Sunny Spirits at Hickory Hollow sits in San Antonio at 6302 Hickory Hollow, and offers several types of care for seniors who need some help but don't require a full nursing home. The community suits up to 12 residents, and provides assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, respite care for short stays, and hospice care if needed toward end of life. Staff help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, medication management, hygiene, and even have a mobile stylist for haircuts or grooming, and can help both inside and outside of the bath. People who live here might need some supervision or need help with toileting and mobility, and staff keep close watch, especially in the secured memory care sections.
There are private and semi-private wheel-chair accessible rooms, with private rooms costing $4,500 per month and semi-private rooms available at $2,480 per month. Rooms have private baths, cozy tubs, and wheelchair accessible showers for comfort and safety. The facility has indoor and outdoor common areas, garden spots, a book room, sauna or fitness options, a hair salon, and spaces for group games or movie nights. Residents can join scheduled music and art programs, social and recreational activities, fitness routines, board games, and even animal therapy or outdoor relaxation times, with both on-site and off-site options including devotional and spiritual gatherings.
Homemade meals are cooked on site by chefs and are adjusted for special diets when needed, and the community earned the Best Meals and Dining award, which says something about the food quality. The facility welcomes both cats and dogs, making it a pet-friendly place. Complimentary transportation gets residents to appointments, errands, or church. There are staff on hand trained for high acuity care, incontinence support, diabetic management, wound care, and skilled nursing needs if required, so it covers both basic and advanced care levels. Care plans are personal, and regular activities help residents stay engaged, whether playing games, reading in the book room, or relaxing in a secure outdoor area.
There's an easygoing routine to days here, with help when a resident wants it but support meant to encourage independence as much as possible, and plenty of chances for socializing or quiet time depending on what each person prefers. The approach centers on putting each resident first, with detailed plans for meals, medication, activities, and health care. Sunny Spirits at Hickory Hollow aims to be a comfortable place for older adults in different stages, whether mostly independent or requiring more daily help, all while providing a safe and caring environment.
