What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lockhart

Lockhart is the "Barbecue Capital of Texas," and a small suburb of the state's actual capital, Austin. This area has plenty of activities for seniors including outdoor trails, museums, and other entertainment, and plenty of shopping areas. There are three assisted living facilities to accommodate the town's 65 and older demographic, 14 percent of the population of 13,000 and a further 35 communities in the greater Austin area. 

Lockhart's assisted living facilites, as in all of Texas, are regulated by the Department of Health and Human Services and licensed based on residents' ability to evacuate the facility in an emergency and whether nighttime assistance is necessary. Type A facilities house residents able to evacuate independently in an emergency, while Type B facilities' residents require staff assistance and direction in emergency situations. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lockhart

  • Weather in Lockhart is hot and dry, with long summers and mild winters. July temperatures average in the mid-90 degree range and January lows in the mid-30s. Those who find warm weather helpful for health conditions are comfortable here; whereas, seniors sensitive to high temperatures will probably be uncomfortable.
  • Texas has no state income tax, which includes retirement income and social security benefits. This can leave seniors with more money for daily expenses, however, the sales tax and property tax rates are among the highest in the nation. 
  • Cost of living in Lockhart is on par with the national average. Housing costs, 20 percent lower than the U.S. average, could make assisted living fees cost less here than in other Austin suburbs, as the lower housing fees may reduce operating costs. 
  • Crime rates in Lockhart are close to the national average, with violent crime ranking 32 on a scale of one to 100 (one being the safest) and property crimes close to 40. Seniors are advised to take precautions and secure their persons and property. 
  • Lockhart, as part of the greater Austin area, is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
  • The Lockhart area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Seton Lockhart Family Health Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
