The Renaissance House sits at 227 Saratoga in San Antonio, about four miles outside Alamo Heights, and has six beds in a small, home-like setting, which does make it feel more personal for folks living there. The staff keeps an eye on residents around the clock, helping with bathing, dressing, getting in and out of bed or chairs, and managing medicine, and the place welcomes people who need assisted living, people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and folks who need respite care, hospice care, or even just a short stay. Meals are planned by a chef to meet special dietary needs, like diabetes or allergies, and they serve those meals in a shared dining room. Residents can choose private or shared studio rooms, and rooms have details like their own baths, wheelchair-friendly showers, and some even have nice views.
People there find activities to join in every day, like community-sponsored events or movie nights, some time outdoors on walking paths or in the garden, and indoor spaces for socializing or relaxing, so there's plenty to keep busy. They arrange transportation and parking for outings, offer laundry and housekeeping services, and the emergency alert system means help is always close. Staff work to support folks at a higher level of care, even those who can't get around well, offering incontinence help and support with daily needs. For families that want to stay in touch, every room has its own telephone. The staff are known for being friendly, helpful, and kind, and the whole place is set up to help people keep as much independence as they're able, but step in with a hand when day-to-day chores get a little too tough.
