I would give zero stars, but I can't. The rooms were filthy, the refrigerator still had soda, and the food was disgusting. Whenever I called them for help, they just ignored me. Very little physical therapy. No one was helping the patients. I called my daughter and she and I packed up and left. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE.

My mom was moved here a week ago. The rooms are ok Everytime I have addressed the care staff 80 % of the time I have I received nothing attitude and push back. From the time we have pushed the button for assistance we have waited for over an hour at times for someone to answer the call. Very disappointed! Jim Lindquist

If I could rate a zero I would. My mother was there for rehab this past August and the way they treated her was awful. They left her most nights sitting in her soil and she would call me crying and I would have to call up there screaming at the nurses to go clean her. We were also in the process of trying to get my mother qualified for Medicaid because they said she didn't qualify even though she is 84 and has no income except for social security and no assets or home. When I asked what happens if they don't qualify they said they have two options, either go to a group home or be homeless. So after trying to exhaust funds from her bank that she saved up from her house sale in 2019 which wasn't very much we still were not able to get qualified. All the funds were returned to her bank. Bel Air had the audacity after the way they treated my mother to call Adult Protective Services on me!!! If you care for your parents, please don't put them there, they don't care about the elderly in need.

I found Bel Air at Teravista to be very clean. The people are warm and friendly. My husband has a large room and it's fully furnished. The bathrooms are a good size and it's got a walk-in shower. The food they serve always looks appetizing and freshly made. My son and I both tasted some of the food and it was a bit better than any other place. I've been happy with the care that he's gotten and the help from the staff, nurses, doctors, and caregivers. The rehab is very attractive and the equipment they have is very nice. To me, the value I receive for the money is good. because he's happy there, and my main concern with him is getting a little bit better level of care.

I could give a “0” rating I would. Do NOT let the beautiful facility itself fool you; it isn’t worth putting your loved one here! The care and attention is non existent. When asking questions or bringing up issues with care, or lack thereof, being provided the staff act as if you are a nuisance and your concerns not not important. With the exception of a couple of personnel the aids, assistants and nursing staff don’t seem to give any care or concern to the health and welfare of the patients. Our loved one was / is at a point requiring full assistance for bathing and dressing. The staff allowed an infection on her foot to go unreported and took no action to address the infection. By the time we found the infection it had turned gangrene. This is only one example (and the final straw) of unconscionable neglect and callousness we experienced at Bel Air. The chief of nursing and social worker are inept and callous. The director of the facility talks a good talk but doesn’t follow through. Avoid like the plague!!

Food is terrible. Sometimes you can’t even tell what it is. They are understaffed. My mom fell and pushed the call button and began yelling. Nobody showed up for over an hour. She was in the hospital and had a hand quilted quilt that I had made for her stolen from her room while she was in the hospital. There is one nurse that really even cares.

I chose this facility to rehab my 89-year old mother after a tough bought with the flu. We never were given an orientation and the second night, they left her in a recliner all night. She was too weak to recline the chair so she sat upright and proceeded to urinate so sat in the chair all night, cold and wet. The next morning I was trying to get answers and was there at noon when they brought her medication. Since she had no noon medication, I inquired and learned that this was MORNING meds, one of which was a pain reliever (needed for a cracked vertabra) so she went all morning without pain meds. I wrote a nasty email to everyone in charge and got a weak apologetic call from a nurse, full of excuses. Even a demand meeting produced no one from senior management. These folks just don't care and the staff is dragging the bottom. Please don't send your elderly parents here.

The rooms clean and roomy. The staff is wonderful! Everyone made sure my mon had everything she wanted. When she got sick they did everything they could to find something for her to eat. Everyone that works there is very friendly. The food does need some work. Very impressed with the Rehab facility. I will recommend Bel Air Teravista to my friends and family

My mom was at Bel Air at Teravista for rehab. It was topnotch. The only thing that was negative about it was that she was picky about her food, and she would tell them what she needed, but they would still bring her food that she didn't say she would eat. They would always replace it with something else, but it seemed like they just wouldn't write down what she told them about what she was able to eat or wanted to eat. She actually offered it to me sometimes, and to me, it was tasty and I enjoyed it. Sometimes the housekeeping was slow. Her wastebasket overflowed. Other than that, it was beautiful inside and out. They had several nurse's stations and a doctor on-site. It's in a nice residential place in Round Rock and it was pleasing on the eyes. The staff were nice and easy to talk to. Every Friday they had an ice cream social and they brought her cream to her since she was still with physical therapy. Her room was pleasant. It was a little smaller, but this was just a short stay, so it was sufficient for what Mother needed. They had a nice chair for her to sit in when she got out of bed, or when she got out of her wheelchair. It had a spacious bureau drawer for her clothes, and then a nice closet and a private bath.

