Families in Austin, Texas realize their good fortune to have some of the best senior living communities in the country right within their city limits. This beautiful, welcoming property was mindfully designed to be full of life, from the vibrant landscaping to the big-hearted caregivers with a reputation for bringing sunshine to patients. Senior residents enjoy the peaceful environment, while visiting families love having all the nearby attractions on a property that isn’t hidden away, out of sight, or out of mind.
Challenges
There truly is no place like home. That’s the heart-wrenching challenge for a senior living community. Residents deserve to live out their golden years with dignity and respectWhat’s forgotten, though, are the little visual touches of home that can make all the difference. A simple view of a garden area can mean the world to a grandmother who tended her own flower beds for years.
Another challenge on this property was gaining access to these various areas, as security guidelines for senior care homes are necessarily strict. Similarly, logistics can be challenging as extra caution is needed when working near residents in outdoor spaces, plus the additional visitors arriving on weekends and holidays.
As for the space available for enhancing the outdoor areas, it’s limited, and in fact, most of this urban area’s commercial properties have little square footage for landscaping.

A Property to Be Enjoyed
Yellowstone Landscape is proud to beautify the lives of seniors who now call this property home. Most of who would love to still be living independently in their homes, still mowing their own lawn, maybe trimming their roses in the fall. Time marches on though, and we are proud that our company can provide and maintain an attractive landscape for the residents to enjoy.
Every member of our team would want the same for our senior family members and for ourselves someday after many seasons have flown by. A little touch of home, a few crape myrtles rustling in the breeze, some soft grass to walk across at sunset.
We appreciate our client trusting us with such an important property with the highest standards. It’s no surprise this retirement home was recently named as one of the top three senior living communities in the Southwest.
