Questions about The Continental
The Continental is one of Austin’s most recognized independent senior living communities, located at 4604 S Lamar Boulevard; just minutes from Central Market, hospitals, parks, and shopping. Residents enjoy resort-style retirement with chef-prepared meals, a full activity calendar including tai chi, yoga, and live music, door-to-door transportation, and a pet-friendly environment. Starting from $2,900/month on a flexible month-to-month lease, The Continental offers all-inclusive independent living in the heart of South Austin.
Long-term care insurance usually does not cover independent living. There are two primary reasons that independent living isn’t usually covered:
1. Independent living residents do not receive medical or personal care from licensed or certified staff.
2. Independent living residents do not need to live in independent living facilities; they choose to do so in order to experience resort-style retirement with easy access to amenities and services that allow them to rest, relax, and enjoy themselves.
Although independent living isn’t covered by long-term care insurance, many residents find that they save money when they move from their home to an independent living facility because of the fixed, predictable expenses and all of the services and amenities included in that price.
The Continental is an independent senior living community in Austin, TX, designed for active retirees who want a maintenance-free lifestyle with resort-style amenities, without requiring medical or personal care. Residents live fully independently in private apartments while enjoying chef-prepared dining, social activities, fitness programs, and on-site services like physical therapy and house call doctor visits through trusted partner providers. For seniors who want the freedom of independent living with easy access to optional support services, The Continental is an ideal fit in Austin.
Independent living expenses vary from community to community, depending on the cost of living in that region and the floor plan the resident selects (ranging from studio apartments to two-bedroom apartments). Many residents are able to enjoy the luxury of retirement in an independent living community starting around $2,900 per month.
We encourage prospective residents to meet with their financial advisors to determine whether they can afford to move. Many residents find that they save money by selling their home and paying one low monthly fee for all the services, amenities, and utilities they need to enjoy security and adventure in retirement.
Monthly pricing at The Continental starts from $2,900 and includes three chef-prepared meals daily (with after-hours food options), all utilities except personal phone, complimentary Wi-Fi and cable, weekly housekeeping, on-call maintenance, door-to-door local transportation, concierge services, and access to all community amenities — including the fitness center, hair salon, library, and movie theater.
