The Legacy at Oak Hill sits in Austin's Oak Hill neighborhood and has a quiet, peaceful setting with lots of green space and walking paths where folks can get some fresh air or just sit outside in the shade if that's what they like, and the place was built with memory care in mind since there's a special locked area just for people who wander or have dementia, so everyone stays safe and family can worry less, and you walk in and see a big inner courtyard with plants and paved paths, and you'll find two stories of apartments, some with views of the gardens and courtyard, and each unit comes furnished if needed, with private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, and if someone likes a bigger space there's studio and one-bedroom choices, along with plenty of gathering places for visiting or sitting with neighbors by the fireplace, usually with comfortable chairs and bright windows.
Staff speak English and are around 24 hours a day and if a resident needs help with bathing, medications, or even just reminders, there's always someone on hand, and specialized programs like Sodalis Bridges are there especially to help those living with Alzheimer's or other memory problems, plus nurses and therapists come by for check-ins, even a dentist and podiatrist, and there's always a care team that does medication management and takes care of daily needs like changing, washing, or getting around. Folks can bring their pet cats or dogs too, and there's care for them if owners can't manage, even a dog park for exercise, and if someone is prone to wandering or acting out sometimes, the memory care section is secured and designed to keep everyone comfortable and cared for, even if behaviors are a little unpredictable.
Inside, the common areas have been professionally decorated and are kept up nicely, with spots like a movie theater, a library for reading, a beauty/barber salon, a garden, business center with computers, game and music rooms, and a big activity room where events take place all the time-daily group programs include music, trivia, games, stretching classes, yoga, Tai Chi, gardening, cooking, karaoke, wine tastings, and sometimes trips out or intergenerational get-togethers, and there's even lifelong learning lectures if someone wants to keep their mind sharp. Family support, move-in help, and even transportation and resident parking are always available for errands or doctor visits, and housekeeping, laundry, and all home maintenance are taken care of so things stay simple and clean, and if anyone wants devotional time, there's services both onsite and out in the community.
Meals happen in a big dining room where a professional chef makes three nutritious restaurant-style meals every day, and folks with special diets-gluten-free, diabetic, allergy-friendly, or low salt-can always find something they can eat, and there's also options for private dining if someone has family over. There's a wellness center with exercise gear, accessible showers throughout, and all utilities except for personal phone and internet are included, so bills don't pile up, and when it comes to care, residents can get lighter help, medium or complex nursing services, or more steady assistance if needed, even up to hospice or behavioral support if that's what's needed, and care plans are built to change as people's health changes, all on the same campus, so moves to new rooms or areas happen smoothly when needed.
The Legacy at Oak Hill aims to make sure every resident finds both comfort and connection, whether they're there for assisted living, memory care, independent living, or even skilled nursing, and there's resources to help understand how to pay-information about using house sales, long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, tax deductions, or even Medicare and Medicaid. The place scores well in reviews, with an 8.9 Seniorly community score, and always keeps a full team on hand to respond to emergencies quickly, stay in touch with families, and make the transition to community living easier, so folks can focus on living fully in a safe, supportive setting.
