Golden Age Home

Specialties

We refer to assisted living as residents who live independently in apartment style accommodation, and come and go as they please. We assist them by providing three meals daily, housekeeping, safety, security and some social programs.

Additional planned care, such as bathing, laundry and assistance with medication is available upon request.

We offer a supportive housing facility designed for those who need extra help in their day-​to-​day lives but who do not require the 24-​hour skilled nursing care found in traditional nursing homes.

History

Established in 1959.

In the late 1950s it became apparent to many active Methodist Church members in central Texas that there was a need for a Christian environment for the elderly who could no longer maintain their own homes. There these ladies and gentlemen could receive necessary medical care, a balance diet, and planned activities.

Construction began in 1959 on a 100-​bed home located on 20 acres just south of Lockhart. The balance of the building housed retirees in the rural setting which allowed for gardens and landscaping by the residents.

Residents enjoyed a small chapel, activity room, and dining room, as well as their private living quarters. The popularity of the Golden Age Home quickly grew so that there was a waiting list for admission and only residents who could walk in and care for themselves were accepted.

In 1990, renovation converted the 1959 building into an Assisted Living facility. Additional renovation in 1997 yielded apartments for independent living.
