. Never Retires in South Austin
Discover Ledgestone, where your dreams have room to grow.
Our Passionate Continuum of Care
Ledgestone Senior Living has a complete range of distinguished options for today and tomorrow; we’ve been awarded Best of Dripping Springs by Dripping Springs Century News and Best of Senior Living by Seniorly. Set in a quiet residential area of Austin, our community is intended for people who want to keep their routines, stay connected, and appreciate life without the work of maintaining a home.
Independent living is about choice. Savor meals with neighbors at the outdoor barbecue area or third-story restaurant with beautiful Hill Country views, join artsy activities that match your interests, visit the dog park, swim in our outdoor pool or take a dance class to stay active, and come and go as you please while we handle the details.
When daily tasks get more difficult, assisted living provides support that adapts as needs change. Our team offers help with everyday routines while respecting personal preferences and independence.
For those requiring memory care, The Cottage offers structure, consistency, and specialized attention so that residents feel more at ease and families find relief. Residents especially enjoy visits to the on-site courtyard’s Butterfly Moments Garden with curated art, pollinator-friendly landscaping, and sensory engagement.
More than anything, Ledgestone is about people. Each resident can live their best day every day with dignity, warmth, and understanding. Here, support feels reassuring rather than restrictive, and residents comfortably continue living as a part of the Austin they had helped to build before it was cool!

Common Questions About Senior Living in South Austin
What senior living options does Ledgestone offer?
Because residential needs depend on the amount of physical challenges and/or memory loss someone faces, we provide independent living, assisted living, and memory care. 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 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, while our memory care team encourages structured routines and a secure place for residents with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
Are pets allowed in your senior apartments?
Our community does allow independent living as well as assisted living residents to enjoy the company of small dogs and cats in their apartments. Many apartments open onto landscaped courtyards, where residents can spend time with their furry companions. We also have an on-site dog park!
What are Ledgestone'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, and access to amenities.
