in everything the community does. This simple notion has led Lifespace and its multistate system of senior living communities to experience decades of success and financial stability and, even more importantly, earn the trust of thousands of team members, residents, and their families.

Additionally, Edgemere's status as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization means all revenues are reinvested into the community, allowing for the development of better services, amenities, and opportunities for residents. This also ensures that residents will not be asked to leave the community, regardless of Edgemere's financial hardships.
