At Autumn Wind, you have room to grow in your hometown.

We Simplify Your Journey to Senior Living

Set in small-town Wood County, we serve families from Winnsboro, Leesburg, Mineola, and nearby areas who want to stay local rather than moving to Tyler, Longview, or Sulphur Springs.

Autumn Wind Senior Living is the only community offering both independent living and assisted living in Winnsboro. Our care teams provide personalized attention through individualized care plans.

Independent living is about choice. Enjoy meals with neighbors, join activities that match your interests alongside longtime Winnsboro residents, and come and go as you please while we handle the details that often get in the way.

When daily tasks get more difficult, Winnsboro assisted living provides support that adapts as needs change. Our team offers help with everyday routines while respecting personal preferences and independence.

Transitions between levels occur without relocation, preserving familiar routines and relationships as care changes. This is the peace of mind our community provides when you begin a new life here and stay where people know your name and your story.

Common Questions About Senior Living

What senior living options does Autumn Wind offer?

Because residential needs depend on the amount of physical challenges someone faces, we provide independent living and assisted living. This continuum of care allows residents to age in place and receive the level of support they need without the financial strain of buy-in fees.

How does assisted living in Winnsboro compare to nearby options?

Winnsboro’s senior living options are limited. Autumn Wind Senior Living is the only community offering both independent and assisted living. Our community offers:

Experienced caregiving teams with ongoing specialized training
Proximity to Tyler medical facilities for specialist appointments
On-site rehabilitation therapy through UT Health East Texas
Two levels of support on one campus for aging in place
Transportation capabilities to Autumn Trails events, local lakes, downtown Main Street, and appointments
Cost-effective pricing aligned with Wood County incomes

How can I decide which type of service is best?

Care levels are determined through an assessment of physical and cognitive needs. The goal is to provide the right amount of help without unnecessarily taking away independence.

We give active independent living residents a life without home maintenance, endless chores, and to-do lists full of other everyday tasks. Assisted living facilitates tasks like medication reminders and activities of daily living within structured routines.

Are pets allowed in your senior apartments?

Our community does allow residents to delight in the company of small dogs and cats in their apartments. Some apartments open onto landscaped courtyards where seniors enjoy time with their furry companions.

What are Autumn Wind's starting rates?

Senior living pricing here varies by services, types of care, and apartment size — all so that you only pay for exactly what you need. Monthly costs generally include housing, meals, activities, housekeeping, transportation to medical appointments, and access to amenities.

To check current rates, please visit our independent living and assisted living pages. You can speak with an advisor for a custom estimate, where you’ll get our most in-depth explanation. We’re happy to walk you through payment options, plus connect you with local resources and financial concierges, to simplify the process.

We Love Providing the Senior Living in Winnsboro

Autumn Wind Senior Living sits at 1004 East Coke Road in Winnsboro, Texas, serving families from Winnsboro, Leesburg, Mineola, and throughout Wood County. If you’re familiar with Winnsboro City Park, Brookshire’s, or Tractor Supply Co., you’ve been in our neighborhood.

Winnsboro is a tight-knit community where neighbors know each other by name. This small East Texas town has earned recognition as a member of the Texas Center of the Arts District and is known for its historic Main Street. Every October since 1958, the Autumn Trails Festival brings the community together with antique car rallies, trail rides, and scenic drives through fall foliage where “the pines meet the oaks.”

Surrounded by 19 lakes known as “lake country,” Winnsboro offers peaceful outdoor living. Lake Winnsboro sits just six miles away for quiet fishing and nature walks. Nearby Lake Fork Reservoir holds records for 34 of the top 50 largemouth bass caught in Texas and draws fishing enthusiasts from across the state.

Tyler hospitals and medical specialists are about an hour south. On-site rehabilitation therapy through UT Health East Texas and the nearby CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital provides the healthcare access residents need while staying in their hometown.

Our community is home to retired educators, factory workers, and families with deep roots in Winnsboro. Many have lived here 30, 40, or even 50 years. What makes Autumn Wind Senior Living different lies within how residents feel. Daily interactions replace the isolation many experienced living alone.

With the natural beauty surrounding us and a community that genuinely cares, residents discover that this stage of life can be fulfilling and purposeful, all while staying where people know their names and their stories.
