Heart To Heart Residential Care Home sits on San Miguel Street in San Antonio, Texas, on a pretty landscaped property with a comfortable front porch where residents can enjoy the outdoors and take in some fresh air if they want, and inside, you'll find a living room with lots of space for relaxing, a dining room with a fireplace, and modern, airy décor, all arranged to feel homey and welcoming instead of large and crowded. The community is licensed for up to 12 residents and offers a choice between private and semi-private furnished rooms, each with its own bathroom and handy features like cable TV, Wi-Fi, and phone service, so people can have a bit of their own space or share, depending on what suits them.
Staff members are on duty 24 hours a day, and nurses are always available, plus doctors can come by as needed. The home fits a wide range of needs, covering assisted living, memory care for those facing dementia or Alzheimer's, long-term nursing care, hospice and respite stays for short-term help, and independent living for seniors who want less aid. There are tailor-made care plans, with help for things like bathing, dressing, transfer support, toileting, and medication management, and special care for people with diabetes, high needs, or incontinence. Heart To Heart welcomes both men and women and is pet-friendly, so residents can bring their pets if they want, and wheelchair accessible showers and private baths make things easier for those with mobility challenges.
Meals are cooked fresh each day, and the dining room feels like eating at home, with three main dishes served daily, plus vegetarian and special diet options for people who need them, including low-sodium or diabetic plans. Housekeepers and laundry staff keep things clean, plus there's move-in help when someone needs it. Residents find activities on site and off, like art classes, craft workshops, music programs, a movie library, brain fitness, games, board games, social nights, and devotional services both in the home and out in the community, and there's a garden and walking paths outside to enjoy the sun or take a stroll. Amenities include an activity room, a beauty salon, a barber shop, a book room, spa areas, air conditioning, community kitchen, and resident parking for those with cars.
Therapy support includes physical, speech, occupational, and even podiatrist and dentist visits arranged as needed. Transportation is available for shopping, doctors, and entertainment, and family members regularly comment on the small and peaceful setting and the staff's ability to give individual attention thanks to the low number of residents, so people don't get overlooked. Safety is important here, with emergency alert systems and restrictions on indoor smoking to keep the air clean.
The home doesn't take Medicare, but it does accept private pay, long-term care insurance, and Veterans Aid and Attendance, and monthly rates for assisted living start at $3,000. Reviews can be found on platforms like Yelp, and Heart To Heart Residential Care Home is verified and licensed as both an assisted living and residential care home with oversight from local and state authorities. This care home tries to give seniors a familiar, safe place to live that feels like a family home, with staff helping out wherever people need it, whether it's daily care, managing medication, doing art in the activity room, or evening board games with friends around the dining table.
