We were extremely fortunate to find this facility to care for our mother, whose decline in balance…read moreand memory required her to be in assisted living. After a very extensive search of the available facilities in the Leander and North Austin area, with visits to many of them, it was clear to us that Riva Ridge was by far the best choice. Given its small size, at the time of our interest there were no available rooms, so we asked to be put on the waiting list. The wait was well worth it. After moving there, our mother in a short period of time became accustomed to her new surroundings and the homey environment of the place, which is in stark contrast to the crowded-hospital feel of many facilities. Ken Missler is a hands-on owner of the place, and he and his staff are caring and compassionate while maintaining their professionalism in the day-to-day care. The range of residents' issues and capabilities is wide, and the staff engage the residents in games and art, etc., to the extent of the residents' capabilities. Visitation is essentially unlimited, though it was limited for a time during the pandemic in accordance with statewide COVID restrictions. The availability of both assisted living and memory care, performed in adjacent buildings, along with the availability of hospice care, are useful combined features of the facility that are not commonly found elsewhere. My very favorably view of Riva Ridge has been corroborated by others. My wife, as part of her church's visitation outreach to home-bound seniors, has visited many assisted living places in Leander and Austin. None has come close to the homey and comfortable environment of Riva Ridge. Once, when I was visiting my mother at Riva Ridge, I met a former nurse who was looking for a facility for her disabled husband, after removing him from another assisted living place that was not adequately caring for him. Having experience in these matters, given her occupation, and having looked at several possibilities, she told me she was very impressed with Riva Ridge and wanted to place her husband there as soon as possible. Our mother was at Riva Ridge for two and a half years as her health declined, the last six months in hospice care before she passed away peacefully in her sleep. She was taken care of, looked after, engaged with friendly and caring people. I thank Ken and his staff for taking such good care of her, and I unreservedly recommend Riva Ridge to others who need to find a place for their loved ones that require compassionate, professional care.

Not only does it feel like a home with home cooked mealthe curated furnishings and art, but the people that work there are what make it so special. This team has some amazing people on it! The caregivers at Tiffin House Assisted Living and Memory Care do great work that is a work of the heart. They nurture and care for our families, not only taking care of the required daily things, but the show them with love & care in the ways that the residents need and want it. Mom enjoyed her time at Tiffin House and so did I. I spent many an evening and night with her and days when I could so that I could keep mom company & help her heal. I was lucky to be able to bring mom from the hospital straight to Tiffin for skilled nursing rehab (they came and did it in-house) after mom had a broken leg. Each time you move someone with dementia it can cause decline so I was happy she could move once and love her days at Tiffin. I can't say enough great things about the women who cared for my mom. They know who they are and I love them so much for caring for her in this last part of her life. The care was so good and Mom was so determined that she even "graduated" off of hospice care and was walking again & doing so much better recovering from being a pedestrian hit by a car on Stan Schlueter Rd in Killeen (55 mph 5 lane). You never think an accident like that could happen when you're paying Visiting Angels of Killeen to provide a caregiver to watch your mom, but it did happen. My hope is Visiting Angels trains their staff like Tiffin House trains theirs. Justin Trodahl, President of Tiffin House, has training for employees but also training for families who have a loved one with Dementia/Alzheimer's. The training makes a big difference, especially when living with folks who have dementia/Alzheimer's. My heart is full of love for these gals who do the hard work of everyday life, and feel the sad loss when their residents pass away. Tears were shed by many, and we had some good cries together when my mom passed away. They say once you are at Tiffin you are a part of the family and it is true.

It was clear to us from our very first visit that Tiffin House was the right place for mom. The…read moreinteraction between Justin, the owner, the staff and our family was so lighthearted and fun, but the evidence of how much everyone cared about the residents was there. There was never a dull moment anytime we visited. Also, more importantly, thank you to the wonderful staff for the love and kindness you all showed to our mom and us during her time at Tiffin House. We could not have asked for a better experience during these past 3 1/2 years. We love all of you, even the Aggies. Hook 'Em! Mike M.

