LiveOak Ranch
LiveOak Ranch is located on 63 acres outside Martindale, Texas, just seven miles from San Marcos. This program serves residents whose personalities, likes, and interests are as different as those of any community. Whether it is attending church, going to lunch in San Marcos, or simply enjoying the relaxed pace of the countryside, residents choose the activities they want to participate in.
A Day at the LiveOak Ranch
Our staff of caring Direct Support Professionals assist our residents in creating a daily schedule that best serves both their needs and preferences.
All residents receive support such as social and living skills, personal care and money management.
Outings to San Marcos and neighboring communities are regular activities that our residents look forward to.
The number of people living in the several buildings scattered across the property varies, but the family-style atmosphere and quality of life remain consistent.
Our community offers roomy suites, a design that encourages social interaction while at the same time offering an appropriate amount of privacy.
Good Morning!
Every morning is an opportunity for residents to thrive! Our dynamic daily schedule offers a variety of activities to kick-start the day, whether it's hitting the gym for an energizing workout, grabbing coffee at a local shop, or going out for lunch, there's something for everyone. Our diverse range of clubs—such as art, dance, hiking, aerobics, and many more are open to all residents. Plus, every resident enjoys unlimited access to our local gym, empowering them to stay active and engaged as often as they like.
Good Afternoon!
In the afternoon, residents come together and enjoy different activities. Whether it’s a friendly ping pong match, a round of pool, or enjoying a movie, we find ways to keep everyone engaged. We also take the opportunity to run errands such as going to the grocery store. For those pursuing personal goals, work blocks are a rewarding way to stay productive. Residents may also assist in prepping for dinner or caring for their personal space, cultivating a sense of responsibility and pride.
Good Evening!
In the evening, we often enjoy a thrilling night of bowling, mini golf, or watching a live concert in the park. On campus, the options are endless. Residents can enjoy a relaxing evening watching their favorite show, reading a good book, or continue mingling with other residents and staff.
At LiveOak, we aim to create a supportive, learning environment, empowering residents to take control of their lives and build independence, all while being part of a compassionate and vibrant community.

Meet Taylor
Taylor has lived at LiveOak since 2009.
She is a true cowgirl and loves riding horses, wearing boots and listening to country music.
Taylor started her LiveOak journey at SmithHouse, where she lived for six years.
In 2015, she moved to the Ranch. Most recently she acquired and moved into her own tiny-home.
Taylor's story is one of supported independence. Since she moved to LiveOak, Taylor has grown substantially.
Taylor requires daily social and emotional support as well as reminders to take her medication and keep to her daily routines.
Taylor enjoys staying busy but can become easily overwhelmed.
With staff support, she has found a balance in being able to participate in the activities offered at LiveOak and
the broader community while also being able to escape to the seclusion of her own home when needed.
Talyor's story is a great example of how LiveOak residents can use LiveOak as a stepping stone for the community while also learning positive coping strategies.
"LiveOak has helped me with solving my everyday problems. The staff here have become my friends and my support system and the Ranch has become my home."
