Brookdale Gaines Ranch sits in Austin and has a wide range of care options for seniors with independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even at-home care. The community works as a continuing care retirement community, so residents can get different levels of help as their needs change, and there's always staff on site day and night. The campus feels a bit like a resort, with areas set up for relaxing and spending time with others, inside and outside, including patios, walking paths, and gardens, plus beautiful views of the Austin skyline and the hill country that people seem to enjoy.
Residents can choose from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments that have plush carpets, roomy closets, full kitchens, and some even have private patios or balconies. Seniors can bring small pets, which is nice for those who want animal company. Many services make daily life easier and more comfortable, like housekeeping, linen service, on-site laundry, scheduled transportation for errands or doctor's appointments, organized outings, and different entertainment options. There's help for those with daily needs, too-staff provide assistance with bathing, dressing, medication management, and grocery shopping if needed.
People who like to socialize or stay busy can meet in all sorts of shared spaces, like the community living room, game room with a card table, the arts and crafts studio, a billiards room, library, café, bistro, and general store for last-minute items. There's also a screening room for movies, and a piano for music lovers. If eating with others is important, there's a main dining room, private dining for guests, and tableside service. The food is focused on good nutrition, and there's even a snack shop for smaller bites between meals.
The indoor pool and therapy pool make swimming and water exercises easy all year, and a fitness center helps people stay active. The salon and barber shop are there for anyone wanting a haircut or other personal care, and the grounds are landscaped for safe walking paths outside.
