What to Consider About Assisted Living in Horseshoe Bay
Tucked against the southern shore of Lake Lyndon B. Johnson along the Colorado River, Horseshoe Bay, Texas, is known as a lakeside resort town. The warm weather and close-knit community make it an attractive place for seniors. For big-city needs, Austin is 51 miles to the south and Llano 28 miles to the east. The city is divided between Llano and Burnet counties. There are three assisted living facilities in Llano County and three in Burnet County.
The state of Texas designates two levels of assisted living, which are licensed and monitored by the Department of Health and Human Services. Type A residents do not require overnight supervision and are able to evacuate the facility independently. For Type B residents, staff assistance is required in case of an emergency and overnight care and supervision are necessary.
