Mary Lee Foundation Rehabilitation Center sits on a quiet 10-acre block in South Austin and has 16 senior apartments and assisted living units. The center offers both assisted living and memory care services, with staff that help residents who can't live alone, need medical supervision, or have special support needs like dementia or mild cognitive conditions. There're studio and one-bedroom apartments, some shared and some private, all with safety features, in-room washer and dryer, and furnished rooms ready when you move in. There's also 24-hour supervision and on-site security, regular nurse and physician checks, and a registered nurse on call, which means residents get health support like help with medication, dressing, bathing, transfers, and even manual feeding or help with physical therapy.
The building's wheelchair accessible, set up for non-ambulatory care, and supports folks with diabetes or those who need hospice or dementia waivers. There's a focus on making life easier, with services like housekeeping, laundry, move-in coordination, and scheduled transportation for things like doctor visits or community outings. Residents have a communal kitchen, library, games and reading rooms, arts and crafts, an on-site salon, a fitness center with health classes, big TV screens, and outdoor spaces like walking paths and a garden. Chef-prepared meals take into account special dietary needs, the dining room serves on a schedule, and snacks and drinks are often available throughout the day. Small pets are welcome. The facility offers both private and shared transportation and can help set up rides to appointments.
Special programs run daily and include things like boxing workouts, bowling, mini golf, and movie nights. Community-sponsored activities change often, and residents can use computers and Wi-Fi to stay connected. There's 24-hour awake staff, emergency alert systems, help within the building, falls and incontinence management, and even pharmacy and medication assistance right on site. Residents with learning disabilities or recovering from illness can use rehab services and therapeutic spaces to work on life skills and mobility, and there's a dedicated team to build personalized care plans for everyone. They'll also talk to healthcare providers as needed to keep everything on track.
So while the Mary Lee Foundation Rehabilitation Center is smaller than many places, it packs in a family-friendly atmosphere, meals tailored to each person, and reliable care for folks who need more support with everyday life or ongoing medical help. The staff offer skilled nursing, nursing home care, assisted living, respite care, mental wellness programs, and memory support, all in a setting that aims to be safe, comfortable, and as home-like as possible. The center is licensed as #30071, runs Monday to Thursday 8 AM to 5 PM, and is part of Austin, Texas's community of assisted living and rehabilitation centers.
