How to read Querencia at Barton Creek's star rating
The CMS overall star rating for Querencia at Barton Creek is a composite of three separately measured domains: health inspection results from state survey teams, staffing levels reported through payroll-based journal data, and clinical quality measures drawn from resident assessments and Medicare claims. A 4-star overall rating means Querencia at Barton Creek sits in the upper tier of rated providers nationally, though a strong overall score can still hide a weaker individual domain.
For Querencia at Barton Creek, CMS currently publishes 2 out of 5 for health inspections, 5 out of 5 for staffing, 5 out of 5 for quality measures. Health inspection scores are graded on a curve within each state, so this facility's inspection score is a ranking against other Texas providers rather than an absolute measure. Staffing scores reflect reported nurse hours per resident day, and quality-measure scores reflect resident outcomes such as falls, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.
In local context: 24 rated facilities in Austin average 2.6 out of 5, and the Texas average is 2.8. Querencia at Barton Creek rates 4 out of 5, above that benchmark. Comparing a facility against its own local market matters because inspection severity, Medicaid reimbursement rates and staffing supply all vary sharply by state.
What Querencia at Barton Creek's inspection record shows
No deficiency citations for Querencia at Barton Creek appear in the CMS extract this page is built from. That reflects the records CMS has published for this provider, not an inspection performed by Clear Care Connect, and the federal extract can lag a state survey by several months.
Before you rely on a clean record, ask Querencia at Barton Creek for the date of its most recent standard survey and for its current CMS Form 2567. Also ask the Texas survey agency whether any complaint investigations are open, as complaint surveys are logged separately from the standard annual survey cycle.
What ccrc costs near Austin, Texas

When you call Querencia at Barton Creek, ask for the total monthly figure at the care level being recommended — not the base rate — plus the schedule of annual increases over the last three years and what triggers a move to a higher care tier.
