The Lodge at Leon Springs sits in the quiet Texas Hill Country and has stood as a family-owned and operated community since 1996, welcoming up to 14 residents in a spacious Spanish-style home surrounded by trees, wildlife, and a natural spring-fed creek, and you'll notice the homelike feel right away with friendly, loyal, and dedicated staff who help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and moving from bed to wheelchair, but everyone here needs to be able to self-evacuate and manage their own incontinence since there's no routine overnight checks. Residents can choose from independent living cottages or assisted living suites, and what's interesting is no two apartments are the same and most have screened patios that let you enjoy the country air while watching wildlife or just relaxing.
People at The Lodge at Leon Springs get three meals a day-usually home-cooked and with options for allergies and diabetes-and the staff takes pride in serving nutritious and tasty food with all-day dining, and there's always a seat waiting in the common dining room. Besides meals, you'll find simple comforts like furnished rooms with telephones, housekeeping, laundry, and scheduled transportation to keep life easier. You'll also see the grounds have walking paths, gardens, and plenty of room to stroll, plus indoor and outdoor spaces for relaxation or a friendly chat with neighbors, which fosters their "Senior Buddies" culture that helps friendships grow. Folks can bring their pets to live here, but nobody smokes inside the cottages or public spaces.
Activities come up often, with movie nights, movement classes, and group programs that keep residents active and encourage socializing, though you won't see a long schedule of specific hobbies posted. There's a focus on spiritual support too, with devotional services held onsite and offsite for those who want them, and a tranquil, family atmosphere that's felt throughout. The Lodge provides short-term respite care for families who need a safe place temporarily, and they do work with people who have dementia or memory issues, although every resident needs some ability to care for themselves. They assist with health management-things like blood sugar checks, managing medications, and helping residents work with outside medical providers-though staff can't give insulin injections, which is something people should know, but the staff are awake and on-site at all hours for emergencies.
The care team has a staff-to-resident ratio of about 1:6, which lets them give personal and compassionate support to every person, whether someone needs help with bathing, dressing, eating, or getting around, and their range of services encourages "Aging in Place," so folks don't have to move away when care needs change. The grounds are described as beautiful and serene, and the cottages are said to have that perfect-small-home feel, making the setting peaceful and friendly for those wanting a quieter pace. The Lodge at Leon Springs follows the state's rules for assisted living under Texas License #146667 and includes both independent and assisted living options, plus short-term stays and hospice services for those who need them. While management has been criticized in the past for poor communication, many find the staff to be warm and helpful, and the sense of community here is strong. The Lodge aims to prioritize each resident's dignity and independence while helping them live safely and with comfort.
