Assisted Living Communities in Horseshoe Bay, TX

"My brother is a resident here. I have been getting COVID updates and they had a couple of cases in two facilities right next to each other, two in assisted living, and one in memory care, and so they all had to go under quarantine. The state department came in and did testing every week, but they are now out of quarantine. There are 16 rooms, each resident has their own room, and each room has their own bathroom. They change the linens, they do the laundry, they make the bed, and they clean the room. It is all spotlessly clean and the director is fabulous. When my brother moved in we couldn't get into the building, so the staff had to load everything into his room. They dropped it off in the morning, and when I got there in the afternoon, everything was in its place. They had unpacked everything, they hung pictures on the wall, and it was perfect. We have frequent updates from the staff on how he's doing. He said he's really liking the place. They have a beautiful backyard area with a walking path and a gated area for memory care, but with COVID they're not allowed to go out. During normal times they would take them out on excursions."

"I liked Windchime at The Village. They were very informative. I worked with a woman named Amanda and also the director, and they were so helpful, showed me around, and gave me a comprehensive tour. The place was so clean. Everybody was smiling. It was a fun little interaction, watching some of the residents trying to play dominoes together. It made me smile because they were just so sweet with them. They did a lot of follow-up making sure I had all my questions answered and gave me all the information I needed to move forward. I wish we could have made that happen, but with the needs that my in-laws needed right now with Medicaid, I had to go a different route, but I will consider them in the future. I toured more of the assisted living right now, but I did get to tour the memory care facility because that was going to be the next progression that my in-laws needed. It was a very comforting experience, like seeing the transition and that it would still be in the same area, just a more secure situation. The room was kind of like a studio with a kitchenette and its own private bathroom and shower. They have one room that is adjoining, kind of like a hotel room, and they offered that if we needed more space, they could be a couple and be in an adjoining room, which was a nice option to have. It was old and maybe needed more windows."

"It is a small community with a caring, loving, and attentive staff. They are quick to respond to residents' needs and flexible with families. Mom is in a small studio, which is just the perfect layout for her, with plenty of room for all the furniture she needs, plenty of closet space, and a very spacious bathroom. They have arts and crafts, games, and other group activities. The meals are good and adequate. It's a little bit older facility, but other than that, it's great."

"My best friend's mom was at Brookdale Lohmans Crossing for a year. It was really good. I liked it. I took care of her when she was there. She had her nurses come and bring her medicines. If I needed them for whatever reason, I would call them. When the staff members see you, they say hi. If you needed anything, you could count on anyone to help you and bring you whatever you needed. They were just really nice. I would see them with other people, and everybody liked them. Everybody knew them. My friend's mom had her own keys. She could go in and out. The food was great. You could just get what you wanted. You could eat it there in the lunchroom or take it to your room. They had puzzles, bingo, a craft room, happy hours, movies, and a church. It was all great. They're too expensive for old folks. Another thing is that you can have your pets there. Either you can take them walking, or the nurses will take them walking for you. There's a walking area where you can walk around the building. If you didn't have a vehicle, you could get on the bus and go grocery shopping or to the stores."

"I was a resident of Brookdale Lakeway twice, and the most recent stay was after my surgery. They treated me fantastically. It was assisted living, so they took care of my prescription. I didn't even have to provide it; they got it from my doctor and ordered all the new prescriptions. And they gave me the medication when I needed them, I didn't have to ask them or anything. They prepared three meals a day, cleaned your room, and do your laundry. They took care of everything and it was fantastic, plus the people were great. My insurance paid for all of it. The room I had there was more like you're in a hospital. I didn't have to share my room with anybody, but I had to share the bathroom. I had a single room with a bed and share the bathroom with the person next to you. They had a little gym that was on the same floor, and I could just walk to the dining room or they would bring the food to my room. They had a library on the first floor, and they would periodically announce on the intercom that they're having things like bingo on which room on which floor and that you're welcome to go. They have stuff like that and activities. But I was in the assisted living place where they would help you, they would even help me bathe. They also have a living area where you can have your own apartment. It's a beautiful place. I would rate them a 5 because they're fantastic. They have a nurse on-call all the time, so if you have a problem you can call the nurse. After I got out of surgery, she had several new patients and we were talking. Then the nurse asked me if I'm OK because I don't look good, did the vitals on me and said I need to go to the hospital. She called an ambulance and took me to a hospital, where they found out I had blood clots in my lungs. They take care of you, and I can't complain about them. When I got back, I heard the staff speaking Spanish all day long. They were nice, so we got along beautifully. I didn't have a problem with it. They treated me really well. The food was good, but I was used to better or tastier stuff. I wouldn't mind moving into one of their apartments that you can rent. "

"My husband was at Belmont Village Senior Living Lakeway. For 18 months, 95% of it was really good. They had a lot of activities, and I really liked their activity schedule there. I went over a lot because he was only a mile from me. Their food was pretty good, too. The facilities were very clean. It was all good; it was excellent. It was pretty expensive, but I guess it was good value. It's one of the pricier ones around here. When I put my husband into a different facility after 17 days, I had to move him out because they were horrible, so this place is a five compared to that place."
