This beautiful home is located approximately 6 miles west of Hwy 290, west of Austin. It is conveniently situated near Dripping Springs, Wimberly, Oak Hill and Austin. The facility is close to hospital facilities and it is only a short drive from the Austin Metropolis. The facility is a small home with 22 private rooms for the residents and communal living areas where the residents gather for dinning and activities. The Grand Opening was held on February 12, 2009 (see photos).

The Arveda Alzheimer's communities have been specifically designed to meet the needs of the residents, from the layout of the home, to the design of the bedrooms, to the selection of the decor. The management and design team have many years of experience providing the specialized care that Alzheimer's residents require. That being said, the quality of care is dependent upon the facility staff and their ability to care for the special needs of the residents, especially from a psychological standpoint. The facility staff receive intensive training on Alzheimer's disease and the way it affects the residents' language ability, vision, behavior, and ability to take care of themselves. Our specialized staff members are selected not only for their technical skills and knowledge of how to provide personal care, but also for their ability to communicate well.

We ensure the residents are treated respectfully, and provided choices about their daily routine.
