14 Independent Living Facilities near Leander, TX

My experience so far has been a 10 out of 10, everything about this place is great. I love it here, and they really do pamper me. The staff and residents are all so friendly.

When my mother-in-law began having memory issues I chose to move her to this assisted living facility because it came highly recommenced to me by others and it was nearby so I could visit often. During her years there she also spent some recovery time (after hospital visits) in the skilled nursing facility area of the Juniper community. Both were good facilities. They have done a stellar job of keeping Covid out of the building and keeping the residents sane during Covid lockdowns. Many staff will go above and beyond their job descriptions to make things better for residents.

I think their process of putting down a deposit and a community fee and first months rent, is all very confusing. I think people need to ask a lot of questions and get clarification. In general, once my dad moved in, his experience with the staff has been so overwhelmingly positive. Once we put down our deposit and made the decision to go there, the sales people hand you over to the next people you work with long-term, and they are great. The staff at Brookdale, my dad really can't say enough good things about. They offer a ton of activities, and it's taken him a little while because his most important thing was getting doctor appointments made and his bank account set up. He really likes that there is a Catholic communion once a week, and he started using the indoor pool for water aerobics. They have happy hour every Wednesday and he'll go to part of that. He hasn't gotten involved in things like game nights, and more social friendly gatherings. He hasn't quite done that, but I think he's getting there. My dad is in a large one bedroom apartment, and it was completely renovated prior to him moving in. He went from a four bedroom house to a one bedroom apartment - but we've divided his bedroom into half his bedroom and half his office area with a desk and a computer. He has a really nice sized bathroom, fully equipped with guard rails to make sure he's safe. He has tons of storage space, and a nice outside patio. It has a fully functioning kitchen that he hasn't really had to use because he loves the food. He was kind of withering away and his weight was a big concern, but he's put on about 7lbs since he's been there and that's a really big thing. I would recommend Brookdale to others. I visited 11 places before making the decision; far and away, Brookdale was the best facility for the money and I think the care services are great. The medical care he receives onsite are great; he sees a physician's assistant and she will come to his apartment for appointments. If he needs any lab work they will come to his apartment to draw blood and so forth. He's starting to take the shuttle to attend his urologists and cardio appointments. They helped him find new doctors, where he can take the shuttle. The driver will take him and pick him back up - they facilitate that. My dad came from a small town in New Mexico where health care was not good, so that is a really huge aspect. I would recommend Brookdale Gaines Ranch to anybody. Brookdale has given me and my sisters such a since of relief because we were constantly worried about dad living alone in a four bedroom house, and it's the best place for my dad!
