Emerald Cottages of Kerrville sits quietly next to the Guadalupe River in Texas Hill Country, right by River Pointe Assisted Living, and it stands out for its small, peaceful cottage setting meant for active seniors who want to live a relaxed life with a lot of independence while still having support close by if needed. The community has 32 cottage-style homes, each with two bedrooms, two baths, high ceilings, large laundry rooms for full-size washers and dryers, ceiling fans in bedrooms, big walk-in closets, and roomy kitchens with granite countertops, wood floors, and custom cabinets, so folks can enjoy comforts they're used to. There's an oversized garage attached to each cottage, and the homes have extra features like walk-in, zero-threshold showers, dual vanities, raised ceilings, two-inch blinds, and handicap-accessible 36-inch doors, which makes it easier to move around.
People living here get to enjoy maintenance-free living, so they don't have to worry about repairs or landscaping, and there are no HOA dues or property taxes, which some will find simple and freeing. Pets are allowed, both cats and dogs, so folks can bring along their companions. Outdoors, there are paths along the river, open spaces, scenic trails, and an enclosed courtyard where residents and their pets can relax or take a stroll. Devotional services are held onsite, which gives folks a place for quiet reflection without needing to leave the community, and there's a beauty salon as well.
A full-time activity director plans outings, field trips, and regular events, and the social, educational, and physical activities keep people busy if they want to be. There are plenty of chances to join in with neighbors-social events, trips, indoor and outdoor gatherings, and a full calendar to help folks feel connected if that's their preference. People who prefer a quieter life can enjoy their privacy and still take part in events as they choose. Inside the community, common areas, both indoors and out, offer space to socialize, entertain guests, or simply relax.