My best friend from high school who is 72 years old was just put in this facility out of st. David's Rehab Center. She had heart valve surgery and is very susceptible to infections. She already has a bacterial infection of a disc in her back that is it must be controlled so that it does not get worse. She is in extreme pain. When she arrived they did not know her pain care regimen and had to order the medication she is supposed to have . She is supposed to have an extremely sterile area as far as all her IV connections and her bandaging so that she does not get any more infections in her body because she's already on a very high level antibiotic. When they changed her IV earlier today they did not have the proper sterile cap to put on the connection and if bacteria gets in to her body it may go straight to that heart valve area. She is very afraid she's going to end up getting an infection, especially when her bandaging is changed, because that has to be done with the utmost care and due to this heart valve repair and the infection that she has in a back disc already. She is a nurse and taught nursing for years and knows how things are supposed to be done. Supposedly this facility was very highly rated; however after reading the reviews that is not the case. There are many negative reviews. We need to get her to a facility as soon as possible because this facility is not taking all the medical precautions that they should be. As her best friend, and also as an attorney for 32 years, I am monitoring the situation extremely closely.

I was a patient in this facility and the care was EXCELLENT! The building is very nice and clean, I had my own room and private restroom. The staff is fantastic, always attending to me. They would check on me and make sure I had what I needed. The rehabilitation staff is most terrific. When I first entered, I had a weak leg and could hardly walk. However, with a compassionate staff and great rehabilitation people, I got stronger and can walk on my own. I HIGHLY recommend this facility for in-patient care. My room was always nice and clean, and it was a pleasure to have been here and get back to full strength thanks to the competence and caring of the staff that worked with me. I am more than glad that I was sent to this facility.

Do NOT put yourself or a loved one in this facility. I chose this place based on the 5 star rating from the state & my conversation with Roger. Everything sounded great so we took my mother there after her discharge from the hospital. This is a 93 year old woman, weak as a kitten who can barely hold a cup, if at all. It was suggested by the staff that we put her in their palliative care because a nurse there informed me mom had begun the end of life process. This level of care was supposed to get her a little more attention but instead she got so dehydrated that she developed a salivary gland infection. For two days the right side of her face & neck were swollen & the people there acted as if they were unaware of any problem. Water was not within reach of mom because "she will just spill it." So as far as I can tell the only time my mother received food & water was when I was there to give it to her. The staff was advised she needed more attention but evidently chose to ignore her. Her skin was peeling & was all over the floor of the room. Twice in two days they were asked to clean the floor, twice in two days they did nothing. I brought in a small sweeper & did it myself. Then I called for an ambulance because mother was suffering terribly from the infection. She was taken to the hospital, treated for dehydration & infection. She did not respond as well as hoped & did not leave the hospital alive. Oh yeah, push the call light button all you want, you won't see anyone for at least half an hour. Again, DO NOT USE THIS FACILITY!!

My father-in-law stayed at Bel Air at Teravista. The staff there was not as responsive as where he was at. The meals were OK, but it took too long to get served. The residents would either go to the lunchroom or to the dining hall for their meals. It was like every single thing that was done there was a delay to get anything done. If a patient needed help, it took a while for somebody to get there. If they wanted to eat, it took a while for somebody to get there with their food. I was just really frustrated with that part of it. He was in rehab and then moved to nursing care. The food was not as good, and it had more to do with the delays than it did the quality of the food. If you have good food and you serve it slow and it's cold by the time it gets to the resident, then it's not very appetizing. It's a quality facility, it's very attractive, and it's a nice layout. It has these intermediate sort of courtyard areas you can go outside in, and the individual rooms have access to the courtyards. It's not quite as good value for the cost. It's a pretty expensive facility.

