Who operates The Waterford at Round Rock, and how large is it?
The Waterford at Round Rock is licensed to Pal Round Rock Trs, LLC and managed by Sslpal Jv Management, LLC, with 114 licensed places in total, the 30th-largest of the 162 active assisted living licenses in the five-county Austin metro.
HHSC first licensed it on December 11, 2012, about 14 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.
On Wyoming Springs Drive in northwest Round Rock, near St. David's Round Rock Medical Center and Old Settlers Park. The community offers assisted living and memory care, with memory care delivered through the operator's Magnolia Trails program. It is operated by Sonida Senior Living.
The Waterford at Round Rock sits at 7230 Wyoming Springs Drive in northwest Round Rock, a residential stretch the operator describes as minutes from Austin with easy access to Interstate 35. The community is run by Sonida Senior Living, a company that operates communities across several states and maintains an investor-relations site. It is a single campus, purpose-built for older adults, combining assisted living and memory care under one roof rather than a scattered-cottage layout, with an interior courtyard the operator photographs prominently.
Two care levels are offered. Assisted living covers daily support with personal care, dining and activities. Memory care runs under Sonida's Magnolia Trails programme, described as a secure, homelike setting built on consistent routines. Assisted living floor plans run from a 400-square-foot studio through a 525-square-foot one-bedroom to two-bedroom apartments in the 600 to 925 square foot range; memory care offers a 252-square-foot private suite and a 338-square-foot companion suite. Monthly rent covers three daily meals plus snacks, activities, housekeeping and laundry, maintenance, security and 24-hour staff support. No Texas facility number is published on the page.
The community suits a family that wants both care levels available on one campus and values proximity to acute care: Sonida names St David's Round Rock Medical Center as the nearest hospital. Shared spaces include a game room, TV lounge, library, activity centre, fitness centre, theatre, courtyard and an on-site salon and barber. Apartments are pet-friendly with designated walking areas. Programming listed includes a walking club, gardening club, brain fitness sessions, art and cooking classes, religious services and pet-focused activities.
What does The Waterford at Round Rock's Type B license mean for a resident?
The Waterford at Round Rock 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.
36 of its 114 licensed places (32%) 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 The Waterford at Round Rock?
The TULIP record lists 1 cited state violation for The Waterford at Round Rock: 0 from health inspections and 1 from life safety code (fire and building) inspections, with the most recent inspection exiting on October 6, 2026. Each citation carries the date the facility corrected it.
| Inspection exit | Visit type | Finding (as written by HHSC) | Corrected |
|---|---|---|---|
| October 9, 2018 | Life Safety Code | The facility failed to ensure the building and structure complied with Chapter 18, New Health Care Occupancies, of the Life Safety Code, NFPA 101. | November 1, 2018 |
These citations span 2018 to 2018. 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 The Waterford at Round Rock been fined or sanctioned by Texas HHSC?
Yes. TULIP lists 3 administrative penalties for The Waterford at Round Rock, totalling $7,050, the most recent imposed on August 14, 2025.
| Imposed | Action | Amount | Rule cited and finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| August 14, 2025 | Administrative Penalty | $2,500 | 26 TAC §553.253(d)(2)(C): The facility failed to ensure that the attendant's on- the-job training included safety measures to prevent accidents and injuries. |
| February 20, 2024 | Administrative Penalty | $2,250 | 26 TAC §553.5(c): The facility failed to comply with the specific requirements for its licensure type. |
| February 12, 2024 | Administrative Penalty | $2,300 | 26 TAC §553.267(a)(3): The facility failed to ensure each resident was free from abuse and unnecessary restraints. |
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.

The Waterford at Round Rock is at 7230 Wyoming Springs Dr, Round Rock, Texas 78681, in Williamson County. The nearest other licensed assisted living building is A Serene Setting, about 1.1 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.

How does The Waterford at Round Rock compare with other assisted living in Williamson County?
At 114 licensed places, The Waterford at Round Rock is 3.2 times the size of the median Austin-metro assisted living license (36 places) and holds about 4% of the 3,251 licensed places in Williamson County's 60 facilities.
| Measure (HHSC record) | The Waterford at Round Rock | Austin metro / county context |
|---|---|---|
| Licensed places | 114 | median 36 |
| Alzheimer's-certified places | 36 | 84 of 162 metro licenses are certified |
| Cited violations in published inspection history | 1 | median 2 per license |
| Administrative penalties listed | 3 | 18 of 60 Williamson 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 Round Rock?
The Waterford at Round Rock 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 The Waterford at Round Rock?
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.
- The August 14, 2025 penalty cited 26 TAC §553.253(d)(2)(C). What changed afterwards, and who is responsible for it now?
- Can I see the report from your most recent life safety code visit and your plan of correction?
- How many of your 36 Alzheimer's-certified places are open, and what is the overnight staff ratio inside the secured unit?
- Which care needs would mean my parent has to leave, and how much notice do families get?
- Is the management company the same one that was here two years ago, and how long has the executive director been in post?
- 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?
