Who operates Georgetown Living, and how large is it?

Georgetown Living is licensed to Mph Texas Group INC, with 32 licensed places in total, the 93rd-largest of the 162 active assisted living licenses in the five-county Austin metro.

HHSC first licensed it on December 22, 2009, about 17 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.

Assisted living facility on Shell Road in west Georgetown which describes itself as one of the first assisted living facilities in Georgetown and one of the few Alzheimer's certified facilities in the city. It offers assisted living and certified memory care in a non-corridor floor plan where resident rooms sit close to common areas, with garden beds and outdoor areas.

Georgetown Living is at 2700 Shell Road, Georgetown, on grounds the operator describes as offering both city surroundings and Texas countryside, with a walkway across roughly 15 acres. The operator states it was one of the first assisted living facilities in Georgetown and remains one of the only Alzheimer's certified facilities in the city. Three founding members have healthcare backgrounds; co-founder Dr. Char Hu has been appointed to the Texas Council of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders and served as a board chairman for Texas Alzheimer's. Director Jane Lowrance was the second employee hired. The same ownership group has established other local healthcare companies.

The building deliberately rejects the corridor model: rooms are clustered close to each other and to common areas so residents are not lost in hallways, staff sightlines are maintained, and amenities stay within reach. Private and semi-private rooms are available, with large ADA-accessible private half bathrooms, emergency call systems in bathrooms and living rooms, optional motion-sensing services for fall prevention, individually coloured doors to aid orientation, and double alcoves with solid doors for sound dampening. The community operates its own Medicare-certified home health agency, giving it in-house physical, occupational and speech therapists and nurses. Activities listed are arts and crafts, range-of-motion exercise, music, holiday celebrations and animal therapy. No licence number is published on the site.

Outdoor space includes a sheltered porch, gazebo, fish pond and two garden areas, one with a concrete infinity path and vegetable beds. A petting zoo holds longhorns, sheep, goats and donkeys. Families come from Georgetown, Sun City, Round Rock, Liberty Hill, Cedar Park, Leander and North Austin.

What does Georgetown Living's Type B license mean for a resident?

Georgetown Living 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.

All or nearly all of its 32 licensed places (32) are Alzheimer's-certified, so this is a dedicated memory care building rather than an assisted living community with a memory care wing.

What do Texas HHSC inspections show for Georgetown Living?

The TULIP record lists 5 cited state violations for Georgetown Living: 0 from health inspections and 5 from life safety code (fire and building) inspections, with the most recent inspection exiting on November 18, 2025. Each citation carries the date the facility corrected it.

These citations span 2019 to 2019. A citation is a finding that a rule was not met on the day of the visit, not a measure of overall quality, and every one listed here shows a correction date. What matters on a tour is whether the same kind of finding repeats, and what changed afterwards.

Has Georgetown Living been fined or sanctioned by Texas HHSC?

No. The TULIP record lists no administrative penalties or other enforcement actions for Georgetown Living as of October 24, 2026.

Enforcement in Texas assisted living usually takes the form of an administrative penalty: a fine tied to a specific rule. A blank enforcement record means none is published for this license; it does not mean the community has never been cited, so read it alongside the inspection history above.

Where is Georgetown Living in Georgetown, and what else is licensed nearby?

Georgetown Living is at 2700 Shell Rd, Georgetown, Texas 78628, in Williamson County. The nearest other licensed assisted living building is Platinum Resort Assisted Living & Memory Care, about 1.6 miles away.

Georgetown's senior care market exists at the scale it does largely because of Sun City Texas, a Del Webb 55-plus development of roughly 7,500 to 8,500 homes. A concentration of active retirees eventually produces demand for care as residents age in place, and Georgetown has more purpose-built senior housing per capita than its size would predict.

Straight-line distances from HHSC geocodes; drive times are longer.

How does Georgetown Living compare with other assisted living in Williamson County?

At 32 licensed places, Georgetown Living is 0.9 times the size of the median Austin-metro assisted living license (36 places) and holds about 1% of the 3,251 licensed places in Williamson County's 60 facilities.

A smaller building tends to mean the same caregivers every day and a quicker read on a resident's changes; it can also mean less depth when staff are out. Ask who covers nights and weekends and what happens when a regular caregiver is off.

What does assisted living cost near Georgetown?

Georgetown Living 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.

What should you ask on a tour of Georgetown Living?

Bring questions built from the state record rather than the brochure: the record tells you where to push, and a good community answers them without hesitation.

1. Can I see the report from your most recent life safety code visit and your plan of correction?
2. How many of your 32 Alzheimer's-certified places are open, and what is the overnight staff ratio inside the secured unit?
3. Which care needs would mean my parent has to leave, and how much notice do families get?
4. Who administers medications, and are they a licensed nurse or a trained attendant?
5. What does the care-level assessment cost and how often is it repeated?
6. Do you contract with STAR+PLUS for assisted living services, and how many residents use it today?
