Mesa Springs Retirement Village is a senior living community in Abilene, Texas, that sits on 40 acres filled with wildflowers, scenic meadows, walking trails, a creek, and local wildlife like wild turkeys and songbirds, so you'll see plenty of nature if you like being outside or strolling with your dog since they do allow pets there. The grounds are quiet, spread across cul-de-sac streets, and there's a nice family feel that comes from seeing neighbors out and about or gathered in community spaces. Residents 55 and older can pick from different home styles, like roomy apartments, custom executive homes, or easy garden homes, with features like kitchens, private or semi-private settings, and their own bathrooms, with cozy and comfortable designs meant for hassle-free living. Housekeeping, linen service, and both interior and exterior maintenance are standard, so you won't have to worry about chores, and there's weekly housekeeping too, which a lot of people find helpful.
The village offers several levels of care across Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, and short-term Respite Care. For those wanting independence, there are low-maintenance apartments and homes with access to amenities, daily activities, scheduled outings, fitness classes, and wellness programs, all meant to help seniors stay active and connected. Assisted Living supports daily needs like bathing, dressing, and help with medications. Memory Care is there for people with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, with programs that help reduce confusion and keep residents safe from wandering. The community has a skilled nursing facility and state-of-the-art therapy spaces, offering in-house physical, occupational, and speech therapy, with medical care available day and night, and rehab for those needing either short-term or long-term support, plus wound care and mental wellness programs.
Dining options include restaurant-style meals in a luxurious dining room, daily lunch service, and kitchens in apartments for those who like to cook. People can gather in the dining room to eat with friends, or use one of the common rooms like the beauty salon, small library, or game and computer centers, since the facility is set up for social activities and personal enrichment. There's a fitness room, outdoor gardens, patios, and plenty of space for walking or joining in on wellness activities, yoga, or organized events. The place is designed so there's things to do for anyone, whether that's attending scheduled daily activities or excursions, or relaxing in the community's shared spaces. Residents can use community transportation for non-medical trips or appointments, but there's the option to keep your own car too.
