Chandler Assisted Living in San Antonio, Texas, is a small senior living community located at 1510 Howard Street, licensed for up to 4 residents, and provides assisted living, memory care, hospice care, and respite care. The apartments all have private bathrooms, balconies or patios, and each resident can control their own air conditioning and heat, which is a nice touch when Texas weather gets hot. The staff stays on-site 24 hours a day for emergencies and will help with things like dressing, bathing, and hygiene, as well as moving someone from bed to a wheelchair if needed. They also help manage medications and support diabetic care, including monitoring insulin levels, and will set up special diets for health conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.
Residents get daily homemade meals with nutritious ingredients, and meal service is provided so folks don't have to worry about cooking. There are common indoor spaces for chatting with neighbors, and planned on-site activities include games, exercise, movie nights, and music, along with outings for errands or trips to religious gatherings. There's also a beauty salon, barbershop, wellness center, convenience store, library, and jacuzzi area, and several community amenities like a garden, outdoor space, and a small library with internet access. Seniors can join scheduled fitness, music, and creative programs, and the staff arrange transportation to medical appointments and for errands. Housekeeping and laundry services are also available.

Regular wellness programs include entertainment, pet therapy, and board games, and counseling is available if needed.
Chandler Assisted Living provides help for people who want to live independently but need some support with daily life. Memory care is available for seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia, and there are more intensive services for conditions that require it.
