Mackenzie Manor sits at 5450 Maple Vis in San Antonio, TX, serving as a Department of Aging and Disability-licensed care home that helps older adults who need assisted living and support on a daily basis. The community holds about 10 beds in a medium-sized setting, offering private and semi-private rooms furnished with basic amenities like telephones and furniture, and there are different studio room layouts to pick from which helps folks find what fits them best. The staff's on duty 24 hours a day and can help with all sorts of daily needs-things like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication reminders, insulin or diabetes care, and using a mechanical lift or giving one-person or two-person transfer help when getting in and out of bed or chairs. Mackenzie Manor helps people with different levels of care, so there's assistance for light, medium, and heavy care needs including total care for more complex problems, and staff keeps up with residents' changing needs through ongoing assessments.
Doctors visit every month on site and a nurse is on staff, plus therapists will come by if someone needs a session. A local pharmacy delivers medications, so staying on a medication schedule is easier, and staff also helps with reminders and management. Meals are served one or two times a day, with homemade options to meet all kinds of dietary restrictions, even those for diabetes or allergies, and there's meal preparation and all-day dining so nobody has to worry about food when hungry. The housekeeping and laundry services help keep rooms clean, and folks can use community laundry facilities if they want. Residents have choices for onsite and offsite activities and can enjoy walking paths, gardens, indoor common areas, and community-planned events. The community offers transportation, parking, and move-in coordination, too.
The Manor supports aging in place, so people don't have to move when needs change, and offers respite care for temporary stays and hospice support when needed. There's a separate and fully secured area for memory care, built for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, with special activities and supervised spaces, as well as bracelets with alarms to help prevent wandering. Staff has training to help people with challenging behavior, including those who might act out or be at risk for elopement, and will remind folks with incontinence to use the restroom and help manage bowel or bladder concerns. The building's wheelchair accessible including showers, and offers standby, full, and two-person assistance for transfers when someone needs extra support. Mackenzie Manor gives daily support to residents who want to keep some independence but who also need help, making sure there's always someone to look out for them and to try to meet their needs as best they can.
