Senior Living Guide
2024
Readers, welcome to your annual CI Senior Living Guide! Our annual Senior Living Guide focuses on resources for seniors living in and around Northwest Austin, from different living facilities to organizations providing services. All of the stories were written by our team of local journalists, and all of the advertisements are from nearby businesses who support our mission to provide free, useful news. Without the support of our readers and advertisers, we wouldn’t be celebrating over 17 years of publishing the North-Northwest Austin paper. Each month, we mail more than 57,000 copies to all of the homes and apartments in the Northwest Austin market. We are unwavering in our commitment to inform communities we cover free of cost because we believe everyone—homeowners and renters alike—deserve to receive high-quality, hyperlocal information about where they live. The stories in this edition dig into the demographics of seniors in our market, what living options are available and a local agency dedicated to supporting the senior population. As always, thank you for reading and we hope you find this guide informative.
