Barton Hills Assisted Living

I visited this facility

Barton Hills Assisted Living is an assisted living community in Austin, Texas. I was very impressed with this community. I especially liked the layout and the conditions of the units. There is the option of private or semi private. The dining area is restaurant style and the food was very good. The options were good and the food really tasted like restaurant quality. I also thought that the offered amenities varied enough to satisfy all the residents. I also liked that they have a complimentary shuttle to assist residents to go out for doctor’s appointments, shopping, dining or outside outings. I thought everything was excellent, from the facility to the services to the amenities.

My grandmother has Alzheimer's and quite frankly she needs the help. Yhat is why we placed her in this assisted living home. She seems to be aware some of the times when we ask where she is and seems to like the place. When I was there visiting I was treated very well and I believe that it is a great place for my grandmother to be. She always has someone that is capable watching her every move and that is good at their job. She seems to be happy there from what she tells us. I liked the place a lot and I know my grandmother does too. I wish she did not have Alzheimer's and lived with us, but since she is in this condition I am glad she has Barton Hills. All the other people that I saw there also looked extremely happy. The facilities there are amazing from the fitness room to the game room it looks like an amazing place to live.

The assisted facilities where my dear neighbor lives is just great. He loves it and he always says that he wishes we could all live there with him cause it is just an amazing place. It has a lot of fun things to do and it also has a great nursing staff. My opinion of this place couldn't be any better. It is just a great place that I see myself going when I need assistance. My friend that lives here is such a jolly guy you could even call him Santa clause. He used to always spread cheers to everyone in the neighborhood the best way he could and I guess you could say this place fits him perfectly and that is just perfect for him. I hope he lives a long life but if he were to die tomorrow I know he would have no regrets.

We visited the Barton Hills Assisted Living facility while searching for a place for my brother's friend in the Austin area. We immediately noticed the beautiful outside grounds that were very nicely maintained. The patio is used for socializing and dining, with openings into the grounds featuring many walking paths. Residents may also tend the lovely gardens.

The foyer was fresh and bright with very nice decorations and furniture and the staff was very welcoming. All of the indoor rooms had plenty of fresh air and light. Each room was beautifully decorated and furnished. The colors throughout the building were soothing and comfortable.

Communal activity rooms were spacious, with comfortable furniture. The seniors can easily socialize, make crafts, play games, watch TV and films and participate in many stimulating activities.

Seniors can use the exercise room at any time and also go on daily walks. Aerobics and yoga classes are offered. The residents go on trips to visit the many art galleries and museums, eat at casual and fine restaurants and enjoy the many cultural events offered in Austin.

The private rooms featured plenty of space in nicely decorated surroundings. All had a great deal of natural light and fresh air with very comfortable furniture.

The dining room was quite nice, with plenty of space. The food we saw looked and smelled delicious. The menus all had healthy food options for all kinds of diets. Healthy snacks are offered all day and into the evening, as well as whenever residents request them.

We especially liked that focus on helping the seniors to enhance current skills, while cultivating new interests. The recreational and educational activities provide an opportunity for personal, as well as spiritual growth.

The residents here looked very content in their living environment and were well cared for by kind and considerate staff.

I am a professional in the region and have referred clients to Barton Hills Assisted Living, which is an assisted living retirement community, providing support services to assist residents with the activities of daily living. This community is a small complex, with private & semi-private rooms, with staff on-site and social & recreational activities offered.

Several clients have commented, saying: "This is a nice place & staff are so helpful", "I enjoy it here, they (staff) help alot", and "I like that this is small, I know everybody & they are so nice, we have alot of fun."

I did get one negative comment when a client stated: "It would help if they (management) would do regular upkeep, like painting rooms, it would brighten things up alot."

Overall, it seems this is a good community that provides good support services to their residents.
