Qualified caretakers

Medical background of owner and husband make them qualified for any part of 99-year old's care. Expertise on hospice care setup helped greatly. Caretakers show they care about people in their care.

Highly Recommended

Everyone at this community including the owners are very loving and caring. Their main purpose is to take care of the elderly and the residents at this community. My family member is not able to do much but the people at the community do leg and arm exercises to keep him moving. He has became so much more engaging and open since being here.

[name removed] and his wife, the owners of the facility, were a delight to talk to about placement options for my mother. Their medical backgrounds provided me with a sense of confidence that my mother, who has multiple health issues, would be welcomed and safely cared for. The facility looked clean, efficiently run, and employees were friendly and welcoming. Will definitely consider South Austin Assisted Living when I am able to convince my mother and family that it is time to move. Thank you.

I chose this community because it was a smaller community in a house. So more one on one care. He is bed bound so there isn't much he can actually do. So he loves food and visits from friends. The food could use some improving and they are trying to accommodate him as best as they can. It stays clean and there is no smells. I would recommend this place.

A very Caring Place

My mother was at South Austin Assisted Living in hospice for a short time but for the few days she was there she was under great care. My mother had memory issues along with being ill and we had looked at some of the large facilities and they would not have been a good fit for my mother's situation. It gave me great peace of mind to have my mom stay at South Austin Assisted Living even though it was for a short time she was taken care of by caring people and I would definitely recommend this place to everyone who h…

They did an excellent job the week my father was there. They were very clean, very attentive and very caring. There is another lady there that we visited with some and I don't think they have many activities from what I heard, so they might try to improve that. They went through a lot of trouble to prepare my father's food, since he was on a special diet, which we appreciated and we felt he was always kept very clean while he was there.
