Poet's Walk in San Antonio is dedicated exclusively to memory care, providing structured daily routines and programming tailored for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Care teams receive dementia-specific training and work to preserve residents’ cognitive abilities while supporting their need for predictable schedules and familiar surroundings.
Medical oversight supplements the memory-care program. On-site physicians monitor residents’ overall health, specialized diabetes management plans are available, and licensed speech therapists address communication or swallowing difficulties. The community is fully secured, reducing the risk of wandering and ensuring staff can respond quickly to any change in condition.
Residents live in private suites that may feature wheelchair-accessible showers, independent climate controls, in-room cable service, and the option to personalize wall colors or décor. Some apartments include direct access to outdoor areas or views of the butterfly garden, while others are closer to the central fireplace or piano lounge—availability of these features varies by unit.
Dining is organized around both set menus and made-to-order options prepared by a professional chef. All-day service means residents can eat on their own schedule, and kitchen staff accommodate diet modifications such as no-sugar, low-sodium, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and organic requests. Guests are welcome to join meals, and the restaurant-style setting supports social interaction.
Residents have access to an activity center, indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, yoga and chair-yoga classes, sensory-based and intergenerational programs, library and computer resources, clubs, karaoke, live-music events, birthday parties, dances, fitness sessions, social outings, and seasonal swimming.
