Sharla's Place

"Sharla’s Place" was established/founded with the determination of developing a beautiful and secure setting with the sole goal of providing individuals with the highest quality care to ensure dignity and quality of life. We wanted an alternative to the traditional nursing homes or assisted living facilities. “Sharla’s Place” is a home, not a home like setting.

How Sharla's Place was started. I was exposed to a personal care home in Austin Texas for quite some time and was impressed at the care the staff provided. The personal care home was the residents' home. I expect people working in the medical field to go above and beyond as I do and at this personal care home, my expectations were satisfied. It was a pleasure to see the residents interact with family and friends. It gives us an alternative from the traditional nursing home and assisted living facilities. The solution, a personal care home. I have been looking to purchase and create such a home for the last several years, but did not find was I was looking for in a home. I knew what I wanted. It had to be just right. My husband and I heard rumors of a house being put on the market. We went to look at it, as we have done so many times in the past. The house was PERFECT! So in March, we started the journey and my dream turned into a reality. The ability to be able to offer alternatives, give the best care with love and compassion, and provide a safe and comfortable home. The beginnings were challenging but a true work of love. I couldn't have done it without my amazing family and friends!

We offer the finest in personal care for individuals needing medication reminders or assistance, meal and activity reminders, and that have short term memory loss, confusion, disorientation, and forgetfulness.

Our mission is based solely on the premise of 'how we would want our parents or loved ones treated and cared for.'
