Shavano Park Senior Living is a senior living community that offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing home services for older adults, and they seem to pay a lot of attention to daily needs and comfort, as they've got care staff available around the clock, and they help with things like bathing and taking medicine but do their best to keep folks as independent as possible, so you can get help when you want it and still have your own routine, and the memory care program is designed for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, with specially trained care partners and monitored spaces, along with activities and therapies like music, art, pet therapy, and reminiscence therapy to help with agitation and support daily life. The facility has a variety of apartment floor plans, like suites, one-bedroom and two-bedroom options, plus named layouts like The Grove Suite, The Orchard One Bedroom, The Holston River Two Bedrooms, The Woodland Suite, Canyon Deluxe One Bedroom, and Canyon Friendship Private Bedroom, so residents can have a choice that fits what they prefer, and there are spacious living areas, including activity rooms, a TV room, a den, and a quiet room, along with a beauty parlor and barbershop for grooming needs. Meals are prepared on site, and people can pick from different dining options, whether that's in a restaurant-style setting, a private dining room with family, or using room service, and the kitchen can handle all sorts of special diets-including kosher, vegetarian, vegan, low or no sugar, and low-sodium, and there's always a supply of snacks.
For activities, Shavano Park Senior Living keeps a structured schedule with daily programs focused on social, educational, and recreational needs, like fitness center classes, game room activities, community outings, and signature experiences such as Daily Journey and Tune Into Me, while religious services for many faiths, art classes, and even sensory-based programming are available, and the facility encourages family members to join in with support groups and family dining spaces for special visits. Outdoors, residents can enjoy landscaped and secured courtyards, walking paths, patios, and garden areas, which offer fresh air and room to move around safely. The whole place tries to be a good spot for people to stay social if they wish, as there are TV lounges, a library, outdoor and indoor gathering places with fireplaces, a bistro café, and even parking for both residents and guests.
All the necessary services are handled, like weekly housekeeping, laundry, linen changes, and transportation for getting around town, and there's free Wi-Fi, free cable satellite TV, and a global rescue system for safety, which should help people and their families feel at ease, and they put safety and whole person well-being as top priorities by making sure residents have staff support at any hour. Living here comes with access to nursing care, respite care if families need a break, aging in place, and hospice services, and the care is personalized to each resident's strengths, routines, and preferences, with programs aimed at keeping people involved and reminding them of what they can do and achieve. The environment is meant to be comfortable but not too big or overwhelming-Shavano Park is a boutique-style setting that's a step up from a small residential care home but smaller than many large facilities, which sometimes helps people feel more at home. The main focus is making sure residents have choices for how they live each day and find what makes them comfortable.
