Our read on Sage Park Austin

Sage Park Austin runs 46 beds under a for-profit partnership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.24 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average of 3.86. That's the good news, and it's real. But weekends run about 13% thinner than weekdays, and the quality measure rating is 2 out of 5, so the care people actually receive doesn't track with the hours on paper. Twelve deficiencies sit on the current record, two of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $99,713. The last inspection was May 2025, so the picture is recent.
