Baptist Retirement Community sits on a spacious 100-acre property in San Angelo, Texas, and has a long 60-year history serving seniors in West Texas. The community offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, long-term care, rehabilitation, and nursing care, so residents can get the right support as their needs change. Private apartments come with fully equipped kitchens, and there are three main independent senior living choices: Northgate Estates with gated two- and three-bedroom homes, East and West Village close to social activities with one-, two-, and three-bedroom houses and duplexes, and Henley-Mabee Apartment High-Rise, which has studios and larger suites, some with kitchens. All utilities, water, and sewer service are included for residents.
Medical care and supervision happen on site with help from professionals, along with scheduled medication management and personal assistance as needed. The community features an on-site urgent care clinic run by Shannon Clinic, and residents have access to physical, occupational, and speech therapy without having to leave the property. Housekeeping, maintenance, trash pick-up, repairs, pest control, and lawn care are handled, and residents in the Henley-Mabee High-Rise get housekeeping services, too. Transportation is offered for medical appointments. There's an on-site pharmacy with free delivery, and meal delivery is available from Main Street Café, while the dining program is flexible with fresh meals that fit everyone's schedule. The community focuses on good nutrition for seniors.
For safety, security plans are regularly checked, and safety staff are on duty during weekday nights and available 24/7 on weekends. There's a focus on both independence and connection, with clubhouses and activity rooms where residents can gather or host parties and family events. Guest rooms help families and friends visit comfortably, and water features around the grounds make the outdoor spaces relaxing.
The Elsie Gayer Chapel, which has been renovated, stands as a space for spiritual growth, and many programs-like Bible studies, chaplaincy services, and community celebrations-reflect the faith-based foundation and servant-hearted mission of Buckner Retirement Services and Buckner International. The SageCrest Alzheimer's Care Center and The Crest memory care home provide specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, while Green House® Homes at Sagecrest offer a different style of supportive senior living.
Residents have access to several amenities, including a wellness center, a computer lab, a library, beauty and barber salons, a restaurant, a gift shop, a thrift shop, and a sewing room. Programs include outings, events, fitness and wellness classes, movie nights, day trips, and holiday or family celebrations, some even in partnership with Buckner Children and Family Services. There's also a big focus on socializing, spiritual well-being, staying active, and keeping a sense of purpose every day.
Caregivers and staff work to help each resident maintain independence while offering support when it's needed, with a community atmosphere that encourages happiness, choice, and friendships at every stage. The community balances faith, health, wellness, and daily living, striving for a good quality of life with personal attention and plenty of chances for residents to be part of a close-knit neighborhood in San Angelo.