I needed rehab and chose to be sent to Bel Air at Teravista after spending a week in Scott and White Hospital at Round Rock. The facility looked really nice so I thought it would be a good experience. WRONG! Upon arriving around 1pm on a Thursday, I was put in the nursing home side of the facility instead of rehab. I was confined to my room without explanation and without any welcome from staff. I was in my room until Saturday afternoon when a physical therapist came and was told by staff that my being confined was a "false alarm". I accompanied him to therapy and was given exercises to do. I went for a walk later and was overhwhelmed by the strong odor of feces all the way down the hallway. It seemed to be coming from several of the rooms and it remained the rest of the day. That evening I used my call button and after a long time someone came and I requested medication for heartburn and reflux. An hour later, I again requested the medication. No one ever came back nor did I ever receive the medication. A lot later that night, 2 nurses/aides ? came into my room, turned on the light, yanked the cover off me and said I needed to be changed, WHAT?? They had a very rude manner and I told them I certainly did not need to be changed. They left without a word. The next day, Sunday, a therapist came and took me to the dining room to eat and listen to a high school combo entertainment. That was the only pleasant time during my stay. That night I again asked for medication for reflux and heartburn. An hour later I made the request again. An hour after that I went to the nurses station and told them I needed the medication and if I couldn't get it I was going home. Thirty minutes later, about 9:30pm I returned to the nurses station and told them to get my discharge paper ready, I was going home. I called my family to come after me. Just a few minutes after I returned to me room a nurse came with the medication. I refused it and stated my family was on their way and I was going home where I knew I had access to medication I needed. I left shortly after that. The ONLY friendly reception during my stay was from the two therapist I saw and the nurse practitioner who visited me once but could not tell me why I was not on the rehab side nor why I was confined to my room. I would NEVER want anyone I know to be in that nursing home. I do not know what the rehab side is like. BEWARE the wolf in sheep's clothing!!

When your loved one puts the call light on expect an aide to either never show up, or expect a lengthy wait. Quite disturbing/frustrating, inexcusable and unprofessional. Notice also the staff only replies to positive reviews. Stay away from this place. ***20 minutes elapsed and the light is still on. The nurse came in and completely ignored me telling her we need an aide to assist.

The facility is short on staffing at all levels. Staffing knowledge can be limited and getting the information you need for your loved one can be challenging. After experiencing several deficiencies during the first week of stay for loved family member, I called asking for the executive director. After staying on hold for 32 minutes, hung up and called her cell number; whereupon she said she was "just the executive director" & had no idea anyone was on hold for her, even though could tell an operator checked to see if I was still holding twice. Once on their cell phone, the director then starting giving useless statements until someone else could assist. Staff could use training on their software as they couldn't answer questions correctly based on them reviewing information on the screen. Staff that assists checking new patients failed to input very pertinent patient information regarding current health conditions prior to the accident. Wait times can be up to1/2 hour after a patient presses the call button. Food is marginal at best, with coffee tasting very bitter like it's mostly chicory root, juices all watered down, powered scrambled eggs, and a guarantee that the main protein for a meal being overcooked. Although most of the staffing is caring, many can't be understood and they lack general facility information that is important for a patients stay. Although the facility is clean and well kept, the bed mattress appears very worn out in the middle to the point where a crater indentation exists, limiting a patients ability to move side to side, etc.

Beautiful well maintained facility. Rooms are private and nicely decorated; private bath and kitchenette with sink, fridge and microwave. Weekly activities and trips to shopping and local restaurants. Most caretakers are helpful, accessible and knowledgeable and friendly. Food is adequate and appetizing(My Mother is a picky eater). Staff returns my calls and go out of their way to be pleasant to visitors and to their residents. Although 90 years old my Mother is active and stays busy. She is enjoying her private room and the activities. Due to having strokes, she is sometimes frustrated if her call button is not answered immediately, but that is to be expected when there are other residents that also need attention. I am very appreciative of the care and love that is shown to her by the caretakers and the staff.

