Brookdale San Marcos North is a senior living community in San Marcos, Texas, providing assisted living and memory support. Managed by HCP Inc. through S-H Thirty-Five Opco-San Marcos, LLC in Hays County, as part of the Brookdale Senior Living network, this licensed Type B community has a 12-bed capacity, fostering a more intimate atmosphere compared to large institutional locations. For families searching for tailored care in the San Marcos area, the limited capacity of the community can lead to higher levels of personal interaction between staff and residents.
The most recent evaluation in January 2024 concluded with three findings. All were categorized as Life Safety Code concerns, and no Health Code deficiencies were cited. These specific issues concerned the locking hardware on exit doors and the lack of a yearly fire marshal review. While similar concerns were identified in 2019 and resolved by early 2020, the 2024 report suggests they have reappeared. Additionally, no regulatory penalties were issued, and the count of three citations stays under the Texas state average of six.
Monthly rates show that assisted living starts at about $3,480, while memory care is approximately $8,370, which are more affordable than similar settings in nearby Austin. 24-hour staffing is provided along with Alzheimer’s certification, short-term stays, and the specialized Clare Bridge memory support curriculum. A gym, transit assistance, a library, concierge help, and a hair salon are also available, along with a courtyard, a greenhouse for gardening, a private dining area, a game room with billiards, strolling paths, guest quarters, and a business center. Pets are also allowed, and the culinary staff prepares meals based on the personal tastes of the older adults.
With a 12-bed capacity, Brookdale San Marcos North is ideal for those seeking a smaller and more private care setting with access to a wide variety of amenities. Its smaller scale, along with the presence of the Clare Bridge program, also allows for deeper connections between the team and the residents, which is often a major factor for families making choices about memory support. Additionally, its costs are reasonable compared to larger urban centers.
