Who operates Brookdale North Austin, and how large is it?
Brookdale North Austin is licensed to Brookdale Senior Living INC Publicly Traded, with 112 licensed places in total, the 31st-largest of the 162 active assisted living licenses in the five-county Austin metro.
HHSC first licensed it on August 20, 2013, about 13 years ago. Ask what has been renovated and whether ownership or management has changed in that time, since the licensee and management company above are the current ones.
What does Brookdale North Austin's Type B license mean for a resident?
Brookdale North Austin holds a Type B license, which allows residents who need staff help to evacuate, need attendance at night or need help transferring, as long as they are not permanently bedfast.
Type B is the license most Austin-area communities hold, and it is the only one that can carry an Alzheimer's certification.
30 of its 112 licensed places (27%) are Alzheimer's-certified. That certified number is the cap on memory care residents, so ask how many of those places are open today and whether assisted living residents get priority when one opens.
What do Texas HHSC inspections show for Brookdale North Austin?
The TULIP record lists 1 cited state violation for Brookdale North Austin: 0 from health inspections and 1 from life safety code (fire and building) inspections, with the most recent inspection exiting on August 7, 2025. Each citation carries the date the facility corrected it.
| Inspection exit | Visit type | Finding (as written by HHSC) | Corrected |
|---|---|---|---|
| February 10, 2021 | Life Safety Code | The facility failed to provide the required sprinkler system to meet NFPA 13. | March 11, 2021 |
These citations span 2021 to 2021. A citation is a finding that a rule was not met on the day of the visit, not a measure of overall quality, and every one listed here shows a correction date. What matters on a tour is whether the same kind of finding repeats, and what changed afterwards.
Has Brookdale North Austin been fined or sanctioned by Texas HHSC?
Yes. TULIP lists 1 administrative penalty for Brookdale North Austin, totalling $3,000, the most recent imposed on April 9, 2024.
| Imposed | Action | Amount | Rule cited and finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| April 9, 2024 | Administrative Penalty | $3,000 | 26 TAC §553.267(a)(3)(F): The facility failed to provide a safe and decent living environment. |
Penalties are public because they are meant to be read. The useful question for the community is not whether it has ever been fined, but what it changed: ask the executive director to walk you through the most recent one.
Where is Brookdale North Austin in Austin, and what else is licensed nearby?
Brookdale North Austin is at 5310 Duval Rd, Austin, Texas 78727, in Travis County. The nearest other licensed assisted living building is Asher Point Senior Living of Austin, about 0.6 miles away.
Austin proper has the widest range of care levels in the metro and the widest range of prices with it. Central and west-side communities price toward the top of the market; north and northeast Austin is generally more moderate. Traffic is the practical constraint families underestimate — a community fifteen minutes away at 10 a.m. can be forty at six in the evening, and evening is when most visits actually happen.

How does Brookdale North Austin compare with other assisted living in Travis County?
At 112 licensed places, Brookdale North Austin is 3.1 times the size of the median Austin-metro assisted living license (36 places) and holds about 2% of the 4,994 licensed places in Travis County's 74 facilities.
| Measure (HHSC record) | Brookdale North Austin | Austin metro / county context |
|---|---|---|
| Licensed places | 112 | median 36 |
| Alzheimer's-certified places | 30 | 84 of 162 metro licenses are certified |
| Cited violations in published inspection history | 1 | median 2 per license |
| Administrative penalties listed | 1 | 27 of 74 Travis County facilities have one or more |
Size cuts both ways. A large campus usually means more amenities, a deeper staff bench and an on-site move from assisted living to memory care; it can also mean more residents per caregiver on a given shift and more inspection findings simply because there is more to inspect. Ask for the staffing ratio on the floor your parent would live on, not the building average.
What does assisted living cost near Austin?
Brookdale North Austin does not publish its rates in the state record, and we do not estimate them. The best published benchmark is the 2025 CareScout Cost of Care Survey Texas median of $5,666 a month ($184 per day) for a private one-bedroom in assisted living, which is a statewide figure, not an Austin one.
Austin's rapid growth, competitive labor market, and newer inventory generally push local pricing above the Texas median. We do not publish an Austin-specific dollar figure because no primary source publishes one. Ask each community directly for a current all-in monthly quote.
CareScout does not survey memory care as a separate category, so no authoritative memory care median exists for Texas or for Austin. Any memory care price you see quoted online is an estimate, not survey data. Expect a certified memory care place to cost more than assisted living in the same building.
Ask for the base rent, the care-level fee your parent would be assessed at today, and what moves them to the next level, all in writing. See what senior care costs in the Austin area and how STAR+PLUS can cover assisted living services.

- How many of your 30 Alzheimer's-certified places are open, and what is the overnight staff ratio inside the secured unit?

- Who administers medications, and are they a licensed nurse or a trained attendant?
- What does the care-level assessment cost and how often is it repeated?
