After reviewing and visiting 8 care facilities in the Austin area, I choose Live Oak Estate AL to care for my step mother, and she resided there for over 8 years. The staff (Lynda, Syd, Jessie Ann, Rosie, Brad, Ty, Shannon & more) and Wendy (the owner) helped me every step of the way, including getting her to accept going into an assisted living home. She was adamantly against it in the beginning, but within 45-60 days it turned out to be the best decision for her and for our family. Her memory simply did not allow her to drive or stay in her own home any longer, and private care was quite an expense in 2015. Elaine adapted more quickly than we ever expected. This was due to everyone providing personal attention and care to be sure she was comfortable, took her medicines at the appropriate times, and had nourishing meals. Even learning the way to Elaine's heart......chocolate! Over the years, the staff has had changes, including trying times during the COVID years, but all members have been dedicated and supportive of Elaine and myself as her POA/MPOA. I would highly recommend Live Oak Estates to care for a family member or friend.

I can't say enough good things about the care my mother received at Live Oak. She had previously been in a large senior apartment complex and was quite isolated. Live Oak was so warm, friendly, and had such a feeling of home about it. She received excellent care and the staff treated her (and us) like family. She was able to eat her preferred meals at her preferred times. She loved having small children and dogs visit - made it even more like home. The staff was so kind and compassionate with us when she passed away. I would recommend the facility for anyone looking for excellent care.

All of the staff at Live Oak Estates are simply amazing! They took exceptional care of my father in law, as picky as he was, he was very happy there. I whole heartedly recommend this place for your loved one. The individual care that my father in law received could not have been given in any of the larger facilities. Clint and Wendy as well as all the other staff members, especially Adam, definitely have white hats.

I cant thank Live Oak Estates enough for the care they gave my mother-in-law. No one wants to put a loved one in a home when they get too old to take care of them self unless they have family who can stay with them. Live Oak Estates is amazing. They not only met all the physical care (i.e. bathing, home cooked meals, administration of medicine, etc.) but their friendly staff treated her like she was truly loved and part of their family. They painted her nails, brushed and styled her hair, played card games with her... They gave her, her own bedroom, in a house, in a nice neighborhood. It felt like a home. When she recently passed, they helped our family pack her belongings, and were sincerely sad and grieved the loss with us. Overall a wonderful experience. I would recommend them to everyone who loves their parent but hates the idea of leaving them alone.

My sister and I are forever grateful to all the kind loving staff that cared for our mother Milly during the last years of her life (She was a resident for almost four years). Everyone at Live Oak Estates made my mother feel special in her new home from the first day she arrived. The caregivers were sensitive to all my mothers needs whether it was tending to her challenging health issues or spoiling her with her favorite treats. Managers Lynda Sid make the home welcoming during the holidays whether someone is celebrating a birthday or sharing a Thanksgiving meal. My sister I knew right away Live Oak was the perfect place for our mother. The home is a safe environment where all kinds of social activity is encouraged. Located in a well-maintained neighborhood, Live Oak Estates is easily accessible by medical professionals. As family members, our visits were welcomed at any time of the day or night. We especially give a heart full of thanks to Marie, Brad Karmen for their nurturing love respect for our mother Milly.
