    This is the place. My 93yo mother broke her arm and had to go from the hospital into rehab. I…read morechose this facility because God is good to me and led me here! This will be a long review! Driving into the complex there is a gate guard so you have to have a specific purpose or appointment to even enter the premises. As you walk into The Mission, which is the building where my mother is, there are more security measures in place. The doors are always locked and opened by ringing reception. Then you must stop at reception and sign in electronically so you can be issued a pass. You know what there isn't!?! Adult diaper smell! Hospital smell! Old people smell!!! It is set up beautifully with separate halls dedicated to different attend to different issues. The level of care is second to none. EVERYONE is kind and pleasant. I have seen more humanity and patience here than ever before in my life. The level of dignity they treat the patients with is heartwarming. Their attention to detail is such a welcome quality... there are not enough wonderful adjectives to describe my experience with my mother here. I know there is independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and rehab here.. I think they also offer palliative and hospice care. If you have a loved one that you find yourself needing help with, I highly recommend this facility!!!

    This facility offers all levels of care with the option of buying-in or renting. I lived there for…read more5-1/2 years and moved out recently after buying-in. I really thought this was the place I would live the rest of my life. I learned about Blue Skies in 2015 and compared it to other similar communities. Blue Skies remained on the top of my list over time. There are several things that prospective residents must consider before committing to signing a contract. The organization's business/finance practices are not at all good. Poor business practices include lack of transparency to residents regarding pricing of apartments/homes (it is a secret), and lack of coordination between various departments when moving in or out. In my case, I requested and was allowed an in-house move to a different apartment. I did have access to the "secret" apartment price list and assumed I would be paying the listed price for my new apartment. Imagine my surprise, after spending $2000 for a move, and just over a month AFTER my move, I find out the price of my new apartment is $257/mo MORE than what is listed on the price list. I never received any documentation before or during the move that informed me of the new rent rate - a violation of the contract that states a resident must be informed of any rent increase in writing at least 30 days prior to the new rate taking effect. Unfortunately for me, I did sign a lease addendum that showed the new price. PLEASE - do not do what I did! I almost didn't sign the addendum because the rent amount was much higher than I anticipated. I should have consulted an attorney then. I did do that later and found out that I should not have signed the addendum because I was never informed in writing of the new rent price. Also, there is significant financial mismanagement of resident accounts. I received 2 outrageous debits on a monthly statement. It was impossible to speak to or email an individual in the Finance Department to discuss my concerns. My voicemails went unreturned and emails never received a response necessitating my going to the assistant resident director for help. An issue regarding a $1369 erroneous charge was corrected, but only after the assistant resident director contacted the Finance Department - where he received an immediate pick-up of his phone call. Additionally, I had to confirm it was, in fact, an erroneous charge after the person from Finance asked: "Is she sure this is incorrect?" I was livid! The assumption from this Finance Department is that every entry they make on a resident's statement is correct, and it's up to the resident to prove them wrong. Currently, I am in the midst of attempting to get a refund of MY money for an incorrect rent overcharge for November 2025. Despite disputing the amount of this debit via my bank, Blue Skies Finance states that I approved the amount. I DID NOT! Because of their response to the bank stating this, my bank closed the dispute. I'm currently exploring other options for getting this corrected. And just know that rent money is not all the money they actually owe me. Please, just be VERY CAREFUL if you decide on Blue Skies as your next home. Look at other continuing care communities in the San Antonio area. There are also very nice 55+ communities in the area, with more being built. Blue Skies prices are the most expensive, or close to it.

    My mother was encouraged to come to this facility to recover after knee surgery. She was told she…read morewould get excellent care here and that there were nothing but strong reviews. We didn't have that experience at all. The rooms were small and shared. My mother's roommate said that she had been waiting for batteries for her tv remote for 4 hours and that the tv was stuck on sports and on a high volume. She was still waiting for a walker as she had already been there for a couple of days and had asked for bedrails but they would not be there for a few more days. She also mentioned she had been waiting for hours for pain meds. When my mother asked about bed rails they also said it would be three days before she would have them. Upon arrival in her room there was a pair of dirty socks on the nightstand and a nebulizer that had a used mask and medication. We pointed it out to the staff and they shrugged and left them where they were found. My mother was in pain and we asked about medication. They offered Tylenol around 7pm and we had to request an ice pack for her knee. We asked about her evening meds and they said they hadn't received anything- we were concerned because my mother is diabetic and has other health conditions that require regular medication. The staff seemed unconcerned and dismissive. We received a call from my mother at 1:30 AM that there were bugs crawling on the walls, the room was hot, and they had not provided her with pain medication or another ice pack. She felt feverish around 3:00AM and we went to the facility and they hesitated letting us in as hours of visitation are only 8am-8pm. They had the nerve to tell my dad that my mom did nothing but complain. We were shocked at the lack of compassion. We felt so sorry for the people who rely on this place for rehabilitation and also for their long term residence. We strongly ask case managers who recommend this place to actually go visit and see where they are sending patients for rehabilitative care.

