Administered by Scott Bushong and operated by LCS Waco Operations LLC, part of Life Care Services, The Delaney at Lake Waco is a senior living community in Waco, Texas. It offers assisted living, memory care, and independent living. The community is located on West Highway 6, about 6 miles from downtown Waco.

It holds an Alzheimer’s certification for its memory care program and has been serving residents for 9 years. There’s no entry fee for assisted living residents, which can make the move-in process more affordable for families.

State inspections conducted by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission have mainly focused on fire and life-safety systems, including fire drill records, fire alarm and sprinkler equipment, and generator inspections, rather than direct resident care. Families considering The Delaney at Lake Waco should ask how these building safety systems are maintained and tested.
