Who operates The Philomena Assisted Living & Memory Care, and how large is it?
The Philomena Assisted Living & Memory Care is licensed to Philomena Assisted Living LLC, with 132 licensed places in total, the 16th-largest of the 162 active assisted living licenses in the five-county Austin metro.
HHSC first licensed it on December 2, 2019, about 7 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 purpose-built senior living community on Philomena Drive in Kyle, along the I-35 corridor south of Austin. It offers assisted living plus a secured memory care neighborhood. Services listed include assistance with activities of daily living, medication management, housekeeping and laundry, and scheduled transportation. Texas facility number 110250.
The Philomena Assisted Living and Memory Care is at 350 Philomena Drive in Kyle, one of the fastest-growing cities in Hays County and roughly thirty minutes south of downtown Austin by the operator's own reckoning. It is managed by JCI Senior Housing, which keeps a home office in downtown Austin, and the community leans heavily on that connection: works by local artists hang in the Kyle building as well as in the Austin office. The footer publishes FAC# 110250.
Assisted living covers assistance with activities of daily living, medication management and continuous health monitoring, plus help with dressing, bathing and grooming; housekeeping, laundry and maintenance are handled by staff. Memory care operates in a separate area called The Retreat, offering a secure setting, care associates on site around the clock and signature dementia programming adapted to each resident. Daily life is structured around a chef-prepared breakfast, then brain-health games, art projects or seated yoga. The site also hosts a short self-assessment tool for families weighing whether assisted living is warranted.
Scheduled transportation runs to nearby medical appointments, shopping trips and lunch outings, and residents take group trips to bowling alleys, museums and art shows. The community states it serves families from Kyle, South Austin, Lockhart, San Marcos and Wimberley. A resident portal is provided for families handling accounts. It suits a household that wants a South Austin-area location with an arts-heavy activity calendar rather than a clinical setting, and one comfortable with a community dog, Chewy, who lives on site.
What does The Philomena Assisted Living & Memory Care's Type B license mean for a resident?
The Philomena Assisted Living & Memory Care 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.
34 of its 132 licensed places (26%) 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.

Showing the 10 most recent of 12 citations. The full list is on the TULIP record linked above.
These citations span 2025 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 The Philomena Assisted Living & Memory Care been fined or sanctioned by Texas HHSC?
Yes. TULIP lists 1 administrative penalty for The Philomena Assisted Living & Memory Care, totalling $3,000, the most recent imposed on June 13, 2025.
| Imposed | Action | Amount | Rule cited and finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 13, 2025 | Administrative Penalty | $3,000 | 26 TAC §553.267(a)(3)(E)(ii): The facility failed to ensure each resident was free from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. |
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.

Kyle sits on the I-35 corridor in fast-growing Hays County, with newer purpose-built assisted living and memory care. Hays County grew 26.3 percent between 2020 and 2025, and senior housing is still catching up to that, so availability can be better here than in Travis County.

How does The Philomena Assisted Living & Memory Care compare with other assisted living in Hays County?
At 132 licensed places, The Philomena Assisted Living & Memory Care is 3.7 times the size of the median Austin-metro assisted living license (36 places) and holds about 12% of the 1,108 licensed places in Hays County's 20 facilities.
| Measure (HHSC record) | The Philomena Assisted Living & Memory Care | Austin metro / county context |
|---|---|---|
| Licensed places | 132 | median 36 |
| Alzheimer's-certified places | 34 | 84 of 162 metro licenses are certified |
| Cited violations in published inspection history | 12 | median 2 per license |
| Administrative penalties listed | 1 | 8 of 20 Hays County facilities have one or more |
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 Kyle?
The Philomena Assisted Living & Memory Care 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 Philomena Assisted Living & Memory Care?

- How many of your 34 Alzheimer's-certified places are open, and what is the overnight staff ratio inside the secured unit?

- Who administers medications, and are they a licensed nurse or a trained attendant?
