Colonial Gardens of San Antonio delivers dedicated memory care for residents living with all stages of dementia, including advanced conditions. The community is prepared to manage wandering behaviors at any time of day, elopement risk, combative episodes, other behavioral issues, and residents who stay awake through the night. Clinical support is available for wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, diabetic management—whether oral medication, injections, or sliding‐scale insulin—plus care for residents under the age of 60. On-site podiatry and acceptance of residents with psychiatric diagnoses add to the medical scope of services.
An RN or LPN is on staff, a nurse is on call around the clock, and the night shift remains awake. Background checks are completed for all employees, and the campus maintains 24-hour staffing and security, including fenced outdoor areas and alarmed doors. Direct care covers full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from supervision with a walker to one- or two-person lifts, wheelchair transfers, and support for individuals who are bed-bound. An activity director coordinates daily programs designed to engage memory‐care residents and reduce agitation.
Private and semi-private rooms are available; some include a private bathroom, basic furnishings, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate to personal taste. Because layouts vary, not every accommodation offers every listed feature, so it is best to confirm specifics during a tour.
Meals feature both a set menu and on-order choices, with snacks available throughout the day. The kitchen team manages texture modifications, diabetic diets, and other physician-ordered nutritional plans to align with each resident’s care profile.
The property is wheelchair accessible and includes outdoor smoking areas, communal gardens, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and wellness spaces, internet access, and on-site religious services. Pets are allowed, and it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