My sister and I toured several assisted living places in Round Rock before deciding on Sedro Trail…read morein Georgetown. I knew two other families who had family members there previously and we liked the smaller, more homelike setting with private rooms and a maximum of ten residents. Our mother received the kind of loving care we wanted for her and every staff member treated her sweetly and gently. We visited daily at different times and the home was ALWAYS clean and well kept. I grew attached to both the girls caring for mom and the other residents. When Mom went on hospice the director, Nu, worked well with the scheduling and medication management. Nu seemed to be available to her staff at all hours for questions and decisions. The owner, Sindhu, is very nice and caring as well. I have nothing bad to say about Sedro. When Mom passed away, they were with us every step of the way. Mom was cared for and kept safe and we will be forever grateful that homes like this help families like us when it all becomes more than we can do by ourselves.

Don't fall for the owner's charming, but disingenuous, story-telling and demeanor. She will brag…read moreabout their staff-to-resident ratio, but the quantity doesn't manifest into quality care. While there are a couple of very caring employees, they do not (and cannot) provide the majority of the care in a 24/7 environment. Most employees here are inexperienced and the turnover rate is high (even observed within the brief time that I visited). High turnover rates are almost always due to unfair treatment from business owners and it's not a stretch to then imagine how the residents are treated. If you want your loved one to get quality attention and care, look for a facility that is classified as a "skilled nursing" facility; they must meet higher educational and qualification standards than an "assisted living" facility. Also, if you decide this is the place for your loved one and you come to an agreement with the owner about anything, get it in writing. Although she admitted she made an agreement, she said she wasn't going to honor it and didn't 'have to' because she didn't sign anything. That behavior wouldn't be surprising from some business owners, but it's particularly appalling in this line of work. Resources abound on the Internet; I wish I had had more time to research this properly. There are numerous lists on the web of questions to ask when researching living facilities; to them, I'd add: 1) ask questions about the staff, i.e. their education, certification, professional experience, longevity with the facility, etc. - these are the people who will engage with your loved one on a daily basis, so you'll want to know how they are qualified 2) visit unannounced and ask for a tour and 3) look for a visitor and ask them what they like/dislike about the care their loved one is getting.

My wife needed extensive physical and occupational therapy. The Oscar's assisted living pricing was the most competitive. Their pricing is fixed for rehab and assisted living. That means no surprises at the end of each billing cycle. We have also found the management team to be superb. Jasmine Walker (Sales), Craig Lentz(Executive Chef) and Melissa Russell (Assistant Director), have provided the information and delivered on the services promised in their marketing literature. In April, 2026 we attended one of the Oscar's semi formal event for residents and their families. It was terrific. Kudos to Hannah Neuffer - Lifestyle Director and her department for the wonderful decorations and Hannah for the great entertainment with the Mark Charles Band. Chief Craig Lentz - Dining Director never fails to amaze diners with his entrees, sides and desserts. Chef Lentz provides wonderful meals throughout the day. We love The Bistro, The Poppy dining room and Jon's Bar. We have also found the daily activities offer a nice variety to help ensure residents have interesting and fun things to do during the day.

We wanted someplace that was new-looking, as opposed to showing its age badly, had lots of natural light, and seemed to care about the needs of the residents. We also wanted a place that had onsite memory care facilities. We looked at Sage Valley Senior Living twice and immediately liked that it was a new facility. We loved that it had lots of natural light and a different menu daily with a chef who cared about creating the best eating experience for the residents. We even had a chance to eat there during a subsequent visit with my in-laws. We found the food to be far better than expected. Even the cheeseburger was very tasty with a flame-broiled taste. Since moving them into Sage Valley, my mother-in-law has flourished and made wonderful friends. The staff has been nothing short of fantastic in their care for them. They call us and notify us of problems they discover, and they show their level of caring every day. The staff has been very friendly whenever we see them, the onsite medical staff has been fantastic, the nurses and aides have worked hard to make them feel special. During my father-in-law's final days, the staff was very helpful and always had a caring word for my mother-in-law and family. After his death, the staff rallied around my mother-in-law and greeted her with open arms and hugs when they saw her. I know every place has its challenges, and I came into this facility with eyes wide open, but my wife and I have been very happy with our decision to move them into Sage Valley.

