About Smith House

Smith House is a 7-bedroom group home in downtown San Marcos, Texas, operated by LiveOak Living Community as an assisted living facility for adults with cognitive disabilities, including those with mental illness. It is one of three locations within the LiveOak intentional community network, which has served this population since 2002.

Smith House provides a supportive environment where residents receive tailored care and support while maintaining opportunities for independence and community engagement. The home facilitates an active and inclusive living experience, with residents participating in clubs such as Bible Study, Arts and Craft Club, and Creative Writing. Residents also enjoy social outings such as lunch gatherings and coffee trips with other community members.

The broader LiveOak Living Community includes a 63-acre ranch located 7 miles from San Marcos and apartment-style living options, allowing individuals to transition between different levels of support as their needs change. Smith House serves residents who require more structured care compared to the apartments while maintaining connection to the wider LiveOak community programs and activities.

LiveOak welcomes family involvement and offers overnight visitor accommodations so families can explore the community as a potential home for their loved ones. The organization emphasizes creating an environment where residents can build meaningful relationships, celebrate holidays together, and participate in volunteer opportunities within the broader Hays County area.

If you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee, never you. Those referral agreements are our only tie to the communities we list.
