HomeDirectoryIndependent LivingThe Wesleyan

A nonprofit community operated by Wesleyan Homes on the Estrella Crossing campus in west Georgetown. Independent living apartments and cottages are located at 139 Estrella Crossing, while assisted living and memory care operate from a separate building at 109 Estrella Crossing.

The Wesleyan is a Georgetown community operated by the nonprofit Wesleyan Homes, Inc., with administrative offices at 139 Estrella Crossing (78628) and its main campus, The Wesleyan at Estrella, on roughly forty acres at William's Drive and Estrella Crossing. Its history is documented in detail: a Methodist Church committee began studying the idea in 1953, articles of incorporation were filed in 1955, a 1958 city election donated a city park site, and the first resident moved into The Wesleyan Retirement Home on 10 September 1962. The project was a collaboration between the church, The Williamson County Sun, the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and local citizens.

Independent living is offered in both apartments and cottages, alongside assisted living and memory care, described by the operator as a continuum of care with short-term or long-term support. The campus grew in stages: the Estrella independent living building opened in 2008, an assisted living and memory care building followed in 2011, a 2017 expansion added eight cottage homes plus further independent living and assisted living apartments, and sixteen more cottages were completed in 2019 along with the purchase of seven adjacent acres. In December 2019 the organisation acquired Estrella Oaks, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility, adding to its existing nursing centre on Scenic Drive.

A maintained walking trail runs through the campus and is presented as a daily amenity rather than a decorative one. The organisation runs volunteer and giving programmes and holds public job fairs, which gives some visibility into staffing. This suits a family that wants a long-established local nonprofit with roots in Georgetown rather than a national operator. The Wesleyan does not publish Texas licence or facility ID numbers on its website.

Georgetown in context

Georgetown's senior care market exists at the scale it does largely because of Sun City Texas, a Del Webb 55-plus development of roughly 7,500 to 8,500 homes. A concentration of active retirees eventually produces demand for care as residents age in place, and Georgetown has more purpose-built senior housing per capita than its size would predict.

Questions Austin families ask

What's the difference between Type A and Type B assisted living in Texas?

Texas licenses assisted living by residents' ability to evacuate. Type A residents must evacuate without physical staff assistance, follow emergency directions, and not need nighttime attendance. Type B residents may need staff help evacuating, nighttime attendance, and help transferring from a wheelchair, but cannot be permanently bedfast.

Is memory care a separate license in Texas?

No. Memory care isn't a license type. Under Texas rule 26 TAC 553.27, any community advertising specialized Alzheimer's or dementia care must hold an Alzheimer's certification, and it must be licensed as Type B to qualify. Always ask to see the Alzheimer's certificate, not just the license.

How do I check if an Austin assisted living facility is licensed?

Search the Texas HHSC provider database. Use TULIP at tulip.hhs.texas.gov for current license status, and the legacy tool at apps.hhs.texas.gov/ltcsearch for inspection history and cited deficiencies. Both are free and public. Confirm the license type, Type A or Type B, matches your parent's actual care needs.