At eighty-five our mom has advancing proximity awareness dementia, as well as other mental and physical challenges. Even with a full time caregiver it has become no longer safe for her to live in her home, so her four kids spent March and part of April thoroughly researching her options and (with the much needed help of Misty at the Estate Preservation Network) finally ended up choosing and getting mom into a more comprehensive care nursing facility in Round Rock called Bel Air at TeraVista. We expected actually getting her to accept going into a nursing home would be difficult, but she has seemed happy throughout the process. I believe Bel Air just proved to be a lot nicer than she had expected. The first thing she saw when she arrived at that facility was a real chapel and a library with plush leather chairs. Then we showed her, her new address in “Blanco Hall”. The room is much more like its own little efficiency than the typical “older hospital” feeling rooms we’ve seen at so many other places. It is very comfortable and clean, with a nice view of the courtyard. She has her own restroom and even a fridge and microwave. The room is fully furnished, but they let us bring in a bunch of framed photos of family and some of her most loved possessions, so it does very much feel like her own space and place when we go visit. She is getting a perm today at the onsite Beauty Salon in preparation for Mother’s Day, but otherwise is not getting out of her room enough. She’s been there less than 30 days, so the fact that she is so comfortable remains foremost in our minds, but there are lots of activities and, since Bel Air has their own bus, trips for their residents to go shopping, to the movies and such that we are trying to get her to attend more often. The staff is helping and family members are regularly visiting and making sure she minimally goes to at least the onsite events, such as the Ice Cream and Popcorn Socials, Bingo and Dominoes, and Movie Nights. She was just as sedentary at her home, but without the wealth of social interactions that are available at Bel Air. We will just have to hope time and the good efforts of everyone involved prevail on this front. I do want to add that the entire staff in Blanco Hall have been consistently helpful. In fact, our experience with the intake and finance departments and all the rest of the Bel Air staff, from Tina in reception to Maria who cleans her room, have been great. Thank you Kristi, Debbie, Katie and everyone else. I can’t begin to express how much your professional caregiving and your good help and have meant to us in this very tough situation. Our entire family hopes and expects our mother will be happy there for many years to come.

I am not impressed. I went to visit my dear friend this past Saturday - knowing she had been admitted. The lady at the desk was pleasant, but informed me that my friend had not yet been admitted. She did give me a room number - and said I could go take a look, but she would not be there. She was in the dining room with others - but explained how the facility was beautiful but the service was soooo poor. During the few hours I was with her - not one person came to check on her or ask her if she needed anything. She had not received any breakfast that morning - and after telling someone, they did bring her a cold boiled egg. (Not what she had requested). So today I called and she had not had her meals over the rest of the weekend, and had not had breakfast. She is there to be rehabilited and she is not being treated kindly at all. I will be letting my friends know to stay away from this facility.

My mother recently passed away after a year and a half of stroke complications. I am so thankful for the care she received at Bel Air. I toured a few dozen facilities before choosing this one for my mother. It was absolutely the right choice. The nurses were honest and caring and shared funny stories about their interactions with my mom. There were occasionally things my mom would ask for, or changes in care needed as she progressed and Audry the head nurse was always easy to work with and on top of what was needed. No nursing home is perfect, and no facility will feel exactly like home, but Bel Air is run well, and full of staff that care and will try to make your loved one feel at home. I know my mother was as comfortable and happy as possible for her final year and I couldn't recommend them more.

DO NOT BRING YOUR LOVED ONES HERE!!!!!..... If you love your loved one please do not bring them here I am a current resident and the care I am receiving here is unacceptable the nurses have confused my medicines including heart meds that can be deadly! There was a nurse named vallerie and she denided me my bowel program stating that there is not enough stAff to clean me up and she just Did not have time for me The CNA's are very unprofessional with no bed side mannor and additudes to basic requests, most of the staff dose not understand English and will not answer call lights for hours. Please for the sake of your loved ones do not let the beauty of this facility fool you this is a horrible place to leave your loved ones especially in their time of need they will not get adequate care

