Asher Point Independent Living of Waco sits in a quiet area near Lake Waco in Texas, with large trees and green spaces all around, and the building itself stands three stories high, with comfortable studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, as well as cottage homes, all designed for older adults who want to live independently without needing daily help. The community's homes come with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, patios or balconies in some units, self-controlled heating and air conditioning, and basic cable, while some units are wheelchair accessible or even designed barrier-free for better mobility. Residents can bring their pets because the community is pet-friendly, and every day, people enjoy three homestyle meals in shared dining spaces, with food made to suit preferences-and the staff cooks made-to-order entrees using seasonal ingredients, which makes meals feel homey and relaxed, and there's even a place for guest and private dining if people want company or a special occasion.
Social areas like the game room, activity room, library, salon, country store, and cozy theater encourage people to connect or take part in hobbies, and there's a full calendar of events with things like billiards, arts and crafts, movies, dance, music, workshops, and holiday parties, with club activities and outings in the local area, so no one ever feels bored or left out. Walking paths, a gym, a large-print library, courtyards, and a garden patio let folks stay active or just sit outdoors, and the chapel is a calm place for quiet time. Asher Point offers essential services like scheduled transportation to shopping or appointments, light housekeeping, linen services, maintenance, on-site laundry, and groundskeeping, so daily chores don't pile up; the community even gives people all-inclusive rent, so cable, utilities, and water are paid together by private pay or card. Residents get safety features like a 24-hour emergency system, remote call devices, safety rails in bathrooms, and locked mailboxes, and technology in common areas includes WiFi, a business center, and cable TV. The cottages and apartments come with storage, guest parking, covered parking, elevators, and individual climate controls, and people can invite overnight guests if they want to.
The staff and care team have a good reputation, with people saying they're helpful and friendly, and since Holiday Retirement owns and operates the community-while Sagora Senior Living also has ties-there's a long track record for providing this kind of independent living since 1971. Prospective residents can tour the building, see dining and amenities, meet staff and residents, and get a real feel for how daily life goes before making any decisions. The community designed its independent living options for seniors who like to handle their routines, but enjoy the support of shared meals, social opportunities, wellness programs, and the peace of mind that comes from safe surroundings and a helpful staff, with the nearby lake making the setting feel calm and pleasant.
