Pat and I have lived here for 6 months and have made a lot of lasting friends. When the weather gets a little better we will be returning to our home in Georgetown, Texas which our son has completely redone.
August 2025
The staff is great. They are always willing to help when asked. The facility is clean and well maintained. My parents really like living here, and have made new friends. I think anyone who needs a more simplified lifestyle would love living here.

My mother lived at this community and really loved it! After her husband died she became very lonely but once she moved into The Continental she made many friends who really loved her and enjoyed a variety of activities and events provided by the team on site. She was well taken care of during the pandemic which really put my mind at ease. When she passed, the on site manager, Everette and his entire team were very supportive and thoughtful. The property, amenities and common areas are well taken care of and my mother's apartment was beautiful and had everything she needed to be comfortable. I highly recommend The Continental to any senior citizen looking for a place to call home.

I was really impressed with how clean and well kept the facility was inside and out. The grounds are beautiful and it's a very peaceful spot tucked away in the trees. Inside was clean and appeared recently remodeled. Finance person was out so front desk provided the tour. Not perfect but sufficient to our needs and friendly. Residents were so welcoming and kind. One offered to show us her own apartment to compare. One bedroom options were nice sized with small kitchen and patio, walk in shower with handrails. We plan to pursue an apartment for our 94yo Aunt who we think will like it.

The Continental is a wonderful independent living community tucked back into the greenbelt. It's surrounded by big lovely trees and a nice walking path. The apartments are spacious and many have nice balconies. It's a bustling community, there's always an activity or a meal going on, and everyone there is so friendly! Kristin Howard is passionate about her job and a great resource for families.

The Continental is a beautiful retirement community tucked away from the street. so amazing how they allow the residents to have pets of their own and tons of activities, classes , vast variety of foods to feast on & also special guest performers that come by every so often to entertain their residents! I must speak on how clean it is there from the polished furniture onto the upkeep of their front door, parking lot. Erin Garcia really does do her job with loving, communicating and giving her all to keeping the building as 100% as it needs to be! I highly recommend living there!
September 2020
Stephany James does a fantastic job working at the Continental. She has a love for the residents there and its returned back to her by them. I have witnessed the compassion she has for the residents when they asked her to invite me to play cards with them. Shes has found her calling in life! The Continental is a great fit for her and I believe shes a great fit for them!

I was very much impressed with Miss Erin Garcia. She is knowledgeable, confident in what she does and her attention to detail is remarkable. She has amazing food service skills and a beautiful smile. My thanks and appreciation.
May 2020
The staff does a wonderful job!!! I would especially like to mention the work done by Erin Garcia...she does everything with a smile, does a great job of making us feel comfortable and is very meticulous in her work. Our room is kept very clean and the young lady goes out of her way to make sure we are very well accommodated. If everyone, in every job, took on the same attitude as this young lady, there would never be a need to complain about service. Thank you, Erin!

Facility is always clean when I visit. Housekeeper Erin G. is the sweetest Ive ever met. She is friendly and very helpful too.
March 2020
I love working at The Continental, the Housekeeping team is amazing and very friendly! Every morning brings positive vibes with a vast variety of delicious breakfast, SUPER yummy !!!! Youve got to try the Denver Omlette! ♥♥♥
March 2020
What can I say besides this place is great! Your family (or yourself) will be taken care of completely. The servers who help with food are great. They are patient and take their time with my father. They cut up his food and sit and talk when they have time. You hear horror stories all the time about how your elders are treated at places, but not here. Even the ladies that clean his room have him laughing at ease. They really do go above an beyond.
February 2020
This retirement community is beautiful... first off, the facility itself has a great location... away from the main street and backed into a picturesque creek. When you first walk in, there is a very grand high ceiling and on one of the beams there is a beautiful quote, and a large living room, card tables, piano, and a fireplace, so quaint and wonderful. But, even better than all that are the staff. The one person that stood out the most was Erin Garcia... a shining star. Her smile is so sweet and she is so warm and welcoming. Her food service skills were attentive and would be at home in a five star restaurant... she is a jewel in a first rate establishment that receives my highest recommendation!
January 2020
The housekeeping staff is amazing! Erin Garcia sure knows how to keep the front desk and common areas squeaky clean! She makes sure theres no fingerprints anywhere or any signs of spider webs... and Lord knows I hate spiders! Lol I definitely recommend staying at The Continental when Im of age, it is such a beautiful place with tons of classes and fun activities to join!
November 2019
Great staff. Jennifer immediately made us feel at home. Once we made the decision to move my mother-in-law into The Continental, we knew we made the right decision. Management immediately addressed the few concerns we had. 2 months later, my mother-in-law has made some great friends and transitions from her home thanks to the staff. I cant thank you enough.

