Find Residential Care Home Communities Near San Antonio, TX

Answer a few questions to get personalized results

Who are you searching for?

Residential care homes in San Antonio may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. San Antonio care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.

Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in San Antonio, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.

We are also serving Assisted Living facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Shearer Hills/Ridgeview, The Oaks/Oak Park-Northwood and Oak Park-Northwood.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Alamo Heights, Universal City and Schertz.

Discover the many ways to pay for senior living

Planning ahead can better position you to make good choices for your loved one’s care in the future. But if your aging family member needs care now, there are ways to finance the cost of long-term care through a combination of approaches.

Research services for seniors in San Antonio, TX

In San Antonio, TX, seniors have access to local offices and organizations that may help them obtain financial assistance for senior care, including:

San Antonio operates a comprehensive public bus system called VIA, which consists of the standard city bus as well as VIAtrans, a system geared toward persons with disabilities. VIAtrans trips can be scheduled approximately a day in advance along VIA’s standard bus routes. Eligibility must be determined for approval to utilize VIAtrans services. Seniors 62+ can obtain a Reduced Fare ID, which reduces the cost of bus fare on weekdays, and permits free rides on weekends. Buses generally run from around 5am to 10pm, with some downtown buses running later.

San Antonio offers several health care providers for seniors wanting to be proactive about their health or for seniors seeking treatment for chronic conditions. The area has several hospitals, including Methodist Hospital and Kindred Hospital San Antonio.

San Antonio’s pleasant weather and reputation as a major tourist destination means there’s never a shortage of fun activities. For Texas history buffs, no visit to San Antonio would be complete without a visit to the Alamo mission, which currently operates a museum and historical tour. Another of the city’s most popular destinations is the San Antonio River Walk. A sunken pedestrian thoroughfare, the River Walk winds through the city along the San Antonio River, and is lined with shops, restaurants, historic missions, and various attractions. The River Walk is a central component of many area celebrations, such as Fiesta San Antonio — a yearly city festival dating back over a century, commemorating the region’s historical battles. Fiesta San Antonio lasts approximately 2 weeks, draws millions of people, and consists of hundreds of events, such as a boat parade of floats travelling the San Antonio River. San Antonio is also home to what was the first modern art museum in Texas, the McNay Art Museum, which consists of founder Marion Koogler McNay’s 1927 mansion, the museum itself, and a Japanese-style garden. The museum includes over 20,000 art objects, and boasts works by famed artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe, Pablo Picasso, and Diego Rivera.

What are care homes?

Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management. Although residential care homes vary significantly depending on the community, services usually include:

  • Help with personal care
  • Medication management
  • Mobility assistance
  • Nutritious meals
  • Social activities and outings
  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
