A nonprofit continuing care retirement community in central Austin near the Tarrytown and Rosedale neighborhoods, just west of MoPac around 45th Street. Its continuum of care spans independent living, assisted living, memory support, long-term skilled nursing, and short-term rehabilitation. The community is managed by LCS.
Westminster stands at 4100 Jackson Avenue in a quiet, tree-lined part of central Austin (78731), minutes from the city centre. It was founded in 1967 as Austin's first not-for-profit continuing care retirement community. The operator tells the founding story as 'The $25 Miracle': members of a small Austin Presbyterian church used twenty-five dollars to establish a board under Texas law charged with building and running the community. Westminster's management partner is LCS, and the site carries a 'managed by LCS' mark in its footer. An Expansion Updates section tracks current construction on campus.
The continuum runs from independent living through assisted living, memory support, skilled nursing and long-term care, and short-term rehabilitation. Memory support uses the Heartfelt Connections - A Memory Care Program model. A Life Care contract is offered alongside other contract options, and the site publishes floor plans and a cost comparison tool. Leadership listed includes executive director Chuck Borst, a licensed administrator in Texas who has led the community since 2013, a community administrator for the Arbour, a director of nursing, an assisted living director and an executive chef. No Texas licence numbers are published on the site.
Practical detail is unusually visible here. There is a director of security and transportation overseeing security, concierge and transportation teams, and a Ready List for families planning a future move. The Westminster CARES Foundation launched in 2026 with a one million dollar pledge from Austin philanthropists Dick and Sara Rathgeber, and the community reports raising more than two million dollars for Alzheimer's Texas over the years. The main number is (512) 454-4711.

Austin in context
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.
