GOLDEN AGE HOME

Golden Age Home provides a nurturing and supportive environment for seniors needing assistance with daily activities while maintaining their independence. Our faith-based, non-profit community in Lockhart, Texas, has been dedicated to compassionate care since 1960.

Golden Age Home is a blend of assisted and independent living, including sixteen units reserved specifically for affordable housing (low-income) seniors. Golden Age Home began as a dream of the members of First Methodist Church, Lockhart, in the 50s. These members set out to create a place where older adults could age with dignity, purpose, and Christian compassion. While the services provided include cooking, cleaning, laundry, assistance with activities of daily living, medication management, healthcare oversight, social engagements, lawn care, household repairs, and more, this does not define our organization.

More than six and a half decades since opening, Golden Age Home remains the only nonprofit senior living community in Lockhart and Caldwell County. Approximately forty residents now call Golden Age their home. However, hundreds, maybe even thousands, have called it home throughout the ages. The mission has stayed steady across generations: to provide exceptional, compassionate, Christian care that empowers older adults to thrive with dignity and purpose. Core values—exceptional care, empathy, and belonging—are woven into daily life, reflected in the way residents are embraced not as clients, but as family.

Golden Age Home would be a building if not for the dedicated staff who have ministered to senior adults. Many staff members have served the community for 20–30+ years, including Executive Director Nicole Burnett, who will celebrate 20 years of service in the fall of 2026. Their longevity speaks to more than just commitment—it reflects a calling, a shared belief in the importance of caring for seniors with respect, warmth, and unwavering compassion. They are the heart of our organization. Their love and care turn Golden Age Home into a home and family for those who come to live in our home.

Golden Age Home received the Non-Profit Spirit Award from the Lockhart Chamber of Commerce in 2025, demonstrating its connection to the Lockhart community.
