HHSC first licensed it on March 13, 2020, about 6 years ago. Ask what has been renovated and whether ownership or management has changed in that time, since the licensee and management company above are the current ones.
On Cabela's Drive in Buda, roughly 25 minutes south of downtown Austin. Managed by JCI Senior Housing (the same operator as The Philomena in Kyle and SoCo Village in Austin). Offers assisted living plus a memory care neighborhood called The Retreat, and publishes Facility No. 110310.
Buda Oaks is at 1120 Cabela's Drive in Buda, about 25 minutes south of downtown Austin in one of the region's fastest-growing suburbs. It is managed by JCI Senior Housing, the same Austin-headquartered operator that runs The Philomena in Kyle and SoCo Village in south Austin, and the site publishes Facility No. 110310 in its footer. The community has been recognized with Best of North Hays County awards in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025.
Two care levels are offered: assisted living, with a full-time licensed nurse and help for mobility, bathing, dressing, medication management and continuous health monitoring, plus on-site physical, occupational and speech therapy through a partnership with FOX Rehabilitation; and memory care in a neighbourhood called The Retreat, a secure setting with care associates on-site 24/7 and staff who have completed the national Certified Dementia Practitioner course. Housekeeping, laundry and maintenance are included, along with scheduled transportation to appointments and outings.
Activities named on the site include gardening projects, cake decorating, an Out of Breath Hiking Society, and donation drives for local families in need, plus artwork from local artists displayed throughout the community. Tours are arranged at (512) 906-2225.
What does Buda Oaks Assisted Living and Memory Care's Type B license mean for a resident?
Buda Oaks Assisted Living and Memory Care holds a Type B license, which allows residents who need staff help to evacuate, need attendance at night or need help transferring, as long as they are not permanently bedfast.
Type B is the license most Austin-area communities hold, and it is the only one that can carry an Alzheimer's certification.
34 of its 132 licensed places (26%) are Alzheimer's-certified. That certified number is the cap on memory care residents, so ask how many of those places are open today and whether assisted living residents get priority when one opens.

These citations span 2026 to 2026. A citation is a finding that a rule was not met on the day of the visit, not a measure of overall quality; where no correction date is shown, ask the community for its plan of correction. What matters on a tour is whether the same kind of finding repeats, and what changed afterwards.

Penalties are public because they are meant to be read. The useful question for the community is not whether it has ever been fined, but what it changed: ask the executive director to walk you through the most recent one.

How does Buda Oaks Assisted Living and Memory Care compare with other assisted living in Hays County?
At 132 licensed places, Buda Oaks Assisted Living and Memory Care is 3.7 times the size of the median Austin-metro assisted living license (36 places) and holds about 12% of the 1,108 licensed places in Hays County's 20 facilities.
| Measure (HHSC record) | Buda Oaks Assisted Living and Memory Care | Austin metro / county context |
|---|---|---|
| Licensed places | 132 | median 36 |
| Alzheimer's-certified places | 34 | 84 of 162 metro licenses are certified |
| Cited violations in published inspection history | 14 | median 2 per license |
| Administrative penalties listed | 1 | 8 of 20 Hays County facilities have one or more |
Size cuts both ways. A large campus usually means more amenities, a deeper staff bench and an on-site move from assisted living to memory care; it can also mean more residents per caregiver on a given shift and more inspection findings simply because there is more to inspect. Ask for the staffing ratio on the floor your parent would live on, not the building average.
What does assisted living cost near Buda?
Buda Oaks Assisted Living and Memory Care does not publish its rates in the state record, and we do not estimate them. The best published benchmark is the 2025 CareScout Cost of Care Survey Texas median of $5,666 a month ($184 per day) for a private one-bedroom in assisted living, which is a statewide figure, not an Austin one.
Austin's rapid growth, competitive labor market, and newer inventory generally push local pricing above the Texas median. We do not publish an Austin-specific dollar figure because no primary source publishes one. Ask each community directly for a current all-in monthly quote.
CareScout does not survey memory care as a separate category, so no authoritative memory care median exists for Texas or for Austin. Any memory care price you see quoted online is an estimate, not survey data. Expect a certified memory care place to cost more than assisted living in the same building.
Ask for the base rent, the care-level fee your parent would be assessed at today, and what moves them to the next level, all in writing. See what senior care costs in the Austin area and how STAR+PLUS can cover assisted living services.
