What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lakeway

Assisted living facilities in Lakeway comply with rules and minimum guidelines set by the Texas Health and Human Services. This department licenses two types of facilities to meet the needs of seniors who don’t require nighttime and evacuation assistance, as well as those who need more hands-on care. It also fields and investigates complaints of substandard care or conditions.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lakeway

  • Lakeway is among the most expensive places to live in Texas, with an overall cost of living that’s 54% over national norms and about 60 percentage points higher than the Texas norm. Transportation and housing costs are particularly high here compared to state and national norms, but choosing assisted living may enable older adults to have more control over monthly expenses.
  • Crime is relatively uncommon in Lakeway, making it a prime option for active seniors. On a 100-point crime index, the city’s violent crime score is 9.5 and the property crime score is 20.0, compared to respective national ratings of 22.7 and 35.4. The per capita crime rate is low compared to similarly sized cities, such as Elgin and Buda.
  • The weather is warm year-round in Lakeway and may appeal to seniors who enjoy spending time outdoors. Summers are hot with daytime highs in the mid-90s, but the other seasons are mild with highs ranging from 61 to 81 degrees. To help residents stay cool, many assisted living facilities have amenities such as individual climate controls and swimming pools.
  • Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Lakeway is located in Lakeway proper, promoting access to diverse inpatient and outpatient medical services. On average, medical costs, such as hospital stays and dental care, run about 8% below national norms, which can make care accessible to those with limited resources.
  • Texas doesn’t have a state income tax, so seniors only pay federal taxes on their pension income, Social Security benefits and withdrawals from retirement accounts. This can help older adults maintain a comfortable standard of living throughout retirement.  
  • Despite Lakeway’s proximity to major cities, its air quality is good and may support the health and comfort of seniors with cardiovascular or respiratory conditions. The American Lung Association gives the region B grades for ozone pollution, also called smog, and 24-hour particle pollution. It also has a passing score for annual particle pollution.