STAY AWAY!!!! My best friend for 38 years was here for rehabilitation. When I visited her she was frustrated, angry and shaking from several encounters with the staff. Nurses were changing up her medications and when to administer without my friend's doctor approval. When I was there, I noticed her bed was vey dirty where her head went. I offered to bath her and she said yes. The nurses nor aides came in to the room to assist with the bath. They brought the towels, got her into a wheel chair then left us alone. My friend had stool in a diaper they put on her. I told them they needed to clean her prior to her bath.. My friend said she told them early in the morning and now it was noon and they were changing her because I requested it. I bathed my friend in the wheel chair (she had not strength to sit on the shower stool). They brought her lunch very late about 2pm. She is diabetic and needed to eat regularly or in a timely manner this did not happen. The aide argued with my friend because my friend complained that they brought her the wrong plate of food. The aide argued non stop about the menu request form my friend filled out the day before that she had selected the food she brought her. I asked to see the form and she didn't know where it was. Please know my friend never raised her voice to them nor said anything vulgar towards them. Then her night shift aide came in with a sandwich. Smashed the sandwich in front of my friend on her table and said there you go that's all your getting. The aide then turned to me and said "You bathed her?". I said yes!! She was filthy and her bed was gray from the dirt from her hair. The aide said "No I bath her every night", "I give her bed show". Then she turned to my friend saying RIGHT!! RIGHT!! I told her I don't know how she bathed her but water or soap never touched her!! This all happened on a Friday, My friend had set up a meeting for 9am with the director and several other people at Bel Air at Teravista to voice the way she was being treated. My friend called me the next day Saturday, very upset and distraught. I told her I would look for someone in Administration to go and talk with her to see if anything could be done. She said no she was going to have the meeting Monday. Then I got a call at 1:30am Monday morning my friend passed away. My friend died due to heart failure. Among her belongings we found a journal my friend kept documenting how this place treated her. This place made sure her last days before her unexpected passing were horrible full of frustration, arguing and out right childish behavior on the Nurses and Aides part!! If people go to these facilities it is for two reasons: They are in their last stages of life or they have a long health issue they are trying to overcome. ALL PEOPLE SHOULD BE TREATED WITH COMPASSION, UNDERSTANDING FOR THEIR SITUATION AND RESPECT!!! Bel Air you have FAILED! YOUR STAFF IS THE WORSE I HAVE EVER SEEN! They hardly understand English language nor the basic care instructions for caring for the ill.. If you find yourself or family member having to go to this facility PLEASE make sure someone stays with you or checks up regularly on you or your family member. Bel Air go back to square one with training your staff! Lesson 1: Compassion for a human being. Lesson 2: Understanding human suffering and illness Lesson 3 Respect for one's right to be treated with dignity.

After a fall and 3 days in the hospital, my stepmother was transferred to Belair. It was a beautiful facility, but we were soon sorry we selected it. We gave them a copy of the document naming my stepsister as the power of attorney. After 7 days, instead of calling my stepsister, they called my 96 year-old father and told him that his wife needed to be admitted to hospice care, probably would not live more than 7 days, and he needed to take her home and talked him into signing the hospice papers. He could not take her home and care for her when she could not even get out of bed to use the toilet and neither her daughter or I were equipped to provide the care she needed. After the hospice papers were signed, we had to private pay because medicare will not pay for skilled nursing for hospice patients. After a month, and more really bad experiences, we felt we had to move her from Belair to a nearby facility who took wonderful care of her until she died after 3 more months in skilled nursing.

We had reviewed several facilities to move our father after a recent illness. We decided to admit to Bel Air under Hospice care. Unfortunately our father passed at the hospital prior to the transfer. I would like to share my experience during the decision of choosing Bel Air. It is a beautiful environment and staff seemed friendly and knowledgeable. I had been told this facility was going through a change of management and folks were reporting obvious changes in the environment. Even after our loss the staff showed compassion and showed genuine concern for our family. I would highly encourage others to visit and see for themselves what a great place this is.

My mother was at this facility for skilled nursing. I wish that there was something good to say about this facility other than it is beautiful and new. The menus are so inappropriate for seniors - spicy barbeque more than once a week, mexican food, no green vegtables, slaw with so much vinegar, it took my breath away and was inedible. Sandwiches were on a plate and the bread was soaked to slop from juices of other foods. The doctor was there and I asked if he would eat the soaked bread which just hung over a knife. His comment "NO!" One morning I arrived at 10:45am...breakfast still was covered and sitting on a counter and not offered to my mother. Another day I was there from 12:00 noon to 1:30pm. No lunch had been served and I asked what time lunch was. Someone went to the kitchen and brought a tray. My mother had been forgotten. Basic care is clean clothes. My mother was dressed in previously worn clothing including under garments. I complained about her not being dressed in available clean clothing and it just did not seem to sink in. After 5 days of this nonsense, I moved her to another facility. While waiting for her records and meds to hand carry to the new facility, I had to remind the nurse of the meds. She had the records on a PC and her comment was: "I keep thinking I am forgetting something". I was never sure that my mother was given her medications. I agree that family members need to be involved but the neglect, lack of organization and ignorance regarding common cleanliness at this facility requires 24 hour supervision. This lack of organization is just not at the lowest level, it radiated from the administration down. Stars??? none unless I cannot post the review.

