Here, we'll discuss what sets our community apart. Read on for more information about getting the best help for your loved one in San Antonio.
Independent Living
Discovery Village Stone Oak offers three types of senior communities. The first, independent living, is designed for seniors who can take care of their own personal needs.
Those in independent living live autonomously and create their own schedules. Instead of requiring daily care, residents can focus on advantages like:
- Housekeeping
- Laundry services
- Community programs
- Special events
- Enhanced safety features
- Extensive grounds and amenities
- An accessible apartment and common areas
Our vibrant community and personalized living spaces are ideal for seniors from all walks of life, making active independent living a top choice for many residents.
Assisted Living
We also offer assisted living for seniors who need some additional help with day-to-day tasks. This living option relies on a compassionate caregiver to help with tasks like:
- Dressing
- Bathing and showering
- Using the bathroom
- Brushing teeth
- Combing hair
- Cleaning up messes
- Managing medication
No two seniors will have exactly the same needs. Caregivers may only need to do some tasks for certain residents. Our community is flexible and adapts to each resident's precise requirements.
Memory Care
Memory care is specifically tailored to those with Alzheimer's and dementia. This senior living option prioritizes:
- Cognition-boosting activities
- Mindful dining and wellness
- Purpose-driven life enhancement
- New sensory experiences for mental stimulation
- A focus on health and happiness
In memory care, residents get care from those who are well-versed in assisting those with dementia. They're constantly undergoing training to improve their skills working with those who have cognitive issues.
Discovery Village Stone Oak: What Sets Us Apart
Discovery Village Stone Oak primarily stands out because of our quality of care. Our compassionate caregivers aren't just committed to helping with a wide range of daily care tasks. They're also excited to get to know residents on a personal level and meet their needs with empathy and kindness.
Crafting a customized care plan is a major component of this. Before a new resident moves into the community, one of our caregivers will:
- Discuss the challenges the new resident faces with them
- Talk with the resident's family about these challenges
- Ask what tasks the resident can do independently
- Take careful notes on all of the information conveyed
- Make a personally tailored care plan that accommodates all the resident's needs
These plans are adaptable. As your loved one's needs shift, so will the care outlined in their plan. Our team will keep families informed every step of the way so you can have peace of mind regarding your loved one's care.
Comfortable Apartments
We're also proud to offer the best-appointed senior living San Antonio has to offer.
Resort-style apartments are made for privacy. Your loved one will always have a home to retreat after an exciting day filled with the joy and friendship that come with community events.
Seniors and families can choose between one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments.
Regardless of your floor plan, some of the best apartment features that our residents enjoy include:
- Comfortable beds and furniture
- Personal temperature control
- Pet-friendly amenities
- A kitchen/kitchenette with several different appliances

Your loved one's precise layout will depend on the specific floor plan you choose. Make sure to ask to see these apartments during your community tour!

Discovery Village Stone Oak also offers many different community amenities for residents to enjoy. Some include:
- Game and card rooms

All of these services help seniors feel at home within community walls. They offer space to relax with friends and take life day by day.
Delicious food and cognition-boosting activities are an added bonus!
Events and Activities
Many seniors are reluctant to enter an assisted living community because they fear losing independence. However, the best San Antonio community prides itself on ensuring that seniors have the autonomy to choose what they want to do each day.
There are a lot of activity and event options. Some include:
- Nutrition and wellness programs to boost overall lifestyle
- Game nights
- Bingo
- Movie screenings
- Themed parties
- Outdoor walks
- Crafting workshops
- Gardening excursions
- Yoga
- Meditation
- Water aerobics
- Live musical performances
- Guest lectures and workshops
With so many possibilities to choose from, seniors are certain to find something they enjoy. They get to make the final decision about their daily activities and what events to attend. Ultimately, this provides residents with a sense of control.
A Sense of Community
When seniors live in a resort-style community, they have ample opportunities to become friends with neighbors.
It's easy to meet community members with the same interests since there is a wide range of activities and events. When two people go to a book club, for example, they both already love literature and can bond over it instantly!
Then, once the activity is over, the robust amenities of Discovery Village Stone Oak make it easy to spend time together. There are a lot of areas to share a meal or spend time together right outside residents' doors.
This is especially important because the CDC reports that loneliness increases the risk of:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Cognitive decline, including dementia
- Heart problems
- Strokes
- Type 2 diabetes
Since older adults are more at risk of isolation, it's important to choose a senior living community that nips it in the bud. The programs and amenities at Discovery Village Stone Oak work wonders to help seniors thrive on connection.
