Brookside Farm is an assisted living facility located at 2213 E Howard Ln, Manor, TX 78653, about three miles from Pflugerville, Texas, and since 1997, when Nina Morrison founded it, the place has provided long-term residential care for adults, offering a homelike setting with only 10 licensed beds, which tends to keep things quiet and personal, and some residents have private suites or studio rooms, while others share rooms, and all have access to private bathrooms, kitchenettes in some spaces, air-conditioning, cable TV, internet, and telephone services, plus fully furnished living areas that can be decorated to individual taste, and there are plenty of common areas filled with natural light, where people can gather, share stories, and even spend time outside in the garden, with help always nearby if you need support.
The staff are trained and on site 24 hours a day, offering help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, walking, eating, bed transfers, toileting, personal care, and medication management, and if a resident has depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, paranoia, autism, an intellectual or developmental disability, or a traumatic brain injury, the staff has experience and specialized programs to support those conditions, handling things with kindness and respect, and really making the effort to treat each person according to what works best for them, which makes everything feel personal and, as people often say, kind.
Residents at Brookside Farm choose from a range of care levels and can access skilled nursing, home care, memory care, independent living, assisted living, and even nursing home services, so elders who want to stay independent but need a bit of help find it's a good spot, and if caregivers need a break, respite care is offered too, which means a person can stay for a short time, properly cared for, while their regular helpers rest or take care of business.
The dining room serves meals to match personal tastes and health needs, with organic food and ingredients used as much as possible, and all the housekeeping and linen services are handled, so residents never need to worry about chores, and there's transportation to doctor's appointments and other outings if needed, thanks to the staff's transportation services, and planning the trips is something they'll help with too.
Daily activities, gentle exercises, arts and crafts, social events, religious services, and opportunities to enjoy recreation keep people active and connected, with maintenance-free living-no need to cook, clean, or handle home repairs, and the people that live there often remark on the spirit of community, as staff and residents gather in the shared dining facilities or out in the garden, and everyone's needs get met, whether that's independence, privacy, or companionship.
Brookside Farm is a medium-sized community focused on dignity, grace, and autonomy, with a simple atmosphere, honest care, and long-term treatment programs that have made a difference for several decades, always aiming to maintain well-being and quality of life for each person, and there's support in place for veterans and spouses through VA Aid & Attendance benefits and help understanding long-term care insurance options, so expenses can sometimes be offset, and with their review score of 8.5 out of 15 reviews and a "Best of Senior Living" recognition, the community has earned some recognition from families and residents over the years. Brookside Farm sits in a neighborhood with access to health facilities, parks, and safe surroundings, blending independence with support and encouraging residents to enjoy life as fully as they are able, in a supportive-though simple-place to call home.
