What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lakeway

Lakeway originally began as a retirement community, drawing active empty-nesters with its award-winning parks and recreational activities, including camping, fishing and scuba diving. Today, the city is home to a little over 15,000 people, roughly one in five of whom are aged 65 and over. To accommodate this population, the Lakeway has 25 assisted living facilities, including four in Lakeway proper.

In Lakeway, as in all of Texas, there are three different types of assisted living facilities, including assisted living apartments, residential care apartments and residential care non-apartments. All types of assisted living are licensed by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lakeway

  • The Lakeway area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • According to data gathered by the American Lung Association, ozone pollution levels in Lakeway are high, while particle pollution levels are low. Travis County was given an F for ozone pollution, an A for short-term particle pollution and a passing score for annual particle pollution. This may be a consideration for seniors who have respiratory conditions like asthma or COPD.
  • Public transportation services in Lakeway are provided by Capital Area Rural Transportation System, a bus service that serves rural regions around Austin. Seniors age 65 and over can purchase CART bus fare at half price.
  • Lakeway is safer than 56 percent of cities of all sizes throughout the country, and its crime rate is lower than 60 percent of Texas cities of all sizes. When compared to cities with similar population sizes, however, Lakeway's crime rate is notably lower than average. This may make the city a good option for seniors who enjoy being active in their community.
  • Summers in Lakeway are hot and muggy with average highs in the mid-90s, and winters are cool and windy with highs in the low-60s. The city's warm climate may appeal to senior's who enjoy outdoor activities throughout the year. 
  • Lakeway is a relatively expensive place to live, with a cost of living that is nearly 50 percent higher than state and national averages. This is primarily due to the high cost of housing, which is more than double the average housing costs of the state and nation as a whole. Utilities, healthcare and grocery costs are slightly lower than the national average, however, which may help seniors offset the high housing prices.
