Overall sentiment in the reviews is strongly positive about the people and atmosphere at Texan House but highlights several important facility- and care-scope limitations. The dominant theme is consistently high praise for the staff and management: reviewers repeatedly describe the team as attentive, caring, flexible, and willing to go above and beyond. Multiple comments emphasize personal attention, companionship, and a family-like environment. Several reviewers credit management and staff with revitalizing the property and providing a stress-relieving respite for families, with one or more staff members (Chris named specifically) singled out as helpful contacts. The property’s scenic Texas Hill Country setting, tranquil grounds, pet-friendly policy, and small-community feel are also recurring positives that contribute to a comforting, home-like atmosphere for short stays or lighter support needs. Many reviewers explicitly recommend the facility and describe experiences as exceeding expectations, especially for respite or short-term stays where individualized attention and reassurance are priorities.
Care quality is viewed through a mixed lens: reviewers overwhelmingly praise the human side of care — warmth, companionship, attentiveness, and individualized response to personality and short-term needs — but several reviews make it clear that Texan House is not set up for more medically intensive care. Specific concerns include the absence of staff certified to administer medication, no emergency call system, and at least one reported resident fall. Multiple comments state the facility is not equipped as a full care home and that it is unsuitable for residents with serious memory problems. Thus, while the staff provide excellent relational care and supervision for many residents, the facility’s clinical and safety infrastructure appears limited and reviewers advise that Texan House is better suited to respite, independent, or low-dependency residents rather than those with significant medical or memory-care needs.
Facility and physical-layout feedback is mixed. The property, grounds, and scenic setting receive strong praise — described as beautiful, perfect layout for the site, and relaxing. However, several reviewers call out that some rooms were converted from barn stalls, resulting in cramped or dark rooms and bathrooms that are too small and not mobility accessible. The spatial separation between the main house and the converted rooms is mentioned as leading to a sense of isolation for residents in those rooms. These physical constraints tie directly to safety and accessibility concerns: lack of mobility-friendly bathrooms, no emergency call buttons in rooms, and the distance from central staff areas were cited as contributing to at least one fall incident and general unease for families worried about higher-care needs.
Dining and activities are another area of divergence. Many reviews list meals as a provided service (along with laundry and housekeeping) and praise the convenience of a full-service, home-like environment. Yet a few reviewers reported that meals were sometimes delivered cold and tasteless. Additionally, the activity program (or lack thereof) drew criticism: some reviewers noted a lack of activities, suggesting limited opportunities for engagement or structured programming. This reinforces the pattern that Texan House functions best as a respite or hospitality-focused senior stay rather than as a comprehensive assisted-living community with robust clinical, recreational, and memory-care programming.
Management and organizational themes are uniformly positive. Reviewers cite caring, involved owners and management who pay attention to details and show personal interest in residents’ needs. The leadership’s visible involvement is linked to high satisfaction, individualized care adaptations, and a sense that the staff will do what it takes during difficult situations. Affordability and proximity to shopping/entertainment were additional practical positives noted by multiple reviewers, making the facility attractive for families seeking short-term stays or lighter assistance in a scenic, community-oriented setting.
Notable patterns and actionable concerns: reviews consistently recommend Texan House for respite stays, pet-friendly short-term care, and for families seeking a small, loving, and attentive environment. At the same time, reviewers converge on several infrastructural and safety gaps — limited mobility access, small bathrooms, converted rooms that can be dark, lack of medication-certified staff, no emergency call buttons, and limited activity programming — which make the facility inappropriate for residents with significant medical needs or serious memory problems. Families considering Texan House should weigh the strong interpersonal care and tranquil environment against these physical and clinical limitations. In summary, Texan House shines for compassionate, individualized, short-term, and low-dependency senior stays in a lovely Hill Country setting, but it is not a substitute for a fully equipped assisted-living or memory-care facility.
