Independence Hill Assisted Living in San Antonio provides two levels of residential care—Assisted Living for residents who need daily support and Independent Living for those who are largely self-sufficient but want the reassurance of staff on site. Assisted Living residents can receive full help with bathing and dressing, and staff can assist with walker transfers to promote mobility. Independent Living residents maintain a greater degree of autonomy while knowing that the community’s licensed personnel can step in if needs change.

The community is equipped to manage wound care, oxygen therapy, diabetes—whether controlled with oral medications or injections—and can admit adults younger than 60. There is no specialized dementia program. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, a nurse is on call around the clock, and awake night-shift caregivers perform regular checks. Each apartment is fitted with a pull-cord alert system to reach staff quickly. Background checks on employees are standard, and visiting podiatry services reduce the need for off-site appointments. Residents who can toilet and eat independently retain those tasks, but full assistance is available where needed.

Apartments offer practical features such as private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable access, and residents may paint or decorate to suit personal tastes; however, not every unit includes every feature. The design supports wheelchair access to make moving about the apartment straightforward.

Meals are prepared to order, snacks are available throughout the day, and dietary modifications are accommodated by request. Independent Living residents can opt into medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan if they prefer not to cook regularly.

Amenities include resident parking, outside smoking areas, a pet-friendly policy, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and scheduled local transportation. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
