Who operates The Haven at San Gabriel, and how large is it?
The Haven at San Gabriel is licensed to Haven at San Gabriel LP and managed by Enriched Senior Living, LLC, with 112 licensed places in total, the 33rd-largest of the 162 active assisted living licenses in the five-county Austin metro.
HHSC first licensed it on April 26, 2024, so it is one of the newer buildings in the market; ask about staff tenure, since a new community is still building its team.
Community on West San Gabriel Parkway in Leander, part of the Enriched Senior Living family and operated by New Forest Haven. Its site lists assisted living and memory care as its two living options, with private apartment suites, around-the-clock wellness and care staff, an on-site salon, theatre and library, and chef-prepared dining.
The Haven at San Gabriel is at 1253 W. San Gabriel Pkwy in Leander, on a campus with landscaped gardens and outdoor lounging areas in what the operator calls a quiet neighbourhood. It is Texas-owned and part of the ESL, or Enriched Senior Living, family of brands, which also includes Fairhaven in North Texas and New Haven communities across Central Texas; the copyright notice names New Forest Haven. The operator states it has been serving Texas since 2013.
Two care levels are published: assisted living and memory care. The community describes 24/7 care and wellness services with around-the-clock emergency support, and tailored assistance scaled to how much help a resident needs day to day. Accommodation is in private apartment suites across multiple floor plans, and there is a separate accommodations page. On-site services listed include physical therapy, massage rooms, a salon, a library, a theatre, a saloon and concierge staffing, with complimentary housekeeping. Dining runs as an elevated dining programme with several meal plans, chef-prepared meals served in a family-style dining room or delivered to a resident's suite, and accommodation of individual dietary requirements. Life enrichment coordinators are on staff and set the activities schedule. No Texas assisted living licence number is published on the site.
The operator repeatedly emphasises small scale, saying the community size is deliberately tailored so activities can be built around individual residents' interests, and invites residents to propose hobbies. Small pets are conditionally welcome. Tours are booked through Calendly or the contact form. This suits a family wanting assisted living and memory care under one roof close to Leander and north-west Austin.
What does The Haven at San Gabriel's Type B license mean for a resident?
The Haven at San Gabriel 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.
32 of its 112 licensed places (29%) 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.
What do Texas HHSC inspections show for The Haven at San Gabriel?
TULIP shows a most recent inspection exit for The Haven at San Gabriel on January 20, 2026 and lists no cited state violations in the inspection history it publishes for this license.
A clean published history is a good sign, but it is not a guarantee. Ask the community for its most recent inspection report directly; Texas facilities must make it available on request.
Has The Haven at San Gabriel been fined or sanctioned by Texas HHSC?
Yes. TULIP lists 1 administrative penalty for The Haven at San Gabriel, totalling $4,500, the most recent imposed on January 30, 2026.
| Imposed | Action | Amount | Rule cited and finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| January 30, 2026 | Administrative Penalty | $4,500 | 26 TAC §553.261(g)(1)(A): The facility failed to obtain written authorization from a physician for the use of physical or chemical restraints.; 26 TAC §553.261(b)(1)(A): The facility failed to make arrangements for emergency care or transfer to an appropriate place for treatment. |
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 The Haven at San Gabriel compare with other assisted living in Williamson County?
At 112 licensed places, The Haven at San Gabriel is 3.1 times the size of the median Austin-metro assisted living license (36 places) and holds about 3% of the 3,251 licensed places in Williamson County's 60 facilities.
| Measure (HHSC record) | The Haven at San Gabriel | Austin metro / county context |
|---|---|---|

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 Leander?
The Haven at San Gabriel 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 The Haven at San Gabriel?
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.
- The January 30, 2026 penalty cited 26 TAC §553.261(g)(1)(A). What changed afterwards, and who is responsible for it now?
- How many of your 32 Alzheimer's-certified places are open, and what is the overnight staff ratio inside the secured unit?
- Which care needs would mean my parent has to leave, and how much notice do families get?
- Is the management company the same one that was here two years ago, and how long has the executive director been in post?
- Who administers medications, and are they a licensed nurse or a trained attendant?
- What does the care-level assessment cost and how often is it repeated?
- Do you contract with STAR+PLUS for assisted living services, and how many residents use it today?
