CelesteCare of Horseshoe Bay sits about five miles outside Granite Shoals near State Highway 71, and folks say it's got a peaceful, lakeside feel with views of Lake Lyndon B. Johnson and the Colorado River, with plenty of mature trees and wide Texas prairies all around. The place is medium-sized, with space for sixteen residents in studio rooms, and there are two separate stone buildings, one for assisted living and another for memory care, so people with different needs get the right kind of care and attention. This community focuses mostly on help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication, and meals, and the staff are known for being kind and helpful, especially in memory care, where people living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia get specialized support and activities to help their minds stay as sharp as possible.
Residents at CelesteCare get three nutritious meals a day, with options for special diets, and there's housekeeping, linens, cable TV, WiFi, and telephone service set up in the rooms, which folks describe as small but comfortable, though the hallways can be a bit narrow. Transportation is available for doctor appointments and such, and activity programs run most every day, designed to get people talking, moving, and thinking, with a general atmosphere of friendly support and routine. There's also a focus on wellness, coordination with outside healthcare providers, and 24-hour supervision to make sure everyone's well looked after, and respite care is available for folks who just need help for a short while.
Around the county, support groups and clubs help seniors and families stay connected, covering everything from memory loss, heart health, cancer, and grief to book clubs, music groups, and even square dancing. The Bluebonnet Chorale practices weekly, and there are meetings for Disabled American Veterans and Narcotics Anonymous in nearby towns. Social, political, and prayer groups meet at local churches and community buildings, and caregiver support meetings take place both at CelesteCare and in Llano.
Some folks mention the entrance road could use repaving, and the building is closed on weekends, being open from nine to six on weekdays. The setting is described as quiet and home-like, and while the rooms might feel snug, people like the community's active lifestyle options and thoughtful staff. Reviews are good, with a 4.5-star average out of six reviews, and many families say the staff go about their work with compassion and understanding. CelesteCare of Horseshoe Bay provides a secure and steady environment, focusing on giving folks a safe, friendly place to live, with a steady hand to help when needed.
