Morningside Ministries' Response to COVID-19: June 11, 2020 Update

In adherence to the state mandate that requires all senior living communities be tested for COVID-19, we are pleased to inform you that the Skilled Nursing residents and staff of our Meadows campus tested negative for the virus. The Skilled Nursing staff and residents of our Menger Springs campus was tested this past weekend and we are still waiting on the results.

In spite of the negative test results, we continue to implement COVID-19 protocols at both of our communities under the guidance of the CDC, the Texas Department of Health and Human services, as well as local health agencies. With that being said, our visitation restrictions, along with the mandatory use of face masks at our communities remains enforced in an abundance of caution for the safety and well-being of Morningside residents.

We remain cautious in loosening restrictions around our communities and continue to adhere to state and local guidelines while also being mindful of rising cases in Texas. However, our Executive Team has strategically begun working within health and safety guidelines to create a potential step-by-step plan for relaxing restrictions at our communities. Should any changes occur in our rules and regulations regarding COVID-19, you will be promptly notified.

Thank you, be safe and God bless!

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!