The Continental Retirement Community is a great place of unity and family. Being here feels like home. From the 3 Chef-Prepared meals, Full service Soup & Salad Bar, to All-Day dining, to daily transportation and organized activities that encourage fellowship and socialization, The Continental is the full package when it comes to finding a new home for your loved one. When considering a place for your loved one, The Continental exceeds senior living expectations, by having respectful and welcoming staff, as well as, the abundance of fellow residents who make newcomers feel like they never left home. Questions asked by family are answered in a professional, timely manner. One of the most reassuring and attentive attributes of The Continental is the 24, 7 on-site staff, which includes round-the-clock Concierge Services, and two separate on-site medical teams, to assist in the event your loved one needs additional care, or simply a package delivered. Pets are welcome, as they have a fenced dog park with a seating area, so your loved one can enjoy the Austin, Texas greenbelt views and scenery with their furry friend right beside them. The Managers are all happy and willing to assist with any questions, concerns, or suggestions in regards to anything that may pertain to the property and the services provided. I truly recommend The Continental for your loved one, you really wont regret it. Schedule a tour today, Monday-Friday, with Jennifer Wells!

LOVED each time we visited with my two kiddos ... we came up several times just to spread the love to the residents and the staff we encountered are SO genuine, caring and attentive to the residents needs. There is a very active social life and a real desire to be better every day. You can really sense that there and even as one who doesnt have a family member living there I really appreciated that environment Caring from top to bottom.

My Dad has been living here for almost 4 years! He has made a lot of sweet friends and enjoys all of the activities the outstanding social director plans for the community. Living at the Continental has helped him to have stability, while still ensuring the freedom of independent living. Thank you staff! 4 stars
March 2017
As part of the Management team, it was one of the best experiences and most rewarding worked my husband and I have enjoyed and been blessed to be a part of. We absolutely loved our residents and their families and had awesome support staff in all departments. This lifestyle truly saves lives- the resident gained new independence, autonomy, self-respect, made new friends, and re-engaged in life; their family members regained their life. While families mean well when they bring parents, grandparents or other family to live with them when life changes occur that make it unsafe for them to be alone its not always the best scenario. If they are still working outside the home and their loved one is left alone at home all day, the quality of life is diminished, as isolation from their peers and being alone increases the chance for depression, increasing risks of falls, and incidence of illness, and lack of physical exercise. In the retirement communities, if all their loved one did in a day is get up, dress, groom and walk(yes, their long hallways are designed for forced exercise!) enjoy fellowship with their table mates (great nutrition and hydration) and walk back to their room - three times a day for their meals - they will have accomplished more than sitting in their own homes or with their families. Once in the dining area, the smiles and laughter of their peers, staff, culinary team and managers, bring joy and life to their daily routines. Add to that, the invites of their peers to play Bingo, attend group exercise or a go on scheduled outing - again, social interaction with their friends, peers keeps them engaged with life. Movies, social dances, music and entertainment-makes it like a mini cruise-ship that doesnt leave the harbor!! Its a great place to call home- where community and love come together to change, enrich and save lives.

I lived at the Continental for a year after I moved to Austin and looked for a permanent home. I absolutely loved it! The Continental is not a nursing home and no one treats you like you are in one. I was only 68 and in good health! The staff is diligent, knowledgeable, and caring. The meals are Chef prepared; delicious, nutritional and served in elegant surroundings! It is quiet, landscaped, Greenbelt (loved the Deer!) Shuttle service to anywhere; close to the shops, restaurants, etc of Sunset Valley. Have been wanting to offer these comments for awhile and an pleased to do so! Jerry Bayless
