Our Services & Programs
Clara’s House & Community Center is the planned facility where affordable, dignity-first support will take shape for people living with memory loss, their caregivers, and our community. The Clara D.

Monday–Friday, 6:00 AM–6:00 PM, giving caregivers a trusted daytime option with sliding-scale pricing and Medicaid STAR+PLUS acceptance.

Training & Community Support
Caregiver and professional education, support groups, and help connecting families with Medicare, Medicaid, VA benefits, and other resources.
04
The Clara’s Subsidy Fund
Grant- and sponsorship-supported assistance helps make care accessible, so families aren’t turned away because of what they can pay.
05
Dementia-Care Workforce Academy
Developed in partnership with the Dallas College Garland Campus, the academy will train local residents for healthcare careers in memory care. Most area caregiver training programs are generic; ours layers dementia-specialized, person-centered care training on top of core certification, preparing trainees for jobs at Clara's House Pleasant Grove and at memory care providers across Dallas. The first training cohort will serve 10 students from the 75217 community, with cohorts scaling annually as Clara's House Pleasant Grove comes online.
How we grow
Start local. Learn deeply. Expand with care.
The foundation will lead the day-to-day operations of Clara’s House Pleasant Grove, listening closely to the families and neighbors it serves. What works in Pleasant Grove can become a thoughtful foundation for future expansion across Dallas.
Healthcare organizations will also have a resource to point families toward when long-term care questions arise one grounded in education, dignity, and a real connection to place.
