Meridian Care Monte Vista in San Antonio, Texas, operates as a skilled nursing facility and centers its services on comprehensive medical care. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock to manage medications, monitor vital signs, provide wound care, and carry out physician-directed treatment plans. A team of physical, occupational, and speech therapists offers rehabilitative programs designed to help residents regain strength and function after illness or surgery. On-site laboratory and pharmacy coordination streamline diagnostics and prescription refills, reducing the need for outside appointments. The facility also maintains relationships with local hospitals and specialists to support smooth transitions of care when a higher level of medical attention is required.
Beyond direct medical treatment, Meridian Care Monte Vista supplies supportive services that address day-to-day health needs. Certified nursing assistants help with bathing, dressing, mobility, and other activities of daily living. Chronic condition monitoring, fall prevention protocols, and infection control practices are built into each resident’s care plan. Social services staff guide families through insurance questions, discharge planning, and access to community resources. Respite stays and hospice coordination are available for families who need short-term relief or end-of-life support.
Resident accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms, each equipped with basic furnishings, an emergency call system, and climate control. Some rooms feature direct access to outdoor areas or viewable courtyards, which provide space for fresh air and light physical activity. Not all accommodations have every one of these features, so families should confirm specific room layouts and amenities during a visit.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily in a communal dining room, with tray service offered for residents who prefer or require in-room dining. Menus are planned by a dietitian to meet nutritional guidelines and can be modified for diabetic, low-sodium, or texture-adjusted diets. Staff monitor intake and hydration and relay any dietary concerns to the nursing team and physicians.
Amenities include a combined library and computer lounge where residents can read newspapers, borrow books, and use computers to email family members, browse the internet, or participate in online activities. Staff members are available to assist residents with basic computer tasks and to schedule small group programs such as current-events discussions or technology workshops.
