Overview of Querencia at Barton Creek

Recognized by Newsweek as one of America’s Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities in 2025, Querencia at Barton Creek combines independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing within one Austin campus. The nonprofit community, located on Barton Creek Boulevard, includes 42 skilled nursing beds and accepts Medicare and private pay, but not Medicaid. Querencia holds a 5-star CMS overall rating, the highest available, driven by top marks in Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures. Nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 49 minutes per resident per day, about 27% above the Texas average, ranking the facility 26th among 289 Texas skilled nursing facilities. Weekend staffing averages 37% above the state benchmark. Occupancy stands at 94%, well above the Texas average of 63.5%, reflecting consistent local demand. Since 2022, the facility has received 16 health citations across 4 inspections, 38% fewer than the Texas average of 25.9. No fines have been reported in the past three years. A September 2025 inspection resulted in one serious Quality of Care citation, which has now been corrected. Residents have access to rehabilitation services, dining, health and wellness programming, clubs and social groups, and organized resident and family engagement through an active Resident Council. Querencia at Barton Creek’s continuum of care, above-average staffing, and short-term rehabilitation capacity fit residents seeking post-acute recovery or a planned transition across care levels in southwest Austin.

2 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Registered Nurse (RN) is +182% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	1h 12m per day	▲ 182% State avg: 25m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	32m per day	▼ 44% State avg: 57m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 55m per day	▲ 45% State avg: 2h 1m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 56m per day	▲ 31% State avg: 3h 0m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	4m per day	▼ 5% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	41m per day	▲ 103% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 29m per day
