San Antonio has seen a real boom in new residents over the age of 65 in the last few years. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population aged 65 and over rose 11.7% in 2024. And we can totally see why, it's a great place to live!
One of the biggest reasons for this sudden increase is the great options for senior living in San Antonio, Texas.
Finding the right community can make a huge difference as you move towards these later years in life. You want to feel at home wherever you are while still having a lot of fun every day. Discovery Village Stone Oak checks all of those boxes and more. Take a look at all the benefits you can expect!
One of the hardest parts about aging is all of the change that comes. Many seniors find it hard to leave the homes they've loved and built throughout their lives.
No one wants to spend their time in a place that feels sterile and boring.
That's why our home-like apartments are the perfect transition space. Each apartment is designed to feel comfortable, beautiful, and homey. All while creating a safe, functional space as well. These spaces help seniors continue to feel as independent as possible.
The best part about living in one of these amazing San Antonio retirement communities is you're not responsible for the upkeep!
Instead of spending all your extra time working on house projects and cleaning, you can leave it to the pros. Each community has a housekeeping team that manages all of the apartments. Each week they'll come in and make sure your apartment is all taken care of.
You'll never have to worry about trying to manage all the details of running a home again!
Not only do residents not have to worry about cleaning, they don't have to cook either! Dining services are a huge benefit of senior living.
Each resident has access to the two Sensations dining rooms three times a day. The chefs create exciting new menus that focus on nutrition as well as fresh flavors.
Residents also have in-apartment kitchens so they can cook on the days when they feel like it. It's truly the best of both worlds!
Before seniors start to look into Texas senior care they may worry that they'll be stuck on site forever. But that's luckily not the case!
These communities are all in close proximity to local amenities including:
This close proximity means it's easy to make small outings regularly. It also makes it easy for visitors to explore your community with you as well.
There are all kinds of assisted living options across the country. Some may even have great amenities to offer but are in places without a great climate.
San Antonio retirement communities get to enjoy beautiful weather year-round. The temperature never dips too low to where it's hard to be outside. This makes it a great place to take walks, eat outside, and enjoy nature.
A great climate also helps lower the risk for seasonal illnesses which can be so hard on an aging body.
Many aging seniors worry about not being able to be as social once they move into senior living in San Antonio, Texas. But when you choose the right community, you'll have an endless supply of planned activities to go to.
If you want it to, your calendar can be full every day with all kinds of events. You can look forward to things like:
These become great opportunities to stay active and create close connections. And what's better in life than that?
An activity that everyone can agree is critical for this time of life is exercise. However, too many seniors make it a low priority because of limited mobility. And that only leads to more limitations and problems.
Group exercise classes through the community are designed with safety in mind. Each instructor has experience designing programs that help to build strength. And best of all, residents don't have to go anywhere to get their workout in!
Simply moving each day can make a huge difference in so many areas!
Probably the most helpful of all the senior living amenities has to be the express concierge. This is kind of like a helpful assistant for the entire community.
The concierge will help residents make reservations for shows, restaurants, or other events. They can also make small orders and arrangements.
This helper will even make your move to the community smoother. They can help you schedule your movers and disconnect your house services. Help from a concierge makes the transition even easier.
Any transition in life can be stressful and overwhelming. It's amplified when you're leaving your sense of security with your friends and neighbors. The right new home will ease those worries immediately with a sense of community.
Feeling like you belong and have strong relationships is key to happiness. The communities know this and make a big effort to create a space that encourages those things. Every member has an opportunity to find their place!
