Our House Senior Living Apartments – Austin provides assisted living as its core level of care, supporting residents who need help with daily activities while still wanting to maintain as much independence as possible. Short-term or respite stays can be arranged when space permits, giving caregivers a break or helping individuals recover after a hospital stay. For residents managing chronic conditions, staff members are trained in diabetes care and can help monitor blood glucose levels, coordinate meals, and remind residents about medication. A speech therapist is available to address swallowing issues, speech changes, or other communication concerns that often accompany aging or certain medical conditions.
Additional medical support is delivered on site to reduce the need for outside appointments. Services include incontinence care, assistance for residents who use walkers or wheelchairs, and a dedicated program for memory care, with spaces specifically designed for individuals who have memory loss. A separate memory care wing adds another layer of structure and safety for those living with dementia. Medication coordination and management are handled by trained staff, and hospice services can be arranged when end-of-life care becomes appropriate. Occupational and physical therapists visit regularly to help residents maintain function, while a podiatrist addresses foot health. A structured wellness program tracks vital signs, mobility goals, and overall health status.
Apartments vary in layout and features, but many include wheelchair-accessible showers, standard safety grab bars, and private bathrooms. Floor plans allow pets, and the community has outdoor areas for walking or sitting, although not all units have direct patio access. Parking is available for residents and visitors. Because configurations and features differ, families should confirm which specific accommodations are included with the apartment they select.
Residents receive three meals a day in the dining room. Menus are planned to meet nutritional guidelines and can be adjusted for common dietary needs such as diabetic or low-sodium requirements. Staff members monitor intake for residents who need assistance, and snacks are available between meals to help maintain stable blood sugar and adequate caloric intake.
Recreational amenities are designed to keep residents engaged. An activity center hosts events ranging from happy hour gatherings and birthday parties to live music and dances. There are paved walking paths and general outdoor areas for those who enjoy spending time outside. The library and computer lounge offers quiet reading space and internet access, while organized social outings connect residents to the larger Austin community. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
