Independent Living Communities in Leander, TX

"The Oaks Gracious Retirement Living is very nice and well-maintained. The rooms are rather spacious compared to what I was expecting. They are very nice, too. They have indoor hallways which are great, making it easy for my mom to get around and not have to go outside. The staff members are very friendly and are always assisting. They have card games, board games, and movie nights. They have a day full of activities. The dining area is very good. We had one meal there and it was good, well balanced, and tasty. My mom eats there three times a day, which is something we couldn't get her to do at home. So obviously the food is very good. She is eating more frequently now that she is there. They change the menu every day. The facility is well-maintained, beautiful, and very accommodating."

"I moved to The Oscar at Georgetown. My apartment is very nice and very comfortable. The food is good. They've got a variety of food to eat. The facility is very clean. The staff is friendly and nice."

"We loved The Delaney at Georgetown Village. It was beautiful. We were impressed with it, but it was a little bit pricier than the other ones. We liked the layout of the place. Most of the residents there were city people. They gave us some scones and it was really good. All the staff that we met were very friendly and we enjoyed the tour."

"Asher Pointe Senior Living of Austin was wonderful. It was a beautiful place, but a little far for me. The person who assisted me during the tour was wonderful. He explained things quite well. I didn't meet that many staff, but they were very kind."

"I have already moved into The Conservatory at North Austin. The management and the other residents are friendly. The management seems to be very involved with the residents and with the running of the facility. They offered numerous, numerous activities. I'm very comfortable that I made the right decision. They come and clean your place every other week. With the cable service that I have for my TV, I have more channels than I would ever watch. They're very good. They have a beauty salon where they do perms, colors, and haircuts, and they have a garden. They have a landscaping committee. Today it's National Airplane Day, and they're having a 'make-your-airplane.' This weekend they're having a Latin's Day with music and guitar. They're involved like yesterday the CEO was in the dining room shampooing carpets. They stop and speak to us every time they pass by. They ask how things are going and if you feel very comfortable. You can come to them if you have a question. I just find them very involved. I've only been here a couple of weeks, but I don't have any complaints."

"My mother liked Provident Crossings Retirement Resort. It was very nice. All the guests were friendly and the coordinator was very thorough with the tour. I liked all of the activities. It was just very clean and uplifting, not like some other places that you go into, and are kind of depressing. Everybody seemed happy. They have transportation. They have guestrooms for your family to stay in if they come to visit you. They have arts and crafts, a nice theater, a physical therapy room, and a puzzle room. I like that the mailboxes are right there in the main lobby. There's always somebody on duty at the concierge desk. It's very secure. All the doors are locked from the outside. You can get out, but you can't get back in. You have to go back around to the front door to get back in. During the tour, everyone that we encountered introduced themselves and was very nice. We met with the housekeeping staff. The chef that was onsite came out and introduced himself and said if mom had any particular food needs or whatever, he would take care of it. We had lunch and it was very good. It was what they were serving the guests that day and it was very good and very nutritious."

"It was a very warm and hospitable environment. I enjoyed lunch with my friend who I came to visit and got to take advantage of seeing happy hour events. Everyone was smiling and enjoying the music and food/drinks. It seemed like somewhere I could see myself living eventually."

"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."

"Belmont Village West Lake Hills was a lovely location. I think it's really clean and the residents were well cared for. They had the available space that we were looking for and the facility was in great condition. I think they probably topped the list as far as amenities and activities and so forth. They had quite several activities for residents to participate in and were very interesting. It seemed like they worked with their residents to find things that they would be interested in."

"My parents were residents of Brookdale Westlake Hills. They both shared a room there and were well taken care of. It was a very nice and clean facility with excellent food, nursing, and support services. The staff was very professional and friendly. The room size was adequate. It was a two-room room, and each had a television and a separating curtain if they needed it. It was a good facility. My parents were comfortable there. My dad complained about his bed, so they switched the bed out. I saw people playing bingo, doing yoga, and stretching and exercises. You get what you pay for, and you have to pay a lot to get top quality. So, it's expensive."

"My mother will be moving into Brookdale Gaines Ranch. I chose it because of the look and feel of the place. The residents looked happy and seemed to be enjoying the place and they were out and about and active. The staff was friendly and caring, and we had good communication, so far. It's a very nice facility with a lot of amenities. They have a gym, salon, indoor pool, courtyard outside, walking trail, pet park, poker room, and deli. They had more than anybody else."

"I think I would prefer to go to The Continental Retirement Community. I like the price and the physical look of the facility, and its location is convenient. It's very close to where I currently live, so I wouldn't have to adjust to a new neighborhood. The living spaces were not very large; they were medium-sized. I was looking at a one-bedroom-one-bath. They had a library, an activity room, and of course a dining facility. I had a meal there and it was acceptable. It was more casual dining like you would find at Applebee's or Denny's. The staff who assisted me with the tour was mostly knowledgeable. By her own admission, she had only been at that facility for about three months and was not familiar with the territory around it."

"My father has moved into Solstice Senior Living at Austin. They're friendly, professional, and caring. It's clean and convenient. They have attractive landscaping. The facility and the grounds are attractive. They do outings, they play pool, they play cards, and they have socials. His room is attractive, clean, modern, and easy to access. It's a safe community."

"Ledgestone Senior Living was nice, but it was too far away from my family and everything. I don't have anything bad to say about it. The people were very friendly. They have many, many activities. I like that they recycle, and that they have an onsite physical therapist and equipment. I am looking for independent living with access to assisted living as needed. The staff was very nice. At almost every end of the hallway, they had a little table for games and puzzles, and so forth scattered everywhere. They had many, many, many activities."
