Longleaf Bee Cave sits out in the Texas Hill Country as one of the area's newer retirement communities, and folks looking here will see quite a range of living options since you've got independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and short-term respite care all in one place, and there's even the continuing care retirement community setup for those wanting to stay put as their needs change. The apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts with choices like patios or balconies, and many of them are spacious, bright, and have plenty of storage, which helps when moving in. For meals, there are chef-prepared dishes served every day, and a caring management team lives right on-site and joins in on activities with everyone, so it feels a bit more like a neighborhood where folks know each other.
The place puts a lot of effort into making things secure and safe, with features like 24-hour security systems, advanced air filtration, disinfecting UV lighting, antimicrobial countertops, and easy-to-clean painted surfaces, and the apartments and hallways are easy to get around for folks who may use walkers or wheelchairs. Longleaf Bee Cave's staff is there around the clock to handle different kinds of care, whether that's helping with the daily routines like dressing and bathing or giving extra support to folks living with early-stage cognitive decline or Alzheimer's, and there are certified dementia practitioners involved in memory care. The setting itself is done up in a contemporary, resort-like style with patterned wood and tile in the bistro, some cowboy hats up in the game room, open common rooms, and there's even a salt water pool if you go over to Belmont Village Lakeway.
Other amenities cover a pretty wide range, like a library, laundry and housekeeping services, parking, and plenty of activities to keep up social connections and make new friends. They work with each resident and their families on a personal care plan, so support can fit the individual, and for those who need medical care or more advanced support, it's available right there at the facility. You'll find the environment is welcoming, with attention to privacy and safety, a team that aims to make residents feel at home, opportunities for group events, and help with transportation if needed. For anyone curious about how the community measures up, there's the Seniorly Community Score and a rating system that looks at reviews, neighborhood safety, and livability. Longleaf Bee Cave fits people who want different levels of support as they get older, from staying fully independent to those needing more help or a safe environment for memory care.
