Located in north-central Austin near the Windsor Park, Mueller, and Hyde Park areas, close to I-35 and the University of Texas. The community's own site lists independent living and assisted living; memory care is not advertised at this location. Its footer publishes facility ID 000785.

Parsons House Austin is at 1130 Camino La Costa in the 78752 area of north-east Austin, minutes from the University of Texas, the Mueller district and nearby medical centres. The community says it has served Travis County families for over forty years and names the neighbourhoods it draws from, including Windsor Park, Brentwood, Allandale, St Johns, Crestview, Georgian Acres, Rosedale, Hyde Park, Cherrywood and Mueller. It remains identified with its founders, Bob and Alyce Parsons, who the site describes as personally involved in building the communities over four decades.

Two care levels are offered here: independent living and assisted living. There is no memory care advertised on this campus. Assisted living covers medication reminders, personal care, healthcare coordination and wellness checks, with support available around the clock; independent living is for residents who manage their own daily tasks and healthcare. The site publishes Facility ID # 000785 in its footer, and provides a lifestyle questionnaire and comparison matrix to help families work out which of the two options fits. Floor plans, an amenities list and an events calendar are published separately.

The most distinctive thing about this community is not its amenities but a partnership with Central Health, Travis County's healthcare district. Under Central Health's Residential Rooming Services programme, described by both parties as the first of its kind in Texas, Parsons House provides private rooms and meals to Travis County residents aged 55 and over who are experiencing homelessness, enrolled in MAP or MAP Basic, and meet the criteria for an assisted living level of care. Eligibility is handled by Central Health, not the community. The number is 512-454-0524.

Austin in context

Austin proper has the widest range of care levels in the metro and the widest range of prices with it. Central and west-side communities price toward the top of the market; north and northeast Austin is generally more moderate. Traffic is the practical constraint families underestimate — a community fifteen minutes away at 10 a.m. can be forty at six in the evening, and evening is when most visits actually happen.

Questions Austin families ask

Is memory care a separate license in Texas?

No. Memory care isn't a license type. Under Texas rule 26 TAC 553.27, any community advertising specialized Alzheimer's or dementia care must hold an Alzheimer's certification, and it must be licensed as Type B to qualify. Always ask to see the Alzheimer's certificate, not just the license.

How do I check if an Austin assisted living facility is licensed?

Search the Texas HHSC provider database. Use TULIP at tulip.hhs.texas.gov for current license status, and the legacy tool at apps.hhs.texas.gov/ltcsearch for inspection history and cited deficiencies. Both are free and public. Confirm the license type, Type A or Type B, matches your parent's actual care needs.

Do Texas assisted living facilities have star ratings like nursing homes?

No. CMS star ratings on Medicare Care Compare cover nursing facilities only. Texas assisted living facilities are regulated solely by state HHSC and receive no federal star rating. To evaluate an Austin assisted living community, review its HHSC inspection history and deficiency reports directly.
