Senior Living Guide
2024
Readers, welcome to your annual CI Senior Living Guide! This guide features the latest updates and resources on senior living options in New Braunfels. All of the stories were written by our team of local journalists. In this year’s edition, we hear from the new director of the Comal County Senior Citizens Foundation (Page 28) and get to know the new director of the New Braunfels Public Library (Page 29). Our cover story explores the way local organizations such as the New Braunfels Food Bank and Meals on Wheels programs are stepping up to deal with rising demand for their services (Page 32).
