Mirador Retirement Community sits in a neighborhood with lots of cultural diversity and friendly people, and it has a 17-acre campus with spacious grounds that look neat and well cared for, and with a three-story building that's designed for comfort, you'll see plenty of green space and walking paths for everyone to enjoy, and they allow pets too, so residents with animals don't have to leave their friends behind. Methodist Retirement Communities (MRC) owns and operates Mirador, and since it's a faith-based nonprofit, everything runs with the goal of serving older adults with care as a way to show Christ's love, and the whole place is overseen by a board of volunteers, so the focus stays on the residents' needs and not on profits. Everybody who lives there has a say in the community because Mirador supports both resident and family councils that meet to talk about concerns and try to improve the quality of life for everybody living there.
Residents can choose from one- or two-bedroom homes with kitchens, dining areas, walk-in closets, private bathrooms, and porches, and all the common areas are easy to get around in, so people with walkers or wheelchairs can move freely, and with options like covered parking, dry cleaning, all maintenance, utilities except for phone and internet, cable TV, and help from concierge staff and courtesy officers any hour of the day, daily living gets a little simpler. Mirador also offers all kinds of extra support, like a 24-hour call system for emergencies, regular transportation for shopping or medical appointments, and priority access to the on-site health services, so as folks' needs change, care is easy to get without much hassle. You'll find different levels of care there, like Independent Living for those who want more freedom, Assisted Living for people who need help with things like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, and Memory Support for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, and there's also Long-Term Care, Short-term Rehabilitation, and even Home Health services so people can get skilled nursing help in their homes if needed.
Inside, Mirador has a nice mix of amenities-there's a sparkling pool and a heated outdoor pool, a fitness and wellness center with modern equipment, a library filled with books, and even a movie theater for film nights. There are activities most days, including exercise, games, art, poetry, spiritual life, BBQ gatherings, and more, and The Plaza at Mirador serves as the hub for events and meeting up with others. If someone enjoys being part of a group, Mirador's community culture makes it easy for residents to build friendships and stay active in their interests, no matter if those are books, faith, or just spending time outside. Meals come with dining allowances, and several dining venues let folks try different foods, including real Texas BBQ, so there's some variety throughout the week.
The nursing home area of Mirador accepts Medicare, has 41 certified beds (with 9 open as of June 2025), and provides care to people who need help getting to and from wheelchairs or who might need staff assistance during sleep at night or during emergencies like evacuations. Skilled staff work around the clock to help with things like medication, supervision, transfers, bathing, and dressing, and with a focus on real, genuine care, Mirador tries to make sure residents and their families feel comfortable and cared for each day. Mirador's staff is known for being friendly and helpful, staying dedicated to encouraging independence but ready to offer more help when it's needed, no matter the type of care. People living with Alzheimer's or memory loss are welcomed to the Memory Support unit where extra kindness and respect come first, and independent folks can enjoy lots of freedom while always knowing help is close by if they need it.
The LifeCare Benefit lets residents know what to expect for future care costs, which gives some peace of mind about changes as time goes on. Mirador also offers virtual tours, so families can look around online before visiting. For those who value honesty, faith, community, and reliable care, Mirador Retirement Community keeps its focus on serving seniors with dignity and heart, without the distractions of trying to impress or promise things it can't deliver, and instead just works to give each person a comfortable, secure place to live well, stay healthy, and keep active as they age.
