Austin’s Community-Centered Care Option

All our communities are guided by one principal philosophy: “Life should be shared in community.” All aspects of life in our communities are guided by this maxim. We offer companion bedroom options for residents who prefer to live in community rather than individually. Restaurant-style dining and other community activities encourage socialization, relationship-building among our residents, and daily physical activity. All this and more helps us to provide the safest, warmest living environment possible for your loved one.

The Seven Petal Plan™: Our Unique Approach

As part of our Compassionate Memory Care model of caring for residents with dementia, we create a customized approach to care for each of our residents based on the Seven Petal Plan. This plan focuses on the seven dimensions of Story, Structure, Strengths, Spirituality, Safety, Socialization, and Support. Placing each resident at the center of their care plan, this evidence-based approach helps us provide meaningful and effective support to your loved one.
