My brother was a resident at Marbridge for 48 years. He began as one of the most independent…read moreresidents in The Village, leaving in 2022 when he became more physically disabled due to medical issues. They provided a modern, clean living space, transportation to his work, cooking classes, supervised grocery shopping, and adults available at all times. In 2022 my brother moved to The Ranch as he could no longer physically navigate The Village campus. The Ranch staff loved on him, making the transition much easier. At this point, he fully transitioned to campus life, rather than a working world schedule. They provided an array of classes, with each resident having 3 classes per day. Staff filled in with special activities during class semester breaks. Finally, my brother had further medical issues and moved to The Villa, where there was more access to medical support and services. Once again, the staff had smart suggestions to help this transition and were always willing to work through any rough spots which might occur. Supports at the Villa included an on-site physical therapy team, around the clock nursing care, a PA on site full time, a dedicated doctor, a social worker, as well as daily planned activities. Marbridge was a life long blessing for both my brother and my family. Our experience has been that they provided a quality living environment with appropriate levels of care for all stages of life.

The management's mission of caring for residents doesn't exist. The residents are bored but staff…read moredoesn't care. It is easier to not do anything. As an RT, if you try to help a resident you are told by the director there is no need to. The hardest part of the job is not being able to befriend, help residents. The cottages are not upkeep. The food served is terrible. The residents need assistance in basic care to look clean, shaved, groomed. They need guidance. I left because of the management lack of support in wanting to assist the residents. Feels more like an institution than a community. They seem to keep parents away and tell residents not to tell them anything. I cried too many times to stay working at The Village. You need to either not care to work there or the staff will hate you.

It's important to explore innovative ways for nonverbal, cognitively challenged individuals to engage with their environments.

Friendly for kids of all ages with different sections offering slides, a lazy river, wave pool, and experiences for all age groups. My daughters (ages 7 and 3) particularly loved the kids slide section and the wave pool. I did see quite a few dead bugs and leaves in the lazy river and wave pool which was a little off putting. They have lockers to store belongings, as well as clean bathrooms and changing rooms onsite. They also offer a variety of food choices which are pretty good & reasonably priced. Very few crowds if you arrive right at opening time. I was happy to see there were no lines at all for the slides. They open a half hour early for season pass members; general admission is 11am. Definitely worth checking out for a day of family fun in the hot TX summer!

They also have BBQ pits for cooking, picnic tabels for eating, and a vollyball court; they even have water volleyball! We all spent a really nice day at WLB and wouldn't hesitate to go back another day :-) Tip: Be forewarned; while there are rest rooms here, they're not particularly clean, they don't have toilet paper, and they don't have doors.

There are outings to various locales, but you have to sign up with a lottery system at the beginning of the month as only some can go, but still good. It's definitely helped my retirement!

Some of the attractions here are scheduled concerts, line dancing and yoga along with various classes. There are no pickle ball or basketball courts here.

You must have a sticker on your vehicle and a scan tag to park in the parking lot or use the pool. They do tow. Also has a private boat launch and parking for members. If you are not a member you can walk through the gate and use the park. Only problem, there is no parking on the street. Non members park up in the neighborhood or walk from thier house. The new board has done an amazing job. They put in a new board walk and kayake racks. In general, cleaned up the place. Seems like there are a lot more people going down on the weekends to BBQ, swim and hang out. So much fun for kids of all ages. They even made a little beach area on the lake that is perfect for toddlers and such. If you live in the neighborhood, sign up for membership, you won't regret it. If you do not live in the hood, make some friends who do! It's a little hippie and very laid back. We do ask that you don't bring glass containers (wine glasses/mugs/beer bottles) and please keep the pooches on a leash.

Located just east of Austin Bergstrom International Airport, Rio Vista is great if you want to avoid a commute up north after work. They also offer a shuttle service after school from Westlake for kids whose parents are unable to drive them out for their lessons. They have a great summer camp program where they make sure children learn the basics of horsemanship and riding. Rio Vista has a sprawling facility, set on rolling grassy pastures.
