About this community

Highland Assisted Living in Abilene, Texas is a residential assisted living facility that specializes in caring for adults living with mental health conditions — including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, PTSD, autism spectrum disorders, and other diagnoses. This is not a general senior community; it is designed specifically for adults who need consistent, informed support around mental health. The facility operates around the clock and describes its approach as family-like, with personalized care plans, life skills training, and connections to local hospitals when additional medical care is needed. Crisis support and case management services are also mentioned. On the family involvement side, the facility holds regular meetings, shares care plan updates, and collects feedback through surveys. Activities include arts and crafts, fitness, outdoor outings, and community events — things that help residents stay engaged and connected. The website mentions that cultural backgrounds are considered in care planning, which is a meaningful statement, though no specific cultural programs or multilingual staff are listed. Before scheduling a tour, know that no pricing is shown online, and it's not confirmed whether Medicaid, Medicare, or VA benefits are accepted — those are important questions to bring with you.

Questions to ask when you tour

1. 1

   Does insurance or Medicaid cover this?

   The website shows no pricing and doesn't confirm whether Medicaid, Medicare, VA benefits, or long-term care insurance are accepted — ask directly so you can plan without surprises.

2. 2

   How do staff handle mental health crises?

   The facility mentions crisis intervention resources, but it's worth asking exactly what happens step-by-step if your loved one has a difficult episode — who responds, what training they've had, and whether hospitalization is a first or last resort.

3. 3

   What does 'cultural care planning' look like here?

   The website says cultural backgrounds are integrated into care plans, so ask for a concrete example of how that has worked for a resident from a background similar to your family's.

4. 4

   Who are the mental health professionals on staff?

   Staff credentials are mentioned broadly, but ask for specifics — are licensed counselors or psychiatrists on-site regularly, or are they consultants who visit occasionally?

5. 5

   How consistent is staffing day to day?

   For someone with a mental health condition, familiar faces matter enormously — ask whether residents are assigned the same caregivers routinely, and what the facility's staff turnover has looked like over the past year.

6. 6

   What is the current resident count and availability?

   The website doesn't mention bed count or openings, so ask how many residents currently live there and whether the environment feels calm and appropriately staffed given that number.
