CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This Table AL (Assisted Living): Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing. NH (Nursing Home): 24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs. SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility): Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness. MC (Memory Care): Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. IL (Independent Living): Community living with dining, activities, and transportation for active seniors who need little personal care. HOS (Hospice Care): Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The Texas average is: 71.6% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Overview of Longhorn Village

Longhorn Village is a nursing home in Austin, Texas, located on Longhorn Parkway on the city’s western edge. The community has been in operation for 21 years and is owned by Stacy Hibma. It is a 60-bed community currently running at about 51 percent occupancy, which means there tends to be more room available here than at communities running closer to full capacity.

Care includes rehabilitation services, respite care, and 24-hour staffing, with a nursing team that averages 5 hours and 35 minutes of direct nursing care per resident each day. That level of daily attention is worth noting for families weighing options for a loved one who needs steady, hands on support. Longhorn Village accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay, which gives families several ways to cover the cost of care.

State inspection reviews of the community have centered on administrative and documentation matters rather than resident care or safety concerns, with no complaints substantiated. That pattern points to a facility whose day to day regulatory footing tends to run smoothly.

Outside of clinical care, residents have access to a fitness center, library, and outdoor spaces, along with salon and spa services. Building-wide wifi, emergency call systems, and a secured perimeter round out the safety and comfort features. A Lifelong Learning program gives residents a structured way to stay engaged. The location is car-dependent, with a Walk Score of 20, so getting around the neighborhood will typically mean driving rather than walking.

Overview of Querencia at Barton Creek

Querencia at Barton Creek is a continuing care retirement community in southwest Austin, on Barton Creek Boulevard, about seven miles from downtown. It brings independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing together on one campus, so residents and families can move between levels of care without changing communities. The community was named by Newsweek one of America’s Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities in 2025. It is operated by Barton Creek Senior Living Center, Inc.

The skilled nursing side of the campus has 42 beds and typically runs close to full, with an occupancy rate of 94 percent. The average stay is about 105 days, which points to a strong mix of residents recovering from a hospital stay or surgery alongside those settled in for longer-term nursing care. Rehabilitation and therapy services support that recovery-focused population. Nursing coverage is substantial, with total nursing care averaging 4 hours and 49 minutes per resident each day.

Querencia accepts Medicare and private pay, giving families two clear ways to cover a stay, whether a short rehabilitation stint or an extended one. State health inspectors have generally centered their findings on facility-standards and life-safety topics such as building and fire-safety compliance, with issues noted and corrected rather than concerns tied to immediate resident harm.

Day to day, residents have access to dining, health and wellness programming, and clubs and social groups built around shared hobbies and interests. An active Resident Council gives residents a regular voice in community policies and quality of life. Pets are welcome, which can matter for residents moving from a longtime home. The location is car-dependent, with a Walk Score of 8, so families and staff visiting the campus should plan to drive rather than walk to nearby errands.

Overview of Juniper Village at Spicewood Summit

Juniper Village at Spicewood Summit is a senior living community in the Northwest Hills area of Austin, Texas, that provides independent living, assisted living, Wellspring Memory Care, short-term rehabilitation, and long-term professional nursing. Operating with a Texas Type B license since February 2021, the community has been managed by Juniper Communities, a top-tier national provider.

The community has a 109-bed capacity, consisting of 94 assisted living residents and 46 Medicare-certified nursing beds. Currently, the nursing section maintains a population of roughly 24 residents, representing a 50% occupancy rate, which is lower than the typical Texas average. The financial structure relies on Medicare and private funds, as Medicaid is not accepted for nursing care. While the community currently faces an operating deficit, its payroll investment remains at 53.5% of revenue, which is consistent with the standards for a properly staffed medical environment.

From a regulatory standpoint, two different agencies monitor this community, with the Texas HHSC overseeing the assisted living and nursing licenses, while federal authorities manage the Medicare-certified wing. The community has recorded two technical findings regarding the sprinkler system and fire marshal checks, both of which were resolved. The total number of state citations is 67% lower than the Texas average, reflecting a favorable safety record. One administrative penalty was also recorded in early 2025.

Caregiver presence is the most significant attribute of this community. Total adjusted nursing time is 4 hours and 44 minutes per resident daily, ranking it 31st out of 237 Texas nursing locations and 25% above the state mean. The professional nursing oversight is particularly remarkable, with registered nurse hours more than double the Texas average on both weekdays and weekends. Physical therapy time also exceeds state norms by 75%. While assistant nursing hours are slightly below the state benchmark, the overall weekend staffing remains 33% higher than most communities in Texas, earning it a federal staffing sub-rating far above the state average.

Medical support within the nursing wing includes post-acute recovery through a partnership with Powerback Rehabilitation and long-term care for complex chronic conditions. Wound management, oxygen therapy, and specialized nutrition, with professional nurses on duty 24 hours a day, are also available. Through the Connect4Life program, a medical concierge coordinates primary care and pharmacy services on-site. In the assisted living section, the team aids with daily tasks and is prepared to support younger residents or those with moderate cognitive changes. The award-winning Wellspring Memory Care also utilizes therapeutic settings and specialized training, while the Catalyst program ensures social engagement across multiple wellness categories. Freshly prepared dining, a beauty salon, communal gardens, and a library are also provided.

Juniper Village at Spicewood Summit is an ideal option for families in Northwest Austin seeking a campus where a wide range of care, including independent living to high-level nursing, is provided without the need to relocate. The exceptional staffing levels with a registered nurse presence serve as a major advantage in the Austin market.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Austin, TX

Does Texas Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Texas Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
