LiveOak Living Community is a unique and innovative assisted living environment that has been serving adults with cognitive disabilities since 2002. Founded with the vision of creating a supportive and enriching community for individuals with mental illness, brain injuries, developmental disabilities, and autism, LiveOak emphasizes a whole-life approach to care. The community is intentionally designed to support personal growth, social engagement, and lifelong opportunities, helping residents thrive in a caring and inclusive atmosphere.
The community is comprised of three distinct locations, each tailored to provide varying levels of support and opportunities to meet the diverse needs of its residents. LiveOak Ranch is a scenic 63-acre property located just seven miles from San Marcos, offering a peaceful, spacious setting where residents can enjoy nature and community activities. LiveOak Apartments consists of a cozy five-unit apartment complex, providing a more independent living option within the supportive framework of the overall community. SmithHouse, a welcoming seven-bedroom group home nestled in downtown San Marcos, offers a warm family-like setting and close proximity to local amenities and activities.
At LiveOak Living Community, inclusion is not simply a program but a fundamental mindset that infuses every aspect of daily life. The staff and community members work together to ensure that everyone is respected, valued, and empowered to pursue their personal interests and goals. Visitors are welcome to stay overnight to fully experience the unique atmosphere and see firsthand the culture of mutual respect and support that defines LiveOak. The focus at LiveOak goes beyond providing basic care; it offers an environment where individuals can actively participate in community life, form lasting friendships, and explore their own pathways to growth and fulfillment.
