The Auberge at Onion Creek sits in Austin, Texas, and offers assisted living, memory care, and independent living options all in a single-story building, and folks find the place pet-friendly, with both cats and dogs allowed, and the staff takes care of pets if residents need help. There's a focus on memory care, and the community is specially built for people living with Alzheimer's and dementia, so there's a secure area with bracelets for safety if somebody wanders, and staff are trained to help with behavioral problems and provide gentle support around the clock-there's always supervision and caregivers can help with daily needs like bathing, grooming, medication, and even using lifts if needed. Bedrooms come with cozy beds, natural light, floral bedspreads, and sturdy furniture. Residents can pick between 1-bed or 2-bed units that measure 250 or 475 square feet.
There's a movie theater with soft recliners, a well-stocked library, a TV room, walking trails, a putting green, and peaceful gardens with patios, gazebos, and sitting spots. Indoors, you'll find a beauty salon for hair and nails, a small gift shop with snacks and toiletries, shared studios, and a comfy lobby filled with warm decor and plush chairs. Staff serve all meals restaurant-style, and folks get fresh, chef-prepared food that can meet many special diets, whether that's low-sodium, gluten-free, vegan, or sugar-free, and the dining rooms have round tables and high ceilings with fancy lighting. There's a full calendar, and a full-time activity director plans movie nights, art classes, gardening, yoga, stretching, spiritual programs, karaoke, wine tasting, lectures, trips, and community service, and there are wellness classes, fitness programs, devotional services, and intergenerational activities, so the days stay busy for those who want them to be.
Families use ample parking when they come to visit, and the whole place is no-smoking, air-conditioned, and wheelchair-accessible, including wheelchair-friendly showers and bathrooms. The grounds include a secure outdoor playground and an inviting entrance with a covered drive, and you'll often find residents enjoying the patio with drinks or walking the landscaped paths. Staff provide medical help, medication management, and have a medical director, licensed vocational nurses, and medication technicians on hand, with a doctor on call and support for hospice or respite care needs.
Transportation's offered, including both scheduled and complimentary rides, and folks can pay with credit cards for convenience. Housekeeping, laundry, beauty services, and pet care are available. Residents with wandering, aggression, or unusual behaviors can be supported safely and comfortably. The Auberge at Onion Creek does its best to offer an honest, well-rounded, and secure home for seniors, with plenty of space for both quiet moments and social times, all while giving families peace of mind that as people's care needs grow, they can stay put and get the right help.
