Better Care at a Better Price

In 2015, Karen and Dave opened A Joy Living in Arlington, Texas, to provide the care people deserve but rarely receive at large, corporate-owned care facilities. Dave had been a director at large assisted living facilities, and Karen had been a nurse for many years. Karen's grandfather, when he was in an assisted living facility, encouraged them to start a care home that fixed the problems with large buildings.

Decades of experience led us to bring all of the good things and then combine them with the personalized care of a registered nurse. Nurse Karen lives down the hall, which means peace of mind for families, knowing your loved one is receiving exceptional care, unmatched in the DFW.

Experience the warmth and compassion of A Joy Living. Nurse Karen ensures top-quality care for your loved ones, with a personal touch that makes everyone feel like family.

A great "family" experience, as the Raschio's are fully involved with the residents. They go above and beyond to provide fun and meaningful experiences."

My mother has been living at this home for several years and considers the Raschios her family! They absolutely care for her and love her as though she is part of their family. I cannot imagine feeling more secure and at ease with my mother at any other facility. They advocate for her and are so in tune with her medical needs! She is so much healthier and happier living with them. They eat homemade meals together, take her to doctors appointments and Bible study and a variety of other things she enjoys. They are truly wonderful. I am beyond thankful they consider this work their calling.
