Morningside at The Meadows Assisted Living sits on Babcock Road in San Antonio, Texas, and belongs to Morningside Ministries. The community has several care levels like independent living, assisted living, long-term care, transitional care, and memory care. People 55 and older live in studios or one- and two-bedroom apartments up in the Atrium Apartments, and some residents choose cottage-style residences with patios, balconies, in-unit washer and dryers, and kitchens. The grounds have mature trees, open lawns, a pond, and a peaceful courtyard, and there are well-kept gardens, a small footbridge, a gazebo, a labyrinth, and covered spaces for sitting outside. There's an inviting lobby, indoor common rooms for social time, a cinema room for movies, and a modern gym for exercise and wellness classes.
Residents eat daily meals in the Meadowlark Restaurant, with guest meals also available. The staff serves meals and gives help with personal care, medication reminders, and standby transfer help, and a nurse is on staff part-time. For people needing extra care, there's skilled nursing and memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, and the Kaulbach Assisted Living & Memory Care, now under renovation, will reopen in early 2026 with updated programs and staff. Nurses and care staff stay on-site 24/7, and awake staff respond at any hour if emergencies come up. The community supports diabetics with blood sugar checks, but residents must handle their own incontinence supplies and insulin injections.
People make friends over group activities like art, crafts, music, games, outings, gardening, yoga, and wellness classes. There's a full calendar of social and educational activities, plus spaces for spiritual devotion offsite. Wi-Fi and cable TV are available throughout, and rooms come with appliances. Visitors can use guest parking, and pet-friendly areas make it possible to bring a furry friend. People with disabilities or special needs can get caregiving help, therapy, caregiver support, benefit navigation, and more. Veterans can get assistance, and the facility offers rehabilitation and counseling.
There's respite care for short-term stays, and transitional care helps people recover and go home after illness or injury. Long-term care focuses on dignity and comfort for each resident. Monthly fees cover many services, with extra charges like a $1,500 community fee, a $95 daily respite rate, and a $1,200 monthly second-person fee. The care here is set to medium, with support for people who aren't able to walk by themselves, and room choices range from studio to two-bedroom. The atmosphere aims for comfort without fuss, friendly help, and activities to keep folks moving, learning, and connected.
