Austin is known for its music scene, parks, Hill Country, and, of course, Texas-style BBQ. But it’s also an ideal spot for an assisted living community: This extraordinary city offers excellent health care facilities, an attainable cost of living, stunning natural landscapes, and a rich cultural scene.
If you’ve already decided on Austin, congrats! The next step is determining the level of support your loved one requires. If they don’t need assistance with their daily routines, a 55+ property or independent living option might serve their purposes. Otherwise, you may need to research long-term assisted living and memory communities like Tech Ridge Oaks.
There might be other care options on your radar as well, like concierge senior living. You might be unfamiliar with that term, which isn’t surprising. It’s a newer option for older adults that works well for some of them.
What are senior concierge services?
Concierges work at many hotels, assisting guests with tasks like changing their rooms and making dinner reservations for them. There are also non-senior living concierge services that older adults can pay for while they’re still living at home. These companies contract with employees who run errands, take seniors to appointments, and clean their homes.
“Concierge senior living” is a concept more often geared toward independent living/retirement community residents. These team members do extra things for residents, like setting up transportation and arranging for pet walkers. The residents pay for the actual services themselves, though.
What is full-service, long-term care?
This category is another style of Austin retirement living. A full-time, long-term senior community is a dedicated living space designed for older adults seeking a rewarding, supportive lifestyle that encourages independence. The levels of support range from independent to nursing care.
These communities typically offer amenities like fitness centers, recreational activities, and dining options, all aimed at promoting a healthy and active way of life. Residents also benefit from on-site health care services and accessible, easy-to-navigate layouts.
These communities build and strengthen social connections, allowing seniors to enjoy organized events and communal spaces. By providing a sense of independence and personalized support, senior communities support seniors’ evolving care needs.
And not to make things too complicated, concierge-style service is available at some retirement communities and is already included in the monthly bill (including Tech Ridge Oaks!) These wonderful folks help residents with coordinating their mail, scheduling transportation, signing up for activities, family inquiries/visits, and more.
