Morningside Ministries' COVID-19 Update: March 10, 2021

We would first like to take this opportunity to thank you all for continuing to follow Morningside and all our happenings surrounding COVID-19. Due to a high-level vaccination rate at our communities amongst residents and staff, and our ability to keep our campuses at a zero-positivity rate, we have decided to discontinue our weekly COVID-19 communication updates. At this time, Morningside has not changed any of our policies surrounding masks or COVID-19 safety protocols. We will continue to assess the situation and follow the guidance of the CDC, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

We are happy to report that all residents and staff at both communities remain COVID-19 free. As part of our ongoing efforts to combat the virus and per state requirements, we continue to provide weekly testing for Skilled Nursing staff. In addition, we remain vigilant in practicing COVID-19 safety precautions at both our communities.

Morningside continues to abide by visitation guidelines for senior living facilities set forth by the Texas Health & Human Services Commission to ensure the best chances for you to see your loved ones. Please note that if any changes to current visitation opportunities occur, your respective community administrator will be communicating those details to you going forward.

Morningside remains committed to transparency surrounding COVID-19 at our communities, while also respecting the privacy of those involved. We would like to thank you all again for your understanding and continued support while we have fervently trudged through this past year. 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!
