Request Information

 

Established as a non-profit organization 1997, the Assisted Living / Personal Care Network (ALPCN) is made up of individual member homes with locations in Austin, Bastrop, Georgetown, Lampasas, Leander, and Round Rock, Texas.

As a devoted group of individuals and businesses we believe that you’re loved one deserves the loving care, quiet contentment, and feeling of security provided by small Assisted Living and Personal Care Homes.

What are Assisted Living & Personal Care Homes?

They are private residences devoted to caring for individuals who are unable to live alone. The staff provides assistance or support with activities of daily living; eating, bathing, grooming, ambulating, dressing, toileting, and assisting with medications. Residences are small, with fewer than 25 residents, and staffed 24-hours per day.
