Serenity at Cedar Park Assisted Living sits over on 100 Shady Trails Pass in Cedar Park, Texas, where you'll find a small and quiet place with room for just ten folks, and everyone usually says the place feels a lot like home, especially since they work hard to keep things looking nice and peaceful in a higher-end area, and the folks in charge seem to take pride in keeping everything family-run and positive. Residents can pick from studio, semi-private, shared, or companion rooms, all with little touches like housekeeping, laundry, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and kitchens or kitchenettes if you want to fix something simple. The staff pays attention to things like dressing, bathing, medication, and even walking or helping out with wheelchairs, and most days you'll notice a lot of helpers around-the caregiver ratio goes from two-to-one to five-to-one depending on the day, so folks get plenty of attention, and everyone's got access to a full-time administrator, CNAs, caregivers, and an activity staff, and if you need a doctor, nurses, or outside therapists, they bring them in too.
Meals come with the stay, and they make sure to offer options for folks with special diets, like low sugar or low salt, and the dining area always looks clean and homey, kind of like gathering for a meal at a friend's house. Activities fill up the day, from games to crafts to trips to the fitness center, and there are even regular visits from Bow Wow Therapy Dogs, which a lot of the residents look forward to, since the therapy dog teams come in and do one-on-one visits for folks who need a little extra cheering up or company, plus the chaplain comes in for weekly worship services, which means there's always someone you can talk to or share a prayer with.
Serenity at Cedar Park stays open twenty-four hours, with someone always on staff, including a house manager, and they're licensed as a Type B Assisted Living Facility by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services. You won't see any pets living with the residents, but the therapy dog program seems to help fill that gap. For care, they handle everything from memory care for folks dealing with dementia or Alzheimer's, up to support for high-acuity, diabetic, and non-ambulatory needs, plus help with things like wound care, podiatry visits, and hospice if needed, all while encouraging folks to stay as independent as possible.
Most days, eight residents keep the house lively, and the mood is pretty steady with lots of chances to pick activities, read in the library, enjoy the patio garden, or join in health and wellness programs, always aiming to help everyone keep moving and feel at home. They stick by an "age in place" approach, so if someone's needs change, they won't have to move out, and the monthly shared room rate runs about $4,500, with a one-time community fee of $1,500, and residents handle private payment. People can reach out to a Caring Family Advisor for help figuring out which kind of care or room fits best, and they welcome both in-person and virtual tours, assessments, or just a chat about the move. While there's a waiting list and some move-in steps, folks wanting clear answers find that information is easy to get. Most who visit or live there say the feel is welcoming, with an average rating of 7.6 out of 10, and the community focus stays on comfort, respect, and making sure everyone has what they need without fuss or fanfare.
