The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Round Rock, TX for 2024

Round Rock is a large city in the Austin metro with nearly 120,000 residents. This city has a relatively young population with those aged 65 and over accounting for less than a tenth of the population, but it offers a range of benefits for older adults. It’s a safe city with a low crime rate, and it’s home to two hospitals, providing high access to primary and specialty care. While the overall cost of living is high, Texas doesn’t have a state income tax, enabling seniors to retain more of their retirement income.

For many older adults, assisted living is a practical solution for changing health care needs. These residential facilities provide housing and meals along with individualized care plans, so each resident gets the assistance they need while still maintaining as much independence as possible. According to the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, Round Rock is a relatively costly place to obtain this type of care, with assisted living rates exceeding state and national averages at $5,345 per month.

This guide provides an overview of assisted living in Round Rock, including care costs, options for paying for services and information on top resources for seniors in the region.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Round Rock

 The Texas Health and Human Services Department licenses two types of assisted living facilities in Round Rock and the rest of the state. Type A facilities accommodate those who don’t require nighttime attendance and could evacuate without assistance in the event of an emergency. Type B facilities admit residents who need 24-hour monitoring and require evacuation assistance. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Round Rock

  • Round Rock’s overall cost of living is high compared to the state and national medians, and it’s one of the more expensive places to live in the Austin metro. On a 100-point index based on the nation’s overall cost of living, the city is rated 105.5 versus the state score of 93.9. To help older adults remain financially stable throughout retirement, the Round Rock region has community-based programs to reduce what seniors pay for medical and personal care.
  • Texas doesn’t have a state income tax, meaning seniors in Round Rock only pay federal income taxes on Social Security benefits, pensions and income from retirement accounts and investments. Property taxes are relatively high, but those in assisted living avoid this expense. 
  • Crime, particularly violent crime, is uncommon in Round Rock, making the city a good option for retirees seeking a safe environment. In 2019, violent crime occurred at a rate of 124.3 incidents per 100,000 people, which is markedly lower than the respective state and national rates of 418.9 and 379.4. That year, the property crime rate was higher at 1,683.7 but still lower than the state rate of 2,390.7 and the national frequency of 2,109.9. 
  • Round Rock is one of the hottest cities in Texas with year-round daytime high temperatures ranging from 61 degrees in the winter to 96 degrees in the summer. The summer months are very humid, and the months with the most comfortable temperatures are March, April and October. Assisted living facilities help residents stay cool by providing indoor activities during the hottest parts of the year, and many facilities provide individual climate control in residents’ apartments. 
  • There are about 119 doctors per 100,000 people in Round Rock compared to the national rate of 210, which may result in wait times to see primary care doctors and specialists. There are several hospitals in or near the city, including St. David’s Round Rock Medical Center and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center — Round Rock. Local health care costs are about 10% lower here than in the nation as a whole and may benefit seniors managing ongoing conditions.
