Welcome to LiveOak
LiveOak Living Community was started in 2002 as an innovative assisted living facility for adults with cognitive disabilities including mental illness, brain injury, developmental disabilities and autism.
Our Community
LiveOak was built on the belief that everyone wants
someplace to go, something to do, and someone to do it with.
Our Communities
LiveOak is an intentional community that provides people with cognitive disabilities a caring and supportive community where they can grow and thrive throughout their lifetime. We are comprised of three different locations; LiveOak Ranch, LiveOak Apartments, and SmithHouse. Each location provides different supports and opportunities to meet the unique wants and needs for each individual.
Choosing a Home is a Big Decision
LiveOak believes that it’s important for every family to make the best decision for themselves. That’s why we offer accommodations for visitors to stay overnight and explore LiveOak as a potential home.
ADMISSIONS
Who We Serve
LiveOak provides a supportive environment for individuals with cognitive disabilities who are looking for an active and inclusive community where they can make friends and explore personal interests.
Patrick did respite care at LiveOak for several years before moving to the Ranch full-time in 2017. He enjoys playing his guitar, working out and landscaping.
He also participates in different clubs at LiveOak such as Bible Study, Arts and Craft Club, and Creative Writing.
Patrick says, "The thing I like most about the Ranch is being able to respect those around me and having that respect returned to me in kind."
Brandon moved from Arizona to the LiveOak Apartments in 2023. Since moving to LiveOak, Brandon has been able to maintain his independence all while still having support and structure. Brandon is an active volunteer at the Hays County Food Bank, and in his free time, you can catch him on campus participating in a club or out bowling with friends. At LiveOak, Brandon has been able to build stronger relationships with others.
“LiveOak is a wonderful place to be, and I’d recommend it to anybody.”
Sean has called LiveOak home for five years. He first lived at the Ranch but later moved to SmithHouse for more tailored support and care. Sean enjoys going out for lunch with the other residents and looks forward to their coffee outings. He loves celebrating holidays with his LiveOak family, especially Halloween.
Someplace to Go, Something to Do, Someone to Do It With
At LiveOak, inclusion is not a program, it’s a mindset.
