Just a short drive from Dallas-Fort Worth, residents of Eagle Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center are surrounded with vast outdoor spaces as well as a creative culture that’s rich in history in Denton, Texas. Our community features a soothing outdoor courtyard, delightful gardens, cozy common spaces, and a home-like atmosphere that gives residents a sense of comfort, dignity, and well-being.
