Morningside Ministries has been selected to receive the 2016 Excellence in Not-For-Profit Leadership Award from LeadingAge, a national association representing 6,000 non-profit aging services organizations throughout the United States.

The award recognizes Morningside Ministries for its advances in enhancing the dignity and quality of life of older adults, their family members and caregivers with compassionate care throughout its 55 years as a non-profit organization. The award highlights Morningside’s long-time partnership with non-profit organizations Jefferson Outreach and San Antonio OASIS, and the early adoption of the Xenex germ-zapping robot, now found in all three of Morningside’s skilled nursing facilities.

Morningside Ministries was founded as a faith-based, not-for-profit senior living organization in 1961 with the grand opening of Morningside Manor on Babcock Road. Over the last 55 years, the organization has grown from one to three senior living communities serving the greater San Antonio area offering retirement living, assisted living, skilled nursing, rehabilitation services and memory care to senior adults age 55 and older.

“We are deeply honored and humbled to have been selected to receive this award,” said Alvin Loewenberg, who has served as the President and CEO of Morningside Ministries since 1990. “This award is a tribute to our devoted employees and staff members who work so hard to deliver compassionate care to our residents every day.”

Morningside Ministries will formally accept the Excellence in Not-For-Profit Leadership Award during the LeadingAge National Conference in Indianapolis this fall.

Why our residents love us

My parents moved into their Meadows independent living (atrium) apartment almost 2 years ago, from another city. Their (and our) experience here has exceeded our highest hopes. From the compassionate, friendly, helpful staff to the delicious meals, activities, their apartment, amenities, and welcoming residents, we could not have imagined or found a better place for them to be for this season of life! We 5 "kids" are so thankful that they are happy, safe, comfortable, busy, and have made wonderful new friends, both residents and staff. Thank you, MM! It's definitely worth checking out for YOUR parents, too. (Or yourself!)

I learned about Morningside Ministries at Menger Springs when two of my neighbors moved there. Another friend and I frequently drove from our home in Kerrville to visit and play bridge with them. I don't think we ever left that one of us didn't say " I'd like to live here someday." When I realized that "someday" was fast approaching I started visiting retirement communities in several places, including my former home in Colorado where I still had close friends. None of them were as attractive physically as Morningside and none offered as much in the way of programs and services. I chose Morningside for three basic reasons: security, convenience and the sense of a caring community. I have the security of knowing that I will always be cared for, the convenience of having all my needs met in one place and the joy of living in a community where everyone, residents and staff, are considered as family.

My wife and I have been residents in the Independent Living Menger House Apartments at Morningside Ministries at Menger Springs for four years. We chose Menger Springs because of its Hill Country location, excellent and beautiful facilities along with their commitment to personal care and to truly care for those who have cared for so many others by a Not For Profit Christian Corporation. We knew that regardless of what challenges or changes we might meet in the days and years ahead, Menger Springs would be able to provide the care for us. My wife feels so secure here and has the option of participating in so many activities, pursue individual endeavors or to feel free to remain in our apartment. We are so pleased to be residents at Morningside Ministries Menger Springs in beautiful Boerne! I highly recommend it!
