Shady Hollow II Assisted Living sits on a quiet property at 11303 Aloysia Drive in Austin, Texas, with big shady trees, a grassy yard, and a vegetable garden that residents can enjoy if they're feeling up to it, and the house itself feels calm with quiet rooms and big windows that let in a lot of natural light, so the place takes on a homelike feeling that's clean and peaceful. The facility's pretty small, licensed for up to 16 residents, so staff can get to know each person well and offer personalized care, whether that means full assisted living or memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the team there can help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, getting around the house, and keeping up with medications, all while making sure there's 24-hour support and supervision for safety and comfort. There's also a focus on fresh, healthy meals-each one's homemade by a chef and meal planner, with attention to special diets for things like diabetes or high blood pressure-and three meals are served each day with snacks in between, so everyone's well-fed.
The facility doesn't allow pets so the environment stays calm, and they work to make things feel less like a big institution and more like a home, even having a traveling barber or stylist who comes in to help folks keep up appearances if they want. There're both private and shared room options, each coming with cable TV and Wi-Fi, and the rooms are fully furnished with clean linen service, which is handled regularly by housekeeping staff to keep everything tidy. Residents can expect help with moving around, whether that's simple standby assistance or transfers with lifts, and there's support for people who can manage their own incontinence, plus special care for diabetics, though those who get insulin shots need to manage those on their own. The staff stays on hand day and night, and they've got emergency response systems in place for quick help if anyone needs it.
Community life gets a lot of attention, with daily activities like tabletop games, movie nights, music therapy, and art, aimed at keeping people social and busy, and they organize community-sponsored events both onsite and offsite, making arrangements for transportation to doctor's visits, errands, and even faith services when needed, plus they've got safe walking paths and a backyard where folks can take a stroll or relax when the weather's good. The facility also supports seniors who only need temporary care, providing respite stays to give primary caregivers a break, and offers hospice support when the time comes, so nobody's forced to move if their care needs change-they really strive to help everyone age in place with respect and comfort.
Amenities round things out with things like jacuzzi, steam room or health area, a beauty shop, game and reading rooms, and plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces for gathering. Parking and close transportation come with the setup, and special accommodations make sure those using wheelchairs or needing help at night get proper attention. Shady Hollow II Assisted Living is committed to keeping each resident as independent as possible, giving support when asked, and making sure to offer choices in activities or meal planning whenever they can, which is reflected in their high resident satisfaction, with nearly three-quarters of reviews giving a five-star rating, and the staff's care and kindness show in the way they run the place day to day, working to make life feel safe, welcoming, and a little bit easier for everyone who lives there.
