The Heights On Huebner operates as a skilled nursing home, providing 24-hour licensed nursing oversight for both short-term and extended stays. Residents who need a temporary place to recover after hospitalization can use the community’s respite program, which delivers the same monitoring and therapy services available to long-term residents. A full in-house physical therapy team works with physicians to design rehabilitation plans that address mobility, balance, and strength goals, and therapy sessions are scheduled on-site to avoid outside travel.
Beyond medical treatments, the staff supports routine health management such as medication administration, blood-pressure checks, and chronic disease monitoring. Certified nursing assistants help with bathing, dressing, and other daily tasks, and care plans are reviewed regularly with families and physicians to keep them current. An emergency call system is in place in resident rooms and common areas, and the community coordinates specialist visits—including podiatry and wound care—when ordered.
Private and semi-private studio-style rooms form the core of the residential options. Some rooms offer direct access to outdoor seating areas or garden paths, and Wi-Fi is available throughout the building. Common spaces include a library and computer lounge for reading or email, along with exterior courtyards that can be used for visits or independent time outside. Not every accommodation contains every feature, so prospective residents should confirm room specifics during a tour.
Meals are prepared on-site and served three times daily with attention to clinical dietary orders. Low-sodium, kosher, vegetarian, and gluten-free selections are available, and staff can adapt entrées for other allergen needs when requested. A dietitian reviews menus to keep nutrient levels appropriate for older adults, and healthy snacks are stocked between meals for residents who prefer smaller, more frequent eating schedules.
Residents can spend free time in the activity center, take part in scheduled arts and crafts sessions, join organized social outings around San Antonio, or become members of hobby clubs and interest-based groups within the community.
