My husband recently spent about 4 weeks at Querencia/ Austin TX for some rehab after a brief hospital stay. We were very impressed with the level & quality of care that he received by all the staff - nursing, physical therapy, dietary, activities, etc. the staff members were very attentive to both my husband and myself with any questions or concerns that we voiced. Physical therapy dept was excellent! The skilled nursing section is spacious with private rooms and very clean and bright. The food was very good and we were able to choose in advance from very extensive menu options based on personal food preferences. All in all it was a very good experience and I would recommend Querencia to anyone needing skilled nursing care. As a nurse reviewing the experience it was one of best facilities I have experienced personally! Thank you to all the staff - especially Katherine, Marissa, & Thia in PT, Jadelyn, Xenon, Maxi, Ricardo, & Ken in nursing section, & Carol in the activities area! You all made the experience much better for my husband!

Wow, I was blown away by this community! I had high standards because of their reputation and I was not disappointed. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the interior is obviously professionally designed. Don’t even get me started on the food, delicious! A big thanks to Dorothy and Marlen for showing me around, they are a pleasure to work with.

I am extremely disappointed with the treatment I received from Constance at the front desk during my recent visit. While the staff member conducted their duties with a surface-level professionalism, their tone and behavior were condescending , dismissive, and bordered on openly rude. At one point in the conversation she stated "How did you even get in here?". It's important to mention there was one man sitting at the front desk when I checked in on the tablet, She of course wasn't. What concerned me most, however, were the subtle but unmistakable racial undertones in the interactions--particularly in the difference between how I was treated compared to the other guest.
