Silverado Barton Springs is a specialized memory care community located near Bee Cave, Cedar Park, Round Rock, and Buda, designed to enrich the lives of individuals living with dementia and other memory-related conditions. The environment is crafted to provide more than just assisted living; it is a place where dignity, engagement, and a sense of community are at the forefront of daily life.
