Description

About This Community

Modeled to capture the unique culture of San Antonio, this community exudes a sense of history and timeless presence through its thoughtfully designed features. The resident experience begins with a welcoming arrival courtyard, featuring the cooling sounds of a classic water fountain surrounded by native plants. As soft music wafts through the air, a person immediately has a unique sense of place. At the arrival Porte Cochére, a covered loggia escorts the resident past a serene garden courtyard before entering the reception foyer. Once inside, the interior spaces feature a relaxed and sophisticated feel reminiscent of a grand estate where charming rooms become engaging spaces. There is a sense of history, a play of light and pleasant textures.

We offer mild memory care apartments, also known as the “bridge”. Unique to Franklin Park, the bridge apartments offer mild memory care for residents who benefit from person-centered care from licensed staff skilled in the treatment of dementia-related diseases. Mild memory residents are physically able to do many tasks and activities independently but may need some redirection and reminders. “Wander-guard” bracelets are available for loved ones who may be at-risk for exit-seeking and the bracelet will trigger an alarm if they exit the building. Floor plans and features are similar to assisted living apartments and include a designated outdoor courtyard, dining room, living space and pantry.

ACTIVE, FIT, AND HEALTHY – FOR LIFE

We know a big part of enjoying retirement comes from staying active, engaged, and healthy. Because we want to offer our residents a culture focused on the best possible quality of life, we make health and wellness an important part of everyday living.

FIT AT EVERY AGE

We’re proud to offer senior-friendly fitness centers at every one of our communities. Residents can pursue a self-guided, independent fitness program at their own pace, using treadmills, recumbent bikes, and free weights. Our fitness centers make it easy to maintain or improve physical fitness in a casual atmosphere, and offer a fun way to socialize with friends, too.

Come on in, the water’s fine! For those in the mood for a dip, some of our communities also offer swimming pools and swimming-related social and fitness activities, such as water aerobics.

EAT WELL, LIVE WELL

Eating well goes hand in hand with physical fitness, and our chefs make it their mission to serve a variety of healthy options to please the palate and nourish the body.

We believe eating right can be as delicious as it is nutritious. Our meals are created to help our residents meet their dietary fitness and nutrition goals, with special consideration for health concerns such as diabetes, gluten sensitivity, weight management, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

EASY ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE

For non-emergency medical care, we can provide a list of qualified, independent health professionals in the local area, including doctors, nurses, and physicians’ assistants. We can also help schedule an appointment, and even arrange transportation to and from an office visit.

In addition, many of the providers on our list of recommended health professionals will make house calls upon request, so residents can still get the medical help they need.

You don’t have to search far to find the perfect blend of proper nutrition, social and physical activity, and readily available medical care. Choosing a

Franklin Parkcommunity is the smart way for seniors to secure a happier – and healthier – retirement.

We liked Franklin Park Alamo Heights. It was nice and clean. The meal we had was good. We saw people playing card games. They had rooms for watching TV, a library, and a little garden outside.

Our dad is now in Franklin Park Alamo Heights and it's great. It was clean, the staff was friendly, it was very well organized, the tour and everything. They have a dining room, they have full wait staff in the dining room and they have laundry care that they take care of for you. They also have caretakers that work there on the property. The last time that I was there, which was on a Wednesday, they had from 4:00-5:00 happy hour. And they have somebody come in for karaoke, and they sing and enjoy a small concert in the dining room.

Franklin Park Alamo Heights has a number of residential apartments, assisted living rooms, and memory care ones. It's a new facility and some of it is not occupied yet. It's a lovely establishment and it's in a well-established neighborhood. There are a lot of old stately homes and a lot of trees around the area. There's a fair number of areas that you can go to within the establishment. We chose it because their apartments are bigger than most. They have wood shops, some people take walks, and they have activities for people who are not physically active. They watch movies, go swimming, there are exercise areas, a library, and a reading area available to all three of the units. Our apartment has a balcony that overlooks the city to the south. It's on the fourth floor and it's very nice in that we have a very good view. On some days, depending on the time of the year, you can see the skyline of Downtown San Antonio or the quarry area, which has now become a mall and a golf course. We chose it because we thought it had virtually all of the things that we were very interested in. The staff was very courteous and very helpful. They have buses and they haul the residents to and from Downtown, the parks, and the grocery stores. They also have covered and indoor parking.

Franklin Park Alamo Heights was beautiful, but they were way overpriced. The apartment looked regular, but it was nice. It's a brand-new facility, only two years old. The staff was nice and very informative about everything. The dining area was very nice and looked like a five-star hotel.

Franklin Park Alamo Heights was really nice, brand-new, and the staff was really nice. They have a therapy dog there which I thought was really cool. I was there for dinner, their food looked really good, and their menus were really nice and in a menu book. They have lots of options on the a la carte menu if they don't want what's on the menu for dinner. Their cleaning staff was super helpful, and they have lots of amenities and activities. I spoke to an older gentleman and he likes living there. The rooms were decently sized for the price, which was really cool. They were really nice.
