The Lodge at Leon Springs

The Lodge at Leon Springs truly is an Oasis in the heart of the NW Dominion, Leon Springs, Boerne Stage area. Located about one half mile west of IH-10E. It's hard to believe that a tranquil setting still exists so close to all the retail businesses a Senior resident needs. As you turn off Boerne Stage Road to the entrance , the signage is clearly marked. Drive a quarter mile and the trappings of busy San Antonio Metro area fall away as if you had suddenly reached that far away vacation spot that is so peaceful to the senses. There is a lake that is fed from the origin spring of Leon Springs. There are beautiful ancient trees that surround the entire property, ducks, fish, deer, lots of wildlife in the area to make it really feel like a resort. But it is not, it's an Assisted Living facility unlike any other I've ever seen. Owner Steve Kitchens has built Bungalow homes surrounding the lake, to accommodate the space needs of couples who want to live in assisted living but in an environment where they still are autonomous. There is also a main house with homelike private rooms, attended to by certified staff. For my wife, Sharyl's case. She is suffers from early onset dementia. This disease became more than I, a retired 33 year Police Officer could handle. When I contacted The Lodge, an appointment was made at our convenience for the Administrator to come to our home to assess my wife, to discern if Sharyl was a candidate for a room inside the main building. Ms. Rebecca Schroeder (Administrator) has wonderful empathy. She is a wealth of information for caregivers, who are struggling with ethical, financial, medical concerns about making the decision to move their loved one in a facility. Rebecca put my overwhelming concerns to rest . I was stressed and depressed. With Mr. Kitchen's tour of facility and Rebecca's assessment the decision that I had to make was easier than I anticipated. From the moment I came on the property, it was a place I would not have guessed to be what it is, secondly, I would live there in a second if I were looking for a place of tranquility, largely unknown within our Metro area. My wife's room is very adequate for her. I was able to move her personal belongings into the room and set them up just as they were at home so as to make her immediately more comfortable.The bathroom in her private room is all I could ever wish for in my own home. The building is quite old, but impeccably maintained and clean like it's a personal home. The Staff, all who are exceptionally cordial are very approachable about any concern or question. You become acquainted with staff of every sort very quickly. They have all actually become friends, partners in the excellent and loving care of my family member. Finally, and for me, one of the best comments I can make. I moved Sharyl in in October 2018. When THANKSGIVING rolled around the next month, I was pleasantly surprised by an invitation to Family and Friends to attend a traditional celebration. The food was absolutely one of the very best Thanksgiving dinners I've had in my 68 years of life. Mom would not like hearing this, but it was better than my Mother's cooking. The food I see served everyday to my wife when I visit looks, smells and is presented in a family style environment where residents who have become well acquainted enjoy their meals with their co-residents. The Lodge is pet friendly. I take my dog almost every time I go. Some residents actually have their family pet living with them. There is not enough good things I can say about this wonderful home away from home that my wife lives at now. The rates are very reasonable. I am Blessed to have found this very home-style setting for her when so many others look corporate, smell antiseptic or foul, and are outrageously priced. 24137 Boerne Stage Road, San Antonio, TX 78255Joseph 'TIM' Reilly

We moved my Mom into her cottage during all this COVID19 mess. Despite ever-changing guidelines and requirements, the staff has been very helpful and accommodating. We chose this facility for the beautiful grounds and cottages. Just a short distance from I10 but it immediately becomes a quiet, country type setting. Would recommend to anyone looking to transition into an Independent/Assisted Living environment.

Ok so Rebecca said hey you dont have to come in, we dont usually hire black people because they dont last. If I could give this 0 stars I would!!