I am writing to share our family's experience with Round Rock Assisted Living, following a six day…read morestay for my father from June 5th through June 10th. We made the decision to move him out urgently due to multiple failures in care, safety concerns, and misleading information provided to us prior to admission. We were referred to this facility by a hospice nurse, and during our initial conversations, Norman, nurse, assured us that my father would receive daily showers. He also stated that although they did not offer respite or trial stays, we would only be charged for the days he was there, plus a $1,500 community fee. This directly contradicted the information on their own website, which clearly advertised respite stays. The website also stated a 1:4 caregiver to resident ratio; once we questioned this, Layne, the acting owner, removed that claim from the site. During my father's six days there, the level of care was far below what was promised. The facility had only one staff member on duty responsible for cooking, baking, laundry, caregiving, and medication administration. A caregiver openly expressed feeling overwhelmed. My father received only two showers during his entire stay, both provided by the hospice nurse--not by facility staff. On June 9th, when we arrived to check on him, he was still wearing the same clothes from the previous day. My mother had to request a washcloth from Norman just to clean him up. That same evening, we discovered he had been given his medication at the wrong time (8 p.m.), which is known to cause insomnia. When my mother requested his anxiety medication, she was told it would have to wait until Norman could be reached--yet both Norman and Layne had already left for the day, as they typically do in the late afternoon. The following day, we made the decision to remove my father from the facility. When we asked Norman for his medicine while packing him up, Norman handed us another's patients' medication. Once we got home, we realized we were missing his anxiety medication( a controlled substance), we went back and the caregiver couldn't find it. We mentioned to her the incident with Norman mixing us the 2 patients medication boxes, she looked in the other patients' box and found my father's medication. This was extremely alarming and raised serious concerns about medication safety and compliance. Despite these significant failures in care, Layne has refused to refund any portion of the $7,800 my mother paid for six days. She insists that a contract was signed, while ignoring the fact that the facility did not meet the care standards they promised. It is clear that they are prioritizing sales over resident safety and well being. Layne has only been in charge for a few months, and while her father previously had a strong reputation, the current management is not operating at that standard. There is also another recent review describing a similar experience. Our Hospice nurse told us this facility had the appropriate care, she was going on previous visits when Don was in charge. Everything has changed since then. Based on what we witnessed, I strongly caution families to be aware of these issues. My father is at the end of his life, and the care he received at this facility was unacceptable and unsafe.

Knowing that every little detail was carefully calculated in order for a loved one's need really sets this community apart. The passion, drive and experience of the staff here really are second to none. My career revolves around senior care. If you're familiar with dementia or Alzheimer's, it seems that a simple but overlooked concept is that people who have memory loss thrive in a smaller community setting. It breaks my heart when I walk into any community with a larger case load; to me the residents aren't able to get the support that they require. Sundara's design for a smaller, more intimate setting allows for a better quality of life with those diagnosed with memory loss. This is a great way for anyone's family member to live out their life. Instead of being a number, they're an actual member of an tiny family unit at Sundara. Another thing that sets apart Sundara is it's pricing. Sundara Senior Care does not believe in charging for different levels of care, and they don't believe in any sort of add-on's or up-charges. This is invaluable - fixed fee and all-inclusive pricing is an amazing benefit to this community. First hand, I know that it can be difficult to anticipate the costs associated with long-term care for a loved one and this is an absolutely amazing concept. When it comes time to look at options for my own family, I will look no further than Sundara Senior Care. I am confident based on my observations and understanding of this community that it is the perfect option.

Their staff is the most caring that we've seen and we have tried four other facilities. They keep her clean and dry. They keep her room clean and tidy.