If I could I would put in NO STARS!! Stay away! There is NOT enough staff to care for the patients. Management is non existent. The director is never there, constantly leaving messages she will not see you only give you a call. My father left with bedsores and infected toes. PT was good but that is not enough. Feel sorry for the patients who are unable to advocate for themselves. Don't be fooled by how pretty it is there. The care for the patients is horrible!!

Bel Air at Teravista was a new facility. I placed my wife there for respite care, and we liked it. I suspect they were shorthanded. She said the food is OK. It was a really nice facility. The rooms were clean, and they had large bathrooms. They also had a nice shower setup. The physical therapy people were great.

The low level of care provided at this location is unbelievable. My FIL spent a month here and the care was horrible. He is quadriplegic and one of the nurses left him in the shower to grab a towel. He fell over and hit his head, we are lucky he wasn't hurt more than he was. He was unable to hit a call button by normal means so he had a special device he could use. The night nurses moved the call device out of his reach so he couldn't bother them. There was no 'release' plan after his rehabilitation time was over. Insurance said they wouldn't pay for anymore so they dropped him off. No follow up nursing, no training, nothing. It took us almost a full week before we had a follow up visit to assist. This is a person who had no way of feeding himself, going to the bathroom, anything. My husband and I both work full time jobs - but my husband did his best. Our FIL ended up having to go back into the hospital to get his bed sore that developed at this facility. This place made a horrible situation into a nightmare. All we've heard since he was released was 'this isnt how it is supposed to happen.' If you have choices - go somewhere else. The quality of care here is very suspect.

This business is a case study in unrealized potential. The building is less than 2 years old and is absolutely gorgeous. It has a lovely Texas atmosphere and is everything that you would want in an upscale, cutting edge facility specializing in the care of our loved ones. They have more than enough staff on duty at all times and their residents should be cared for in the dignified and attentive way that one hopes to receive. Unfortunately, this is not the case. When we toured the facility in preparation for finding a rehab and possible new home for my 91 year old grandmother, we thought we had lucked into the best of all possible worlds. Once she moved in, it was a very different experience. The hall in which she was staying was heartbreaking. There was one man who was in his bed with the door open to his room. He was repeatedly yelling, "Round Rock Police! Help me! Help me!" The staff ignored him. There was another man on her hall who kept falling out of bed. He would lie in the floor yelling for help until someone finally came. Several times it seemed that the only way the staff would go into his room to help was if someone went to the nurse's desk and told them he needed help. One day my grandmother was nauseous. She told her attendants repeatedly. Four hours later I came in to visit and she was still suffering. No one claimed to know anything about it, in spite of her telling them that she couldn't go to dinner because she felt bad. Additionally, they seemed to find it difficult to follow the doctor's orders. The worst of it was that after 20 days they discharged her without discovering what her medical problem was. She had been admitted because she fell several times from a standing position for some unknown reason. They decided it might be because her blood pressure would drop suddenly after standing. So the doctor ordered blood pressure checks 1x a day. They were to check it in a laying, sitting and standing position. They never seemed to remember to do the check. They also never figured out if that was actually the problem. We learned in a later hospital stay that she wasn't absorbing oxygen and needed to be on oxygen 24/7 with regular nebulizer albuterol treatments. If they had kept her the 100 days needed to have her admitted into skilled nursing under Medicare/Medicaid guidelines, they might have actually discovered why she was falling. The staff was very nice. They looked like they were doing everything they were supposed to do, but the reality was that they weren't and I'm disgusted that we wasted time there. My grandmother was miserable there. It could be such a pleasant place, but it isn't. It's horrible and sad.
