What to Consider About Assisted Living in Leander

Leander, Texas, is right in the heart of the state, just 22 miles north of Austin. It’s technically a suburb of Austin, and it has a population of around 36,000, of whom 2,500 are 65 or older — approximately 7 percent. These seniors are served by two assisted living facilities in Leander itself, and 57 are nearby, including in Austin, Round Rock and Cedar Park.

Assisted living in Leander, as in the rest of Texas, is regulated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. It divides facilities into two types: Type A and Type B. Residents of Type A facilities do not require routine attendance during sleeping hours and can follow directions in an emergency. Residents of Type B facilities need staff assistance to evacuate and require nighttime attendance.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Leander

  • According to the American Lung Association, air quality in the Austin metropolitan area, including Leander, is high. This is ideal for seniors who have respiratory conditions or who are at risk of them. 
  • It’s easy to get around in Leander and the metro area by bus or rail. Buses are run by CARTS, which provides half-price fares for seniors, whereas trains are part of the MetroRail service, which also provides half-price fees for seniors. The city of Leander sponsors two bus trips a month for people 50 years and older around the Austin area or in central Texas. 
  • Heat and humidity define Leander summers, but by the time fall rolls around, temperatures in the high 90s drop to the low 80s. The Hill Country is one of Texas’ most popular areas for snowbirds and winter visitors for its comfortable winter temperatures in the 60s and outdoor lifestyle. 
  • Crime rates in Leander are low with 10.64 crimes against property and just 1.08 violent crimes per 1,000 residents. Texans have a 1 in 230 chance of being the victim of a violent crime. The odds for a Leander resident is 1 in 930. 
  • The cost of living in Leander is higher than average, thanks to housing and transportation costs that exceed both the Texas and national rate by a fair amount. Fortunately for retirees, food and health care costs in Leander are well below the U.S. and state averages.
  • Leander has just one facility from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest hospital located in Cedar Park.

Paying for Assisted Living in Leander
