Brookdale Lakeway

Brookdale Lakeway is a senior living community with many features to help residents live comfortably and stay active, as there are services for those needing assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement communities, plus at-home care for those who want more help in their own space, and the apartments include studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts with kitchenettes, some with two bathrooms, and the living spaces are designed with easy access for wheelchairs and those with mobility needs, which is good for folks who have trouble getting around but still want privacy. The staff is around all day and night, every day of the week, to help in emergencies, while nurses handle basic medical services and a registered nurse oversees care coordination through the Brookdale HealthPlus Community program, so there's extra focus on health, with things like annual wellness visits and help with managing diabetes, blood pressure, and heart issues. You'll find a full-time activity director working on different programs during the week, like arts and crafts, local trips, lawn games, technology activities, music, gardening, daily cultural activities, and fitness classes, with spiritual and devotional services offered at places like The Auberge at Bee Cave, and there are support groups and companions to keep residents from feeling alone if they're new or just want company. Outdoor areas like courtyards, gardens, and patios are enclosed and kept up nicely, which gives residents a peaceful place to walk, sit, or even bring along their cats and dogs since the community is pet-friendly, and sometimes visiting pets stop by to cheer everyone up, and there's even pet and animal therapy for those who enjoy that kindness. Dining rooms are warm and have a welcoming feel, with three meals a day cooked by a chef, and special diets are available for people who need low-salt, low-fat, diabetic, renal, or other special foods, plus snacks and drink service, meal delivery, and private dining options if family or guests visit, and there are mailboxes, a lounge, TV rooms, indoor recreation, a conference room, and even copying and mailing services for resident needs. Therapy rooms offer occupational, physical, speech, and respiratory therapy as needed, with transfers and mobility assistance, including help for those needing two-person transfer-so every resident who needs mobility support gets taken care of, even if their needs are a bit heavier. Beauty salons, barber shops, laundry, daily housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance cover basic chores, so life is easier for everyone, and there are amenities like climate controls in units, den or study spaces, closet space, private outdoor patios, and professionally decorated interiors to help make things feel like home. The community offers regular outings for shopping, medical appointments, or just to enjoy the area, and there's guest parking for visitors, with special attention to transportation for wheelchairs and mobility aids, plus building safety features like controlled access, wellness checks, medical alert systems, fall prevention, and emergency response, so families know their loved ones are watched over. Staff train in many areas, including memory care, aging needs, nutrition, behavior, skin care, chronic illness, and emergency first aid, making sure they know how to help in a wide range of situations. Payment choices at Brookdale Lakeway include private pay, insurance, credit cards, and veterans benefits, and the facility also gives support with Medicaid and financial planning, and can help with elder law, notary, or veterans aid services.

Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (NYSE: BKD) is the largest senior living operator in the United States, managing over 640 communities with capacity for approximately 59,000 residents across 41 states and employing around 36,000 associates. Founded in 1978 and publicly traded since 2005, Brookdale solidified its market leadership through major acquisitions including American Retirement Corporation (2006) and Emeritus Senior Living (2014), making it the only national full-spectrum senior living company.

The company's comprehensive care continuum includes independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). Brookdale's signature Clare Bridge program, developed over 30 years ago by dementia-care experts, provides specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care through two distinct levels: Clare Bridge communities for comprehensive memory support and the Clare Bridge Solace program for advanced-stage dementia residents. The program is recognized by the Alzheimer's Association® for incorporating evidence-based Dementia Care Practice Recommendations and features secure environments, enclosed courtyards, Daily Path programming with six structured activities daily, and the InTouch technology platform offering personalized brain-stimulating games and therapeutic content.

Brookdale's holistic Optimum Life® wellness approach balances six dimensions—Purposeful, Physical, Emotional, Social, Spiritual, and Intellectual—implemented through signature programs including B-Fit (eight exercise class options), Brain Fit (mental fitness workouts), My Life Story (resident storytelling), EngagementPlus (interest-based connections), Growing Together (collaborative learning), and The Ageless Spirit (kindness and gratitude practices).
