Who operates The Wesleyan, and how large is it?

The Wesleyan is licensed to Wesleyan Homes, INC, with 104 licensed places in total, the 38th-largest of the 162 active assisted living licenses in the five-county Austin metro.

HHSC first licensed it on July 21, 2011, about 15 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.

A nonprofit community operated by Wesleyan Homes on the Estrella Crossing campus in west Georgetown. Independent living apartments and cottages are located at 139 Estrella Crossing, while assisted living and memory care operate from a separate building at 109 Estrella Crossing.

The Wesleyan is a Georgetown community operated by the nonprofit Wesleyan Homes, Inc., with administrative offices at 139 Estrella Crossing (78628) and its main campus, The Wesleyan at Estrella, on roughly forty acres at William's Drive and Estrella Crossing. Its history is documented in detail: a Methodist Church committee began studying the idea in 1953, articles of incorporation were filed in 1955, a 1958 city election donated a city park site, and the first resident moved into The Wesleyan Retirement Home on 10 September 1962. The project was a collaboration between the church, The Williamson County Sun, the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and local citizens.

Independent living is offered in both apartments and cottages, alongside assisted living and memory care, described by the operator as a continuum of care with short-term or long-term support. The campus grew in stages: the Estrella independent living building opened in 2008, an assisted living and memory care building followed in 2011, a 2017 expansion added eight cottage homes plus further independent living and assisted living apartments, and sixteen more cottages were completed in 2019 along with the purchase of seven adjacent acres. In December 2019 the organisation acquired Estrella Oaks, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility, adding to its existing nursing centre on Scenic Drive.

A maintained walking trail runs through the campus and is presented as a daily amenity rather than a decorative one. The organisation runs volunteer and giving programmes and holds public job fairs, which gives some visibility into staffing. This suits a family that wants a long-established local nonprofit with roots in Georgetown rather than a national operator. The Wesleyan does not publish Texas licence or facility ID numbers on its website.

What does The Wesleyan's Type B license mean for a resident?

The Wesleyan 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.

20 of its 104 licensed places (19%) 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 Wesleyan?

The TULIP record lists 3 cited state violations for The Wesleyan: 0 from health inspections and 3 from life safety code (fire and building) inspections, with the most recent inspection exiting on November 4, 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 The Wesleyan been fined or sanctioned by Texas HHSC?

Yes. TULIP lists 2 administrative penalties for The Wesleyan, totalling $4,500, the most recent imposed on February 19, 2026.

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.

Where is The Wesleyan in Georgetown, and what else is licensed nearby?

The Wesleyan is at 109 Estrella Crossing, Georgetown, Texas 78628, in Williamson County. The nearest other licensed assisted living building is The Oscar at Georgetown, about 0.5 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 The Wesleyan compare with other assisted living in Williamson County?

At 104 licensed places, The Wesleyan is 2.9 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.

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 Georgetown?

The Wesleyan 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 Wesleyan?

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. The February 19, 2026 penalty cited 26 TAC §553.261(b)(1)(A). What changed afterwards, and who is responsible for it now?
2. Can I see the report from your most recent life safety code visit and your plan of correction?
3. How many of your 20 Alzheimer's-certified places are open, and what is the overnight staff ratio inside the secured unit?
4. Which care needs would mean my parent has to leave, and how much notice do families get?
5. Who administers medications, and are they a licensed nurse or a trained attendant?
6. What does the care-level assessment cost and how often is it repeated?
7. Do you contract with STAR+PLUS for assisted living services, and how many residents use it today?
