Elevating Lives Through Exceptional Experiences

Our vision is to reimagine senior care—to provide innovative, concierge-style support for all residents.

Spend time among friends in our beautiful common areas and vintage activity areas, or bask in natural light and stunning views of landscaped courtyards and the surrounding countryside.

With a 1-to-5 staff-to-resident ratio during waking hours, our associates become more than staff members; they become trusted friends, fostering meaningful connections with residents and their families.

Discover how Teresa’s House provides the care, enrichment, and peace of mind our residents not only want but deserve. Reach out to our communities, Teresa’s House at Argyle and Teresa’s House at Craig Ranch, or contact us today to learn more.

Built for Our Residents

Our desire to exceed the expectations of our residents, families, and caregivers shapes every aspect of life at Teresa’s House.

We believe that exceptional care doesn’t just happen by chance—it’s a culmination of dedicated, experienced leadership, certified staff, and years of extensive research and design to create an ideal home atmosphere for our residents and their families.

Our Mission

To provide the finest senior care in a warm, supportive, home setting where meaningful relationships are formed and purpose-filled lives are lived.

A Message from Teresa Whittington & Godwin G. Dixon

Both of us were blessed in the sense of being raised in families that taught us the importance of hard work, honesty, and kindness. We were taught to always give our best, and our purpose, “Seek to Serve,” is woven into everything we do.

Together, we have achieved local, statewide, and national recognition for our work, including:

  • Quality Scores (National Best)
  • Resident and Family Satisfaction (National Best)
  • Design and Programming (National and international recognition)
  • Hiring Practices (Local recognition)

Our work has been featured on NBC Nightly News, CNN, US News and World Report, the front page of the Dallas Morning News and various other DFW media outlets. Despite our successes, we saw an opportunity to improve senior care. In the late 90s, Teresa, a SAGE Federation committee member and former board member, and former COO/VP of Ops of Presbyterian Communities and Services, CC Young and Juliette Fowler, and Godwin, former President/CEO of Presbyterian Communities and Services, came up with the plan for a personalized home neighborhood model for assisted living and memory care.

This vision led to Teresa’s House, built on a passion for excellence.

At Teresa’s House, we asked: What would our parents want? What would we want? The answer was clear: a home-like environment where residents can live fully.

Choosing a senior care community is a personal decision. Our neighborhoods offer individualized care and choices, allowing us to build strong relationships with residents and their families. We cater to specific needs, giving residents a renewed sense of purpose daily.

Teresa’s House provides quality senior care, peace of mind, and a supportive home setting where residents form connections and lead meaningful lives. We invite you to visit and experience the difference at Teresa’s House. Contact us to learn more about our services.

North Texas’ First PAC-Certified Provider

Teresa’s House is proud to be the first senior care provider in North Texas to achieve Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care (PAC) certification for our Enhanced Care and Memory Care Villages.

This world-renowned, research-based model transforms the dementia experience by shifting the focus from what is lost to the skills and possibilities that remain. As the first PAC-certified provider in the region, Teresa’s House sets the standard for exceptional, hands-on dementia care.

We implement the Teepa Snow Approach to provide workable solutions and significant shifts in the daily experience for your loved ones living with dementia.

Guided by in-house Teepa Snow–certified experts, our 24/7 licensed nurses and certified caregivers’ goal is to turn every interaction into a moment of confidence, dignity, and success.

By embracing this innovative philosophy, we offer families peace of mind and residents a supportive home where they can truly thrive.

Watch as Teepa Snow congratulates our team.

What Residents & Families Are Saying

When we needed to find a facility with the best care for our loved one, Dorothy, we were overjoyed to find Teresa’s House in Argyle. The care and attention that is given has made a huge difference in Dorothy‘s emotional and physical health. Teresa’s House has gone way beyond what we expected in providing a real loving home. When Dorothy had a dream of going to the World Series, Teresa’s House helped us make it happen. It was beyond belief.

It’s been wonderful to see my mom interact with others! Dining and activities with the other residents has improved my mom’s emotional health and outlook on life. The house, with 15 other residents, is beautiful, clean and has a very calm/relaxed atmosphere. My mom has enjoyed the food and variety of activities… from exercise to crafts!

After years as a Nurse Administrator, my ideal vision for my mom’s Alzheimer’s care was finally met by Teresa’s House. Unlike other dismal facilities, Teresa’s House offers open-concept living, a bright, cheerful atmosphere, and exceptional care.

Staff, guided by Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care, provide compassionate, patient support. I’ve witnessed countless acts of kindness, and the 24/7 licensed nurses offer immense peace of mind. Families receive support and connection through monthly meetings. Mom adores the Activity Center, with its unique features and engaging programs led by Irina.

Teresa’s House truly understands dementia. Remember, being present, advocating, and communicating with staff are vital for your loved one’s well-bein

At the age of 93, my mother-in-law was struggling to live by herself and led a rather isolated life. After she was hospitalized for a medical emergency, I began researching and visiting several assisting living and memory care residential homes in the Plano and Frisco areas for immediate placement. She needed a higher level of care than what we were providing, and I hoped to find a community that would brighten her living circumstances. Some facilities offered what appeared to be well established programs but hallways, elevators and gathering areas felt crowded. Others offered impressive hotel like amenities upon entry, but individual rooms and activity areas were extremely small. After investigating at least six different residential homes, I felt uneasy about having to make what I considered an agonizing decision. Fortunately, I decided to make one more visit and met with Godwin Dixon, co-owner of Theresa’s House in McKinney. As he led me on an extensive tour of both their assisted living and memory care… Read More

Teresa’s House is wonderful. The staff is so kind and caring, the food is wonderful, and the facility is absolutely top notch. I recently moved my mother into Teresa’s house and my siblings are so happy with the care that mom is receiving. It really takes away all the worry that we had about her safety and comfort. Thank you to everyone at Teresa’s House!
