Choosing a senior living community like San Antonio’s Blue Skies of Texas is a decision based on your preferences for things like home styles, amenities, and the overall “vibe” of everyday life. We won’t presume to know which factors are highest on your list, but we can give you some insights into what our residents value most about living here
A RICH HISTORY ROOTED IN SERVICE AND CAMARADERIE
Folks who reside at Blue Skies are proud to be a part of a story that began in 1964. And while our community may have been founded as a home for military widows, we’ve expanded to include all retired veterans—as well as vibrant seniors from every career imaginable.
One principle shared by residents and staff alike is service to others. From decorating for the holidays to volunteering with our Resident Council to visiting neighbors in hospice care, we all look out for one another—and that includes helping out during surprise visits from Mother Nature. When winter storm Uri dumped record amounts of snow and ice on Texas, people went out of their way to check in on their neighbors.
A VIBRANT, ENGAGING RETIREMENT COMMUNITY LIFESTYLE LIKE NO OTHER
You’ll hear one familiar refrain from Blue Skies residents: There’s no such thing as a “typical day.” In fact, many folks here say they’re busier than they were before retirement—except that they’re now engaging in activities they love, rather than chores like vacuuming the floor or mowing the lawn.
For Blue Skies residents, every morning is like a blank canvas just waiting to be brought to life. Calendars throughout our two campuses are packed with activities like Zumba, book discussions, and volunteering for worthy causes. Folks can also pursue their passions—and discover new ones—through our dozens of resident-run clubs.
As day turns to evening, folks meet up with friends in one of our restaurants or bistros for fresh, delicious food, fine libations, and lively conversations that often last well into the evening.
INDEPENDENCE NOW, WITH A PLAN FOR FUTURE NEEDS
Forget the myths you may have heard about retirement communities. Blue Skies residents rarely sit still and are constantly exploring the abundant lifestyle programs offered here. Our Wellness Team, for example, helps folks reach—and even surpass—their fitness goals with activities like tai chi, total conditioning, line dancing, and more.
Long-term security and peace of mind are highly regarded and appreciated here as well. Members of our Blue Skies family never have to worry about a disruptive off-site move if their health needs change. That’s because they have priority access to all levels of senior living right here on campus—with some of the best staff-to-resident ratios in the state—without financial surprises. And if they run into unforeseen financial difficulties, our unique charitable mission ensures that our Life Care and Continuing Care residents will always have a place to call home.
TWO CAMPUSES, EACH WITH ITS OWN DYNAMIC PERSONALITY
No two Blue Skies residents are alike, and the same might be said about the luxurious—and customizable—cottages and apartment homes nestled in our two distinctive campuses. From cozy one-bedroom apartments to spacious three-bedroom, two-bath homes featuring garages and manicured lawns, there truly is something for every taste.
Located 13 miles west of downtown San Antonio, Blue Skies East offers urban-style living with spectacular views of the cityscape and countryside. Many apartment homes in the two largest buildings, The Hi-Rise and The Mid-Rise, recently received extensive makeovers as well. Folks here love being close to San Antonio’s world-class stores, parks, restaurants, and entertainment venues. And thanks to our transportation services and planned outings, nobody worries about finding a parking spot.
As for Blue Skies West, what’s not to love? The well-appointed residences here range from spacious apartment homes to single-level homes in a garden or lake setting—all a short walk from social events, fine restaurants, cultural programs, and more. Folks who make their home at our West Campus also love waking up to beautiful views of our sprawling campus and the scenic Texas Hill Country.
SENIOR LIVING CONTRACTS THAT INCLUDE MORE THAN YOU’D EXPECT
We saved this one for last because what many residents value most about life at Blue Skies is, well, the value. Our senior living community in Texas offers two types of contract options—a Life Care Plan or Continuing Care Plan—both of which provide guaranteed priority access to health care services for higher levels of care, should your needs ever change. Both include a Monthly Service Fee that covers, among other things, services that replace tedious tasks like housekeeping, maintenance, and yard work. On select units, Rental Plans are also available, which offer a predictable monthly payment structure.
But that’s just the beginning. Plentiful amenities, an upscale meal plan, live entertainment, and on-site transportation services are also covered by your Monthly Service Fee—including trips to San Antonio’s world-class shopping, cultural, and culinary destinations. To top it all off, Blue Skies will refund 100% of your Entrance Fee if you choose to move out within the first six months. We call this our 100% Happiness Guarantee.
IF YOU VALUE ALL THESE ADVANTAGES, THEN BLUE SKIES MIGHT BE THE PERFECT FIT
Now that you’ve seen what so many other folks value most about life in our San Antonio senior living community, we’d love the opportunity to show you what we stand for—and why we’re the #1 Continuing Care Retirement Community in Texas and #7 in the country, according to Newsweek.
