My father arrived at Aria Memory Care in April 2015. He has been struggling with Parkinson's and…read morewas in the beginning stages of Alzheimer and Dementia. He was also recovering from a broken hip and was using a walker. Aria had the safest facilities for my father to move around. The common areas have wood floors and less clutter than other communities. I felt my father was safe. My father enjoyed being able to enjoy the out side on his own with access to their courtyard. Not all communities are set up where your loved ones can enjoy outdoors when they want to. The Facility Manager was very helpful in helping set up my fathers room as well as hanging pictures. Since my father was an engineer, the Facilities Manager took the time to have many great conversations with my father. It is great that Aria is dedicated to Memory Care. They know how to take care of all levels. The separation of cognitive and non cognitive guests is priceless. My father was able to have conversations with other guests with similar challenges. Having a loved one in a home is all ways difficult but when you arrive at Aria you really do not feel you are in a nursing home. It helped me when I was visiting my father. Last but not least the Executive Director Ceri Mackenzie is there for you and your loved ones 24 hours. I have seen this first hand. She was there for helping me manage my fathers needs. Her experience and knowledge comes in handy as anything can happen any time when you are taking care of our elders. The team reacts positively to Ceri's experience and enthusiasm. To sum it up, Aria is a gem in senior community. It offers clean, safe, easy to navigate common area floor plan, spacious individual units and a lovely courtyard to enhance for my father's daily experience. Mostly importantly, the team members are friendly, caring and do not hesitate to come to aide whenever the unexpected need rises. My father actually thrived and showed improvement in matter of weeks under their care. . I have had other family members in Brookdale, Sunrise and, and Emeritus. Aria Memory Care is superior above all other communities. I would recommend Aria to any of my close friends and family.

We moved our father into Aria in July after touring many different facilities in North Austin and…read moreCedar Park. Our Mom was my Dad's primary caregiver prior to her unexpected death so this transition has been very difficult. I chose Aria because the staff were all very caring friendly, the facility is very clean and modern, and the apartment/room was a nice size and well laid out to match, as closely as possible, my Dad's bedroom at home. My Dad has only been there 2 months but I still feel very confident I have made the right decision with Aria. Ceri Mackenzie is the medical director and she is very patient with the family and also with our Dad. She is knowledgeable and shares that knowledge to make us more comfortable with the transition. The nursing staff and aides have all been very friendly to Dad - especially Kristin, Melissa, Brandon and Jeannette - but they have all been wonderful.

My parents moved to the independent living side of The Delaney in 2018. My dad passed away in 2020,…read moreand my mom continued living independently there until recently, when she transitioned first to assisted living and then to memory care. Throughout each stage, the staff at The Delaney took excellent care of my mom. She was at the highest level of care in assisted living, and shortly after moving to memory care, she needed hospice care. The Delaney staff who cared for her along with the hospice staff during her final week were more than caring--they made sure her needs were met while treating her with compassion, dignity, and respect. I especially want to recognize Bobbie, the med tech, who gently stroked my mom's hair after administering her medication, and Charles, who took the utmost care when assisting Mom. Those thoughtful gestures meant so much to our family. We also recently held my mom's memorial service at The Delaney, and one of the staff members, Rob Sterk, provided a Christian service for our family. That was truly a step above and beyond, and it meant so much to us. We wanted a place where our parents could age in place, and that is exactly what The Delaney provided. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in a safe environment with engaging activities and caring support. We are grateful for the care, kindness, and respect shown to our family.

We live much closer to MANY other memory care facilities in Cedar Park/Austin. Finding nothing we…read morewere happy with, or even willing to "settle for", we expanded our search. Rocky Hollow's rooms are outstanding and amazingly spacious with (actual) outdoors (not just an interior courtyard w/ sky light). It was THE BEST tour out of 12 facility tours we took. The owner, Faez, was genuinely warm, compassionate, kind, and reassuring. He said, "We want you to be able to enjoy your time here visiting your mother, and we will do all of the work." And for the last 10 months of her life, the staff at R.H. did exactly that, plus they truly loved her and took EXCELLENT care of her. Donna is the Mary Poppins of elder care w/ an answer/solution for everything!! I visited Mom often, and witnessed all of the staff consistently caring for all of the residents with patience and dignity. I cannot recommend Rocky Hollow enough. Your loved one will be in the best possible hands.

The care here is excellent and personal and catered to dementia patients. Their approach to having resident's do as many things on their own is a much better way rather that having them highly sedated ( as we saw in some other facilities). The facility is bright, welcoming and has different activities which keep the residents occupied. Some other benefits have been having a nurse/doctor who visits the facility rather than having to go outside. They are very accommodating to help work on different diet restrictions as well. Overall, can't say enough good things about all the folks here starting with Char, Jane and going through all the caregivers who help care for all the residents.

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.

My mom moved to the Enclave in Cedar Park in September 2021 at age 92. From the beginning the great…read morerestaurant dining that was promised by sales failed to materialize. The excuse given was the pandemic. The food was poor quality and residents frequently waited 30-45 to get waited on because there was not adequate wait staff. The tables are so crowded together (because the Enclave couldn't or wouldn't hire enough wait staff to open the other dining room) that it was dangerous for residents using walkers or scooters to navigate between them. Thank goodness my mom did not need any assistance in her apartment. She was mobile and able to take her own medications. There was CONSTANT turnover in all areas including management. We gave 30 day notice, moved Mom to Brookdale (wonderful!)in June and now are fighting for the 1/2 month refund we are due. The incompetence at this facility is truly unbelievable. Don't move your loved one here!

This is a newer facility that shows well and the service staff are very friendly! Enough so that I…read moremoved my dad in here in October of 2022. Six months later, they notified us that rent was going up 14%. This is the Austin market -- rent increases are a fact of life! But when your entire demographic is on a fixed income, raising the rent at all six months in, much less by more than ten percent, suggests a certain disregard for the types of decisions that families make for eldercare. Nobody ever likes rent increases and we've always been accustomed to getting one each year in previous facilities. But as the Enclave collects a tidy 'community fee' of $2,500 when you move in, they have incentive to turn rooms over. I quote the outgoing director: "While I hope (your dad) will be able to stay here, I certainly understand if a change is needed based on finances." In other words: We'd like somebody else's community fee. A shame, because the people on the ground doing the work are good and the facility charges otherwise pretty reasonable rates. It'd just be nice if they stuck to them for more than six months.

I've had the pleasure of watching this community being built from the ground up. I've also been…read moreable to watch first hand and see the care and concern that the owners have put into this community; down to the finest of details. 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.

She is from another culture and we had struggled to find a facility who was willing to cater to those differences, when it comes to the foods she still loves, but Sundara's staff have been happy to prepare her favorite foods so that she can feel like she's at home and that has made a big difference for her. 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. My mother is wheel chair bound and helpless to care for herself. We have finally found a place that actually takes care of her physically, mentally, and spiritually. Mom is finally at home.
