Woodcrest Home for Senior Citizens sits in a quiet neighborhood in Northeast San Antonio, at 11307 Forest Shower, and folks around town know it as a small, friendly place for older adults. The home's got a single story with six bedrooms and room for up to ten residents, so things stay pretty cozy and everyone gets to know each other. Some rooms are private and others are semi-private, so residents can pick what suits them best, and there are private apartments too. The place has a pretty yard out back where folks can sit outside or walk around, and it's close to grocery stores, coffee shops, pharmacies, and medical centers, so daily errands and doctor visits are easy to manage.
Staff are always on site-day and night-and they're there to help with things like bathing, walking, dressing, eating, bed transfers, and toileting. There's always someone nearby to give standby assistance or answer the 24-hour call system, and nurses and a doctor can be called in when needed. Physical, speech, and occupational therapy are available, and folks dealing with memory problems or Alzheimer's can get special care. If a podiatrist or dentist is needed, they can come by too.
Meals are prepared with organic ingredients, and residents don't have to worry about cooking, cleaning, laundry, or keeping up the house, because those things are all handled by the staff. Residents can socialize in both indoor and outdoor common areas, take part in activities and devotional services both on and off site, and enjoy programs that include games, educational classes, and outings to local attractions. Pets are welcome, and the house is accessible for people using wheelchairs, with no smoking allowed inside. Private bathrooms and kitchenettes are available in some rooms, and air conditioning, cable, phone, and internet are provided.
Woodcrest arranges transportation to doctors' appointments, shopping, or local events, and families can choose from different floor plans and care levels based on the resident's needs, including hospice care, home care, memory care, adult day services, and respite care. Residents can use beauty and barber services right on site, and folks staying for long-term or short-term care have options. The place has been recognized by the Texas Organization for Residential Care Homes as home of the year back in 2002, which means it's respected among care homes in the area. The community gets fair reviews, with a score around 7.0 from residents and families. Everyone who moves in gets a personalized care plan so needs and interests are met with respect and dignity, all in a home-like setting where kindness matters most.
