Phil 2018-09-14 The Plaza at Querencia's facilities were the nicest we've seen. They seemed to have a lot of activities, including transportation to places we might need to go. The food offering was better. They showed us the dining rooms and menu, and we were impressed. The facilities seemed to be first class. The rooms were excellent. They had good, professional management. I visited this facility

Caring93633350 2014-09-02 Querencia at Barton Creek is a very nice facility. In terms of their accommodation, their rooms were large and nice. They was nicely decorated too. It’s quite nice, it was like 5-storey building. It was very nice and it looks like a big hotel. It was nicely and tastefully decorated. The amenity was there for them, so I thought it was a good deal, but again it was expensive for me. The staff were very prompt in assisting us with our visit and that was good.

Virginia W.RICQL 2016-05-10 I visited Querencia on the western outskirts of Austin. It was a very beautiful location with birds, varmints, and deer but still in a residential community. As far as the general public is concerned, nobody can afford it. It's a very high-cost community. I could not afford to live there. I have friends who have moved there. I visited this facility

Happy Davie Jones 2012-10-12 The Querencia staff has done a wonderful job catering to my grandparents needs. This was most evident in the way in which they helped my grandfather suffer minimally as he passed away. The staff is interesting and diverse. However pricing is an issue for me. In particular the prices of meals are too high. We were often discouraged from eating at the home with my grandparents because of this high expense.My grandfather has passed recently and my grandmother lives alone there now. Her pain during this time has been minimized by the community the facility and its staff have created. A large number of daily activities and social gatherings keep the residence there connected and lively. The location is convenient for my family and offers easy access for my grandparents to the Westlake community as well as the Barton Creek Country Club. I would suggest this assisted living home for many older couples with the money to afford it. I am a friend or relative of a resident

commercesd 2012-06-07 While searching for a place for my friend's brother to live, we decided to take a look at Querencia at Barton Creek, since it was conveniently located. Their family members have lived in the region all of their lives. We were really impressed with how well the grounds were kept and how nice and accommodating the staff were. The communal areas all seemed to have a nice level of energy and participation. We could see that my brother's friend would get along well here. They are a full-service assisted living facility - with regular meals, snacks, housekeeping and personal care, as necessary. The dining room, activity rooms and lounges were all nicely decorated. We saw residents playing games, watching television and reading, while some were in the media room watching a movie. The residents are regularly encouraged to participate in a variety of activities, from exercise classes, to things such as creating artwork, play group games and sign up to take trips into the city for all kinds of fun outings. Based upon what we saw, we would recommend that anyone interested in finding a place for their loved one check it out. Each resident receives just the level of care they require.

CaringFriend 2012-01-06 I first visited Querencia when my friend's mother decided to sell her home. Since my parents lived in a life care community in AZ, I thought I knew what to expect. Of course, my friend and her mother checked out all of the financial arrangements and the status of the organization. Everything came up roses. However, Querencia exceeded all expectations in many other areas. The staff is friendly and helpful at all times, no matter what the problem, and they take time to know the residents as individuals. In addition, the food was excellent with several choices of meals and venues. It's a big plus that Querencia offers different styles and sizes of apartments and homes, with beautiful grounds. It really does feel like home with places to walk and spend time with guests and family privately.My friend's mom's major concern was finding a place that allowed her to take her dog. She's had pets all of her life and wasn't going to consider changing that. Querencia won big points on that too. They are most accommodating and understanding of the big role pets play in the lives of some seniors.I've heard no complaints from mother or daughter, and that's a lot of good to say about anyplace. I am a friend or relative of a resident

emrfd 2011-11-04 Querencia is more like a resort than a retirement community. The place is huge - 38 acres with excellent landscaping, architecture and interior design. They have a large covered pool for rehab exercises and recreational swimming, a pet park, art studio, and a fitness center with lots of different classes. Querencia also has great walking trails. I've only tried their food twice, but it was good both times. Unlike other retirement communities, Querencia has certain meals that always available, no matter what time of day it is. Housing is luxurious and consists of apartments, or larger condos/villas. Querencia's pricing is on the higher side, due to their luxuries and amenities. So, in this regard, they might not be the best choice if you're on a limited budget. I believe they are a non-profit, so earned income is reinvested back into the community. Querencia is very flexible when it comes to helping residents pay for assisted living and medical services. They allow residents to use Querencia's in-house medical services (by paying for LifeCare), or residents can pay privately for medical/nursing services outside of the community. If you have the funds, Querencia is a great choice with lots of luxuries and flexible nursing care. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Ann121252150 2016-02-29 I referred to Querencia as a docked cruise ship. It was ultra lovely in every respect, but I just could not afford it. It’s a life care so there was a heavy entrance fee, and then the monthly fee was pretty average or a little high average, but it was gorgeous. So that would have been my choice, but to afford the upfront fee which 90 percent of that would go to my beneficiaries. So I liked that part of it, but to get that much cash, I’d have to sell stuff that gives me income. This was from $400,000 up to $1M entry fee, so we’re talking the elite, and so everything about it was first class. The young man who showed me around, his name was Philip Taylor and I liked him very much, was very professional. So all of that was very good and the staff seemed to be very handpicked. Everything was what you would want. I visited this facility

William19 2013-11-21 I had lunch with my friend at Querencia and the food was good. It was set up like a hotel. It was a seated dining and you would order from a menu. It was a very nice place and the staff in the front desk and the restaurant seemed fine. I visited this facility

leyash 2012-05-08 My experience with the facility is that they were extremely caring. They took requests seriously, and wanted to make the tenants as comfortable as possible. They were there to help with just about any needs that anyone had, and they really took their jobs seriously. They were thoughtful, caring, fun, as well as giving and attentive. In the times that I visited, it was very clean, functional, and there was always someone there to help me or my grandmother with anything that we needed. They were a retirement facility, and my grandmother was there for a little over 2 years. They really show that they have a love for their tenants, and they wish to give them the best time possible, while still letting them have a bit of their own independence. They cared about the people, and it showed through their actions and thoughts. It was a great facility to work with. I am a friend or relative of a resident
