McAllen Senior AdvisorWhat does the McAllen-area senior care directory include?
It lists every active HHSC license in Hidalgo County for assisted living, nursing facilities, adult day (DAHS) centers, home health agencies, hospices and personal assistance agencies, 655 records in all, plus CMS Care Compare data for 22 certified nursing homes.
Where does the directory's information come from?
Only from official bulk sources: HHSC's active-license directories as of November 5, 2026, each assisted living facility's public TULIP record, and CMS's Provider Information file; nothing comes from operators' marketing, review sites or paid placements.
Each listing page closes with a source line giving the data date. Every licensed assisted living facility and every CMS-certified nursing home has a profile page; adult day centers and agencies appear as roster rows.
How do the sort and filter controls work?
Every listing page has a search box plus city and license-type filters (and a CMS-rating filter on the nursing home list); click any column heading to sort, for example to show Mission adult day centers by capacity or nursing homes by rating.
Why is the Valley's directory shaped so differently from a big-city one?
Because Hidalgo County has few assisted living buildings (16) but an unusually large number of adult day centers (130) and in-home agencies (434), reflecting a region where most older adults are cared for at home by family with Medicaid-funded day programs and attendants.
Families who want a residential setting often look at the county's nursing homes, at the few licensed assisted living campuses in Edinburg, Mission and Pharr, or north to San Antonio and Corpus Christi.
