The Blake at New Braunfels stands as a two-story senior living community with both assisted living and memory care services, and they're waiting on a final state license. Here, residents get bright, cheerful private or semi-private rooms, some with walk-in closets, ten-foot ceilings, and options for balconies or porches, so spaces feel open and comfortable, and rooms come with their own kitchenettes too. Meal times include chef-prepared entrees served restaurant-style, plus healthy snacks, and the dining team adjusts menus for diabetic, kosher, vegetarian, and more, and guests and room service meals are available as well. Residents have Wi-Fi and cable TV access in their units, while common areas include a computer room and cable/satellite TV, and there's always coffee at the coffee shop or a reason to stop by the general store, movie room, or library.
The community offers lush gardens, neat courtyards, bocce ball courts, and a fitness center with yoga, Tai Chi, and stretching classes every day, and folks can take part in horticultural activities or golf, or join outings and trips that the staff organize. Staff includes a part-time nurse, specialized memory care directors, and a team that covers wellness, dining, activities, business operations, and sales, and round-the-clock nursing care's available. Housekeeping, laundry, linen changes, and maintenance remove any worry about chores. There's medication management, an on-site pharmacy, and diabetic care, plus help with daily living activities for those who need it. People with dementia or Alzheimer's have secure suites with special floor plans, a non-invasive monitoring system for safety, and tailored programs that focus on their needs, so families can have a bit more peace about their loved ones' well-being.
Residents have social and emotional engagement through Active Living programs, with games, hobbies, educational events, and religious services, as well as leadership programs and even a beauty salon for regular personal care. The Blake allows pets, and pet-friendly options make it easier for people to bring their companions, while outside there's plenty of space for walking or sitting in the sun. Parking is available for both residents and overnight guests, and transportation services make it easy to keep appointments or go shopping.
There's a concierge who helps with transportation and family communication, and security and monitoring technology helps keep everyone safe. The building has handicap accessible features, and the design brings brightness throughout with large windows and open common areas for socializing or quiet time. Families can visit with virtual tours, and residents can host guests for meals or overnight. The Blake at New Braunfels earned recognition for its focus on resident care, activities, and friendly staff, with awards in both care and activities during 2024, plus solid reviews averaging 7.7 from residents and families, and its whole staff aims for hospitality and personal attention in daily life here.
