Boarding With Tender Care Inc. is a small residential care home sitting in San Antonio, Texas, and folks say it feels more like a house than a big facility, with room for just nine residents and a close-knit setting that many people find comforting and homey, especially if they want something quieter than a large institution. The place has been around since 1994 under the guidance of Ms. Ruth Cardenas and is a corporation that works with the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services, holding license number 146044, and folks there pay attention to proper licensing and registration as expected for this type of care. The home offers assisted living and board and care, and staff can help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, moving around, medication reminders, and managing health appointments, since there's a nurse and a doctor on call, and more medical support including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus a podiatrist when needed, making Boarding With Tender Care Inc. equipped for higher care needs and memory-care conditions, including incontinence and non-ambulatory care. There are programs for hospice and respite care so families can take a break, and they arrange referrals for home care, home health, and hospice services too.
Every resident gets a personal care plan and round-the-clock help, and the team tries to keep each day structured without feeling rushed, aiming for dignity, belonging, and independence, and the friendly staff helps create a calm, happy atmosphere, with meals cooked fresh and diets tailored to preferences, even including vegetarian options. Everyone gets a fully furnished room, and amenities like cable, WiFi, phone access, resident parking, beauty and barber services, as well as wheelchair accessible showers in rooms, mean it's practical for daily comfort, with a no-smoking policy indoors. Folks can join in Christian devotional services, enjoy both indoor and outdoor spaces, and take part in a mix of onsite and offsite activities that hope to keep bodies and minds active, which is handy since Boarding With Tender Care Inc. tries to support social, physical, and mental engagement as part of well-being. Housekeeping, laundry, scheduled transportation, move-in help, and regular communication with healthcare providers are all part of the service, and family members report that the environment feels safe and welcoming. Residents with pets will appreciate that animals are allowed, while every effort is made for safety, with activities of daily living help and a setup that supports those with high or special care needs. The facility's 4.0 rating reflects solid reviews for care and atmosphere, and although Boarding With Tender Care Inc. isn't BBB accredited, it's a long-standing business still serving San Antonio seniors today.
