Who operates Grand Living at The Grove, and how large is it?
Grand Living at The Grove is licensed to Ryan Castletop Austin, LLC and managed by Grand Living Management, LLC, with 271 licensed places in total, the 2nd-largest of the 162 active assisted living licenses in the five-county Austin metro.
HHSC first licensed it on August 14, 2025, so it is one of the newer buildings in the market; ask about staff tenure, since a new community is still building its team.
In the master-planned Grove development in central Austin. A recently opened Grand Living luxury community offering independent living, assisted living, and LUMINATIONS Memory Care (Lavender Lane and Monarch Lane neighborhoods).
Grand Living at The Grove is at 4401 Jessie Heights Drive in central Austin, inside the master-planned Grove development, and the operator's site marks the community as 'Now Open.' It is run by Grand Living, the same operator as Grand Living at Georgetown, and Executive Director Julia Santeliz is named on the site along with a full team of sales, dining, maintenance and wellness staff.
Three care levels are offered on one campus: independent living, assisted living, and LUMINATIONS Memory Care, split into the women-only Lavender Lane neighbourhood and the co-ed Monarch Lane. Monthly rent is described as all-inclusive, covering Wi-Fi and phone, daily chef-prepared meals across several venues, utilities and cable, 24-hour staff coverage, fitness programming under a full-time Director of Fitness, and chauffeured transportation for errands and appointments.
Amenities include a 150-plus-seat Forum Theatre for BRAVO entertainment, a Grand Spa and Fitness Center with a pool, spa and salon, an outdoor pool and hot tub, and a pet park. The operator highlights proximity to Austin attractions including Zilker Botanical Garden and the Bullock Texas State History Museum. The number is (512) 212-9777.
What does Grand Living at The Grove's Type B license mean for a resident?
Grand Living at The Grove holds a Type B license, which allows residents who need staff help to evacuate, need attendance at night or need help transferring, as long as they are not permanently bedfast.
Type B is the license most Austin-area communities hold, and it is the only one that can carry an Alzheimer's certification.
36 of its 271 licensed places (13%) are Alzheimer's-certified. That certified number is the cap on memory care residents, so ask how many of those places are open today and whether assisted living residents get priority when one opens.
What do Texas HHSC inspections show for Grand Living at The Grove?
TULIP does not yet show an inspection history for Grand Living at The Grove. That is typical of a recently licensed building, which has an initial inspection before HHSC issues the license and routine inspections after.
Ask the community for the date and result of its most recent HHSC visit.
Has Grand Living at The Grove been fined or sanctioned by Texas HHSC?
Yes. TULIP lists 1 administrative penalty for Grand Living at The Grove, totalling $2,250, the most recent imposed on July 8, 2026.
| Imposed | Action | Amount | Rule cited and finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 8, 2026 | Administrative Penalty | $2,250 | 26 TAC §553.267(a)(3)(E)(ii): The facility failed to ensure each resident was free from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. |
Penalties are public because they are meant to be read. The useful question for the community is not whether it has ever been fined, but what it changed: ask the executive director to walk you through the most recent one.
Where is Grand Living at The Grove in Austin, and what else is licensed nearby?
Grand Living at The Grove is at 4401 Jessie Heights Drive, Austin, Texas 78731, in Travis County. The nearest other licensed assisted living building is Westminster Manor Assisted Living, about 0.1 miles away.
Austin proper has the widest range of care levels in the metro and the widest range of prices with it. Central and west-side communities price toward the top of the market; north and northeast Austin is generally more moderate. Traffic is the practical constraint families underestimate — a community fifteen minutes away at 10 a.m. can be forty at six in the evening, and evening is when most visits actually happen.

How does Grand Living at The Grove compare with other assisted living in Travis County?
At 271 licensed places, Grand Living at The Grove is 7.5 times the size of the median Austin-metro assisted living license (36 places) and holds about 5% of the 4,994 licensed places in Travis County's 74 facilities.
| Measure (HHSC record) | Grand Living at The Grove | Austin metro / county context |
|---|---|---|
| Licensed places | 271 | median 36 |
| Alzheimer's-certified places | 36 | 84 of 162 metro licenses are certified |
| Cited violations in published inspection history | 0 | median 2 per license |
| Administrative penalties listed | 1 | 27 of 74 Travis County facilities have one or more |
Size cuts both ways. A large campus usually means more amenities, a deeper staff bench and an on-site move from assisted living to memory care; it can also mean more residents per caregiver on a given shift and more inspection findings simply because there is more to inspect. Ask for the staffing ratio on the floor your parent would live on, not the building average.
What does assisted living cost near Austin?
Grand Living at The Grove does not publish its rates in the state record, and we do not estimate them. The best published benchmark is the 2025 CareScout Cost of Care Survey Texas median of $5,666 a month ($184 per day) for a private one-bedroom in assisted living, which is a statewide figure, not an Austin one.
Austin's rapid growth, competitive labor market, and newer inventory generally push local pricing above the Texas median. We do not publish an Austin-specific dollar figure because no primary source publishes one. Ask each community directly for a current all-in monthly quote.
CareScout does not survey memory care as a separate category, so no authoritative memory care median exists for Texas or for Austin. Any memory care price you see quoted online is an estimate, not survey data. Expect a certified memory care place to cost more than assisted living in the same building.
Ask for the base rent, the care-level fee your parent would be assessed at today, and what moves them to the next level, all in writing. See what senior care costs in the Austin area and how STAR+PLUS can cover assisted living services.

- Which care needs would mean my parent has to leave, and how much notice do families get?
- Is the management company the same one that was here two years ago, and how long has the executive director been in post?
- Who administers medications, and are they a licensed nurse or a trained attendant?
- What does the care-level assessment cost and how often is it repeated?
- Do you contract with STAR+PLUS for assisted living services, and how many residents use it today?
