Stonebridge Health Rehab sits in the quiet of Austin's Hill Country at 11127 Circle Dr, and the place has a long history, running since 1996 as part of Caraday Healthcare. Folks here get both short- and long-term nursing, assisted living, and memory care, so whether someone needs some help for just a little while or quite a bit longer, there's room to settle in, and the staff pays attention to daily needs with things like personal care, medication management, and close nurse oversight. The building has walking paths outside, a garden with a fountain, and a big courtyard if residents want to go for fresh air, while inside there's a lounge, private rooms, emergency call systems, and an on-site beauty shop where folks can get their hair done or a shave. Housekeeping and laundry come standard, and the dining is restaurant-style, though inspection reports have flagged some problems with food temperature and storage that management's had to deal with.
Nurses and therapists are on site all the time, with a therapy gym refurnished and stocked with plenty of exercise gear like a stationary bike and parallel bars. Doctors come in to help with everything from post-surgery care to joint replacements, disease management, and wound care. The rehab team works with doctors to make care plans for each person, and therapy covers occupational, physical, and speech. For those with memory impairments, there's a secure memory unit-including a female-only option-using care plans shaped by doctors, nurses, and therapists, plus safety extras like a WanderGuard® system. Activities like bingo, fitness classes, and trivia keep people busy, and there are options for alternative and natural therapies for those who want them.
The staff is welcoming and known for making people feel safe and at home, and with more than 150 years of experience among the leadership, there's no lack of knowledge. Nurse coverage is 24 hours a day, and most days there are about 3.48 nurse hours per resident. Still, inspections, the latest being from February 2025, note a number of deficiencies-eight most recently, including two tied to infection control and even some with pain management and food quality-while over the years, the facility's totaled 22 deficiencies, so there are problems that staff and management try to fix. The nurse turnover rate is about 40.4%. The facility's got 109 to 116 certified beds depending on the count, with a focus on both independent folks and those who need a lot more support, and accepts a wide mix of insurance including Medicare and Medicaid. Stonebridge Health Rehab gets managed by Caraday Stonebridge LLC and is tied to major hospitals in the Austin area, so residents can get specialty care when it's needed. While there are strengths around therapy, memory care, and a beautiful setting, reports from inspectors about infection control and pain management mean families might want to review recent records and talk with the staff before making any big decisions.
