Rio Terra Senior Living sits in New Braunfels, Texas, about five minutes from Interstate 35, in a gated, resort-style community where residents can choose from cottages, independent living, assisted living, and memory care programs, so there's flexibility for different needs and stages of life. The place offers a mix of housing like studio apartments of 398 or 514 square feet, two-bedroom, one-bath apartments at 615 square feet, and cottages named Citrine, Jasmine, and Vermillion that feature two bedrooms and two bathrooms, fenced-in backyards, and garages, usually ranging from 1,400 to 1,600 square feet. They've got different floor plans like Indigo, Persian, Sapphire, Cobalt, and Teal for independent living, with sizes going from 514 up to 1,440 square feet, and residents who like to cook can do so in kitchens in some apartments, though the culinary team also serves three chef-prepared meals every day in dining rooms and private dining spaces. Folks can take part in a wide range of activities, including outings, board games, movie nights with popcorn, social hours, Bible studies, clubs, exercise classes, and poker night.
The property maintains a Resident-First philosophy and focuses on care tailored to each person, with staff on site who help with daily living, medicine, health needs, and scheduling appointments, and for those in assisted living or memory care, there are specific programs and skilled help for various levels of support, including memory care options for adults with dementia or Alzheimer's. Safety features include 24-hour nurse care, emergency response systems, pull cords, pendants, safety-equipped bathrooms, wheelchair accessibility, and set visitor policies. Regular housekeeping, linen service, apartment upkeep, and maintenance come with the cost, and there's scheduled transportation available for appointments, shopping, and planned group outings into the community.
The campus has plenty of shared areas-a library with internet, fitness center, theater, sewing room, clubhouse, activity room, dining spaces, chapel, bistro, heated pool, and pub-where residents can meet friends, attend events or enjoy hobbies, and there's a resident portal for managing schedules or community news. The outdoor spaces include landscaped grounds and private yards for cottage residents, which help bring a bit of home to the mix. There's also a barber shop and beauty salon. Rio Terra aims to help people maintain their independence for as long as possible, supporting transitions between care levels right in the same community. Folks can move between independent living, assisted living, and memory care as needs change, and skilled nursing care is also available on site. The community works to keep life both affordable and comfortable, with options to fit most people's needs and a lifestyle designed for safety, social connection, and something to look forward to each day.
