Who operates Brookdale Lakeway, and how large is it?

Brookdale Lakeway is licensed to Brookdale Lakeway LLC and managed by Arc Management, LLC, with 148 licensed places in total, the 14th-largest of the 162 active assisted living licenses in the five-county Austin metro.

HHSC first licensed it on August 7, 2000, about 26 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 Hill Country campus on Lohmans Crossing Road in Lakeway, west of Austin near Lake Travis. The community provides assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing and rehabilitation. Memory care follows Brookdale's Clare Bridge program.

Brookdale Lakeway sits at 1915 Lohmans Crossing Road in Lakeway (78734), just outside Austin in the Texas Hill Country. Brookdale Senior Living operates it, and the community describes its surroundings in terms of hill country vistas, wildflower displays and nearby wineries. Unlike the company's Westlake Hills campus, this one has no independent living tier.

Three care levels are offered: assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing with rehabilitation, all on a single campus and linked by a personalised service plan that can be adjusted as needs change. Memory care follows Brookdale's Clare Bridge programme, which uses a gentle daily routine built around each resident's interests and strengths, and extends to Clare Bridge dining, a calmer setting with simplified routines. Fourteen floor plans are offered. Listed amenities include a therapy room, spa, concierge service, beauty and barber shop, arts and crafts studio, game room, movie room, sun room, library and courtyard, plus transportation and an emergency alert system.

Location is a practical strength for families in western Travis County: the operator notes easy access to shops, restaurants and local hospitals and physicians including Baylor Scott and White Medical Center, with golf courses such as The Hills of Lakeway a short drive away and the Hamilton Greenbelt nearby for walks. Activities named include a Gardening Club, art classes, book discussions and yoga. Families of memory care residents can follow updates through a virtual scrapbook.

What does Brookdale Lakeway's Type A and Type B license mean for a resident?

Brookdale Lakeway operates under two licenses: a Type A license for residents who can evacuate on their own and a Type B license for residents who need staff help to evacuate or attendance at night.

Two licenses on one campus usually means two buildings or wings. The practical benefit is that a resident whose needs increase can often move across the campus rather than across town. Ask which building your parent would start in and how a transfer between the two licenses is decided.

16 of its 148 licensed places (11%) 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 Brookdale Lakeway?

The TULIP record lists 7 cited state violations for Brookdale Lakeway: 2 from health inspections and 5 from life safety code (fire and building) inspections, with the most recent inspection exiting on April 4, 2025.

These citations span 2019 to 2025. 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.

Has Brookdale Lakeway been fined or sanctioned by Texas HHSC?

No. The TULIP record lists no administrative penalties or other enforcement actions for Brookdale Lakeway 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 Brookdale Lakeway in Lakeway, and what else is licensed nearby?

Brookdale Lakeway is at 1915 Lohmans Crossing Rd, Lakeway, Texas 78734, in Travis County. The nearest other licensed assisted living building is Brookdale Lohmans Crossing, about 0.5 miles away.

Lakeway is an established Lake Travis retiree destination and a predominantly higher-end private-pay market, with several communities clustered near Medical Parkway. Medicaid-contracted options are scarce here, which matters if private funds are finite — worth asking about before a move rather than after.

How does Brookdale Lakeway compare with other assisted living in Travis County?

At 148 licensed places, Brookdale Lakeway is 4.1 times the size of the median Austin-metro assisted living license (36 places) and holds about 3% of the 4,994 licensed places in Travis County's 74 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 Lakeway?

Brookdale Lakeway 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 Brookdale Lakeway?

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 health visit visit and your plan of correction?
2. How many of your 16 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. Is the management company the same one that was here two years ago, and how long has the executive director been in post?
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?
