The Cottages at Chandler Creek sits in a growing neighborhood in Round Rock, Texas, close to community parks, schools, and medical providers like Texas Pain & Spine Consultants and Medicine Chest pharmacy, so residents don't have to travel far for doctor visits or to pick up prescriptions, and people often enjoy the views of the surrounding parks and the safe walking paths out front. The place offers licensed assisted living and memory care services, with both North Cottage and South Cottage options, and it's designed especially for people living with Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's disease, and related disorders, providing a secure and calm environment, special layouts to reduce confusion and help with wandering, and the Vigil Dementia System with motion sensors and alarms for more safety. Residents can live in single or semi-private rooms, many with walk-in showers, closets, and big windows for natural light, and the décor features luxury finishes, hand-selected paintings, and comfortable home-like touches, with smaller group sizes-usually about 12-16 people-so staff can know everyone personally.
The staff includes licensed nurses, certified medication aides, and caregivers trained in dementia care who are there all day and night, offering continuous support, medication administration, bathing and transfer help, diabetic monitoring and incontinence care, and they're always ready to address any issues right away or update families promptly if something changes with their loved ones. The facility can accept residents with behavioral and cognitive challenges, including those at risk for wandering or with aggressive behaviors, and uses technology like alarm bracelets to keep everyone as safe as possible, while also being fully locked and alarm-equipped. Care plans are personalized, involving residents and their families, and there are programs for mild to heavy care needs, plus a dementia activity program with reminiscence sessions, story times, music, dance, gardening, arts and crafts, and group or individual activities, all run by a certified Alzheimer's activity director and reviewed to keep things fresh and meaningful.
Meals are served family style in each cottage, where people can gather together at tables for chef-prepared, home-cooked food with menus developed with a registered dietitian, and guests are welcome to join at mealtime, helping everyone stay social. There's on-site room service meals for added convenience, laundry and housekeeping, and beautician and barber services for haircuts, plus large living rooms, libraries, sunrooms, and an activity kitchen, so there's both quiet spots and lively gathering places inside. People can enjoy the outdoors too, in the covered porches, manicured gardens, patio areas, and paved walking paths, which help folks stay active and connected with nature, and there's a fitness room and a spa for anyone interested in wellness programs. The community's pet-friendly and allows both dogs and cats or small pets if they fit well in the group, and offers some pet care help.
Residents don't need to move out as they age or if their care needs change, because The Cottages supports "aging in place"-meaning people can stay even as they require more help, from light support to hospice care, and there's short-term or respite stays, with shared and private rooms at daily rates. There's parking for residents and guests, Wi-Fi, high-speed internet, outdoor recreation spaces, TV rooms, devotional and religious services, special programming for memory care, and a wander alert system for extra supervision. While there's no transportation service provided, healthcare professionals like doctors, nurses, podiatrists, therapists, pharmacists, and lab or x-ray providers visit the site as needed, and vaccinations for flu and Covid are given within the facility. The North and South Cottages each have their own set-up, and both work to create warm, familiar routines that make life easier for those with memory loss, with caring, attentive staff who help maintain a safe and home-like setting each day, and the community is known for its compassion and resident-centered approach.
