Morningside Ministries' COVID-19 Update: October 21, 2020

We would like to give a very special thanks to each of you as we continue to work through the challenges brought on by COVID-19. As of today, we are happy to report no new positive COVID-19 cases. And as part of our ongoing effort to combat this pandemic and per state requirements, weekly/monthly COVID-19 testing for Skilled Nursing staff continues to be provided.

Our communities also continue to work within the Texas Health & Human Services Commission visitation guidelines for senior living facilities, in determination to allow you all to see your loved ones. However, please know those rules and regulations are subject to change as the situation continues to evolve. Current visitation opportunities are as follows:

The Menger Springs community in Boerne is hosting visitations at all levels of living. Please continue to follow the guidelines provided to you by the Executive Director.

The Meadows Assisted Living facility is hosting future outdoor and indoor visitations by appointment only, details will be mailed to family members this week. To schedule a visit with your loved one, please email: MeadowsVisitations@mmliving.org or call (210) 731-1204.

Unfortunately, last week’s positive cases at The Meadows Skilled Nursing facility continue to eliminate the possibility of conducting visitations at this time.

Morningside Ministries remains committed to transparency surrounding COVID-19 at our communities, while also respecting the privacy of those involved. We will continue to provide you with weekly updates on our efforts surrounding COVID-19. Thank you for your patience and continued support while we navigate through this challenging situation. Should you have any questions, please contact your respective administrator.

Sincerely,

Morningside Ministries Staff

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!
