The Summit at Lakeway stands as a nursing and rehabilitation center in Lakeway with a range of care options for older adults, and what you'll find if you go there is a facility that offers assisted living, skilled nursing, independent living, short-term rehab, home care help, memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, and even hospice care for those who need it toward the end, and while it's a for-profit place, you can use Medicare or Medicaid because they participate in those programs, and they have 98 certified beds but usually have about 74 residents with 76% occupancy, so rooms are available as of June 2025, and you'll see services for help with dressing, bathing, making transfers, medication management, and all those daily tasks people sometimes need a hand with, plus staff that include RNs, LPNs, and CNAs, along with therapists, physicians, and a range of dedicated professionals who provide 24-hour skilled nursing as well as 12-16 hour-a-day nursing services and a call system for assistance any time of day or night, so you don't have to worry about being left alone if you need support.
Residents have a choice of living spaces that might include private or shared rooms-each has its own bathroom, cable TV, phone, kitchenette, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, and they offer housekeeping, laundry, move-in coordination, and amenities like a beauty salon, parlor, fitness room, sauna, hot tub, a library, garden, and outdoor areas where you can walk, sit, or enjoy some sunshine, with restaurant-style dining in a community dining room, prepared meals from once up to twice daily, and menu options that take special needs like diabetes or allergies into account-some meals are all day, and there are even concierge services if you need a hand arranging things.
No two residents are the same, and that's why they make personalized care plans, coordinate with doctors, and provide specialized treatments like IV therapy, wound care, vaccinations, and pain management, and for those with memory needs, they provide a secure, supportive space with memory-enhancing activities, music and pet therapy, fitness programs, and daily schedules to help everyone feel engaged, safe, and respected, and the setting is very much designed for dignity, independence, and feeling at home, though the place is also fully sprinklered for fire safety, and they make sure people get flu and pneumonia shots, even if only about 62% of short-stay residents had the latter, and routines include regular checkups and pressure sore prevention, though around 7% of short-stay residents have had trouble with pressure sores or pain.
There's always something to do, with recreational and social activities, arts and games, scheduled outings, a computer center, on-site theater, resident- and community-run activities, support for pets if you have one, and transportation for medical visits or shopping, and they try to keep families involved too, with both resident and family councils to hear concerns and help everyone stay informed, plus independent living and assisted options ranging from single-family style homes to apartments-so there's a bit of flexibility depending on what you need at different times in your life, and if you need respite care, short-term stays, or end-of-life support, they're set up for that as well, all in an environment that feels more like a community than a hospital, even though it's a healthcare center called The Summit at Lakeway Healthcare Center.
