Who operates Sundara Senior Living, and how large is it?

Sundara Senior Living is licensed to Sundara Opco1 LLC and managed by Sundara Senior Living LLC, with 32 licensed places in total, the 114th-largest of the 162 active assisted living licenses in the five-county Austin metro.

HHSC first licensed it on April 27, 2018, about 8 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.

Small dementia-care home on Rusk Road in Round Rock, northeast of the US-79 corridor. The operator describes itself as locally owned and owner-led, housing sixteen residents per home with staff on site around the clock. Care offered is memory care for Alzheimer's and other dementias, including short-term respite stays.

Sundara Senior Living occupies 1000 Rusk Rd in Round Rock, north of Austin, and presents itself as a memory care home rather than a multi-storey community. The operator states it is locally owned and owner-led, and that its ownership team shares a twelve-year history together. Its written pitch is explicitly against the corporate model: it says it does not use add-on fees, upcharges or menu-based care, and contrasts itself with operators that change ownership and management frequently. Tour hours are published as 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and the site invites families to contact an owner directly by email.

The service line is dementia and Alzheimer's care, with staff on site around the clock who specialise in dementia. The operator argues from research that small settings reduce overstimulation, disorientation and agitation, and builds its model on that claim. A structured respite programme is offered separately, described as covering anything from a few hours a day to a few days a month, using the same blend of physical, cognitive, social, group and individual activities intended to give residents routine. Included in the monthly arrangement are three daily meals plus snacks, activities, housekeeping and laundry, maintenance, security, guest meals and increasing levels of care. No Texas licence number appears on the site.

This suits a family that wants a domestic-scale setting and direct access to owners rather than a sales office, and one testing the water through short-term respite before committing. A downloadable community brochure and a photo gallery of residences are published, and the operator lists support for the Doggies for Dementia programme.

What does Sundara Senior Living's Type B license mean for a resident?

Sundara Senior Living 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.

All or nearly all of its 32 licensed places (32) are Alzheimer's-certified, so this is a dedicated memory care building rather than an assisted living community with a memory care wing.

What do Texas HHSC inspections show for Sundara Senior Living?

The TULIP record lists 4 cited state violations for Sundara Senior Living: 0 from health inspections and 4 from life safety code (fire and building) inspections, with the most recent inspection exiting on February 11, 2026. Each citation carries the date the facility corrected it.

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 Sundara Senior Living been fined or sanctioned by Texas HHSC?

No. The TULIP record lists no administrative penalties or other enforcement actions for Sundara Senior Living as of October 24, 2026.

Enforcement in Texas assisted living usually takes the form of an administrative penalty: a fine tied to a specific rule. A blank enforcement record means none is published for this license; it does not mean the community has never been cited, so read it alongside the inspection history above.

Where is Sundara Senior Living in Round Rock, and what else is licensed nearby?

Sundara Senior Living is at 1000-1 Rusk Road, Round Rock, Texas 78665, in Williamson County. The nearest other licensed assisted living building is Double Creek Assisted Living and Memory Care, about 1.5 miles away.

Round Rock sits inside a genuine medical cluster, with St. David's Round Rock, Ascension Seton Williamson and Baylor Scott & White all close by. That matters more than it sounds for anyone with a condition needing regular specialist follow-up. AGE of Central Texas also runs its second adult day location here, which gives Round Rock families a respite option that most suburbs lack.

Straight-line distances from HHSC geocodes; drive times are longer.

How does Sundara Senior Living compare with other assisted living in Williamson County?

At 32 licensed places, Sundara Senior Living is 0.9 times the size of the median Austin-metro assisted living license (36 places) and holds about 1% of the 3,251 licensed places in Williamson County's 60 facilities.

A smaller building tends to mean the same caregivers every day and a quicker read on a resident's changes; it can also mean less depth when staff are out. Ask who covers nights and weekends and what happens when a regular caregiver is off.

What does assisted living cost near Round Rock?

Sundara Senior Living 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.

What should you ask on a tour of Sundara Senior Living?

Bring questions built from the state record rather than the brochure: the record tells you where to push, and a good community answers them without hesitation.

1. Can I see the report from your most recent life safety code visit and your plan of correction?
2. How many of your 32 Alzheimer's-certified places are open, and what is the overnight staff ratio inside the secured unit?
3. Which care needs would mean my parent has to leave, and how much notice do families get?
4. Is the management company the same one that was here two years ago, and how long has the executive director been in post?
5. Who administers medications, and are they a licensed nurse or a trained attendant?
6. What does the care-level assessment cost and how often is it repeated?
7. Do you contract with STAR+PLUS for assisted living services, and how many residents use it today?