    This place should be shut down and if you love someone, do not send them here. My mother was…read moretransferred here after having surgery on her leg. The depressing, dirty, dim lit entrance resembles a scene from American Horror Story and the poor service matches that. The first night my mother was there we called the nurse to help change her bed pan. An hour later no one had arrived and my mother was crying from the pain so I had to remove the overfilled pan while some of her urine splashed on me. When the nurse finally arrived I told her we didn't need her anymore since I did it myself and she rolled her eyes with a deep "UGH" and left the room. The attitude from the staff is astonishing. It's hard enough to have a loved one suffering while you worry about their well being but dealing with unprofessional health care workers who clearly hate their jobs and are constantly annoyed when you ask for help only adds to your stress. The food was also horrendous. When I showed them the pictures of the inedible food they served, they asked ME what it was. The dietician told me that the food was "standard" and when I asked her if she would eat it, she wouldn't respond. When I finally found a wonderful facility for my mother, Sonterra lied about submitting her paperwork which delayed the process. These people are liars who only care about insurance money and would rather drug their patients to stay in bed all day so they don't have to work than actually treat or care for their patients. I've told my mother's doctors to never recommend this facility to anyone and have also been alerting my friends and family in San Antonio to avoid this place at all costs.

    Sonterra Health Center (SHC) shows a genuine interest in our loved one. They care about the family…read moreunit and make every effort to connect with the families to ensure our loved one's needs are met as quickly as possible for their long term health needs. The staff attends to matters that concern their patients and work tirelessly to assist their patients in bettering situations as they arise. For this we are greatly appreciative. Quality of care starts from the top down from professional administration to the outstanding nursing staff to physical/occupational therapies, cleaning, maintenance and reception. Each skill attends to the patients with respect and dignity as if they were their relatives (the kind you love). All levels of the SHC have touched us personally with their abilities and they go the extra mile to make my brother's experience a positive one. As I said, the office experience we've had started with administration, VA in house support, reception and each category work well together to make the entire process as smooth as possible. Each of the skills work in tandem with their counterparts, the patients and families to make SHC a welcome and pleasing experience for our loved ones. If I am to be honest, there is one area that needs improvement and that is the food system. A primary thought is that of the nutritional requirements of the patients like my brother being a diabetic. I see very little initiative in maintaining a consistent diabetic diet per CDC guidelines. Additionally, I'm a high proponent of management awareness of what the "customers" i.e., patients are eating to see if quality changes should be made in an effort to make life better on a daily basis. As stated earlier, I/we consider all the major branches of staff at SHC are exceptional and the food part could do better to make SHC an all around exceptional center for its patients. Kudos to the following staff members in no particular order: Josh (Admin), Kendra, Candace, Tony Bass, Val, Maria, Angie, Mica, Gloria, Christina, Jennifer, Pearl, Jackie, Juan, Kimberly, Miriam, Cole, Michael, Matthew, Jonathan, Kiaria (Reception), LaRanda, Stephanie, Casey, Maria, Wanda, Alex, Josh (Maintenance), Charles and Steven Keep up the good work SHC, we appreciate you!

My wife's grandmother smells nice. There are nurses constantly checking on her and they are very informative. My wife and my Mother in law asked me to sit in with them for a meeting they have every three months. I did not speak much. I just listened to the nurse and the head administrator explain how things were going with her grandmother. Medications she's taking, her progress, etc. I am relieved. My wife had been stressing about finding a good place for her grandmother. So if she's stressed, well all the husbands know, than I'm stressed. Lol. Anyway, this place is full of life. I started to take pictures, but I was not allowed to take pictures of the residents, I was told by a nurse, but they had no problem with me taking pictures of anything else. It was for the protection of the residents, which I totally understand. Good for them, protecting the identity of the residents. Everyone there seems so happy. They even have a beauty salon in the home!!! They have activities and they encourage the residents to do whatever they want. They don't force them, they let them go at there own pace. I am relieved. When I saw grandma sleeping, snoring, lol, I knew everything was going to be alright. Oh and I asked some questions about employment tenure. Almost all of the workers there have been working for the nursing home for 10 years+! That's a great sign, because you don't stay at a job that long if your not happy. Thank you for taking care of our grandmother.

During her time there, there were long stretches where no one checked on her unless we went to the nurses' station ourselves. She was left waiting for help, and it often felt like she was an afterthought instead of a person who needed regular attention. Losing her is already hard, but knowing she spent her final days feeling ignored hurts even more.

The nursing staff is Overstretched with being assigned too many patients and all are recovering from major surgery. Your loved one will have to wait for meds and if the Doctor hasn't ordered stronger meds all they will give you is weak Tylenol. When we checked in the nurses assistant were trying to pull my mom off the transport chair so the guy could leave. When I came in is when they finally put on the gate belt and the walker so she can steady herself. They will often forget to put on the gate belt. There are no hand rails on the beds, to use to prop yourself up. , our room was to have a directory and it took them 3 days before we received one. . The fridge in the room did not cool, I had to ask for a lamp from an empty room, and since I was staying with my mom, they offered me a cot but took them 2 days to find one. The therapy is to be 7 days a week both OT and PT. After the first evaluation. We were told the next day my mom would have one therapy in spite of their policy showing that it's two. Today. 12/22 she received zero therapy. When I called the director of therapy ( A PTA not a PT) he kept insinuating that I was lying, my mom was lying and that she was scheduled for therapy with Keisha. When I asked how he was planing to make up the difference for this miss, he kept insisting that he had my mom on the schedule continuously interrupting me and never apologizing , still continuing to defend his staff also while mentioning that he was having dinner with his son. When the previous day he mentioned to call him day or night. This is stating to be a resort of world class lies and 0 empathy for the patients they serve. Skip this and try to get your loved ones in acute care.

She was there for rehabilitation due to a fall that caused several fractures. Within three hours her blood sugar had spiked to over 400 (I was monitoring it on my own device). I had to make 3 phone calls before someone addressed it. Also she fell while trying to get up to go to the bathroom because nobody answered the call button to take her there. When they called me to tell me she had fallen their story was she was looking for the remote. She was transported back to the hospital where she spent another 5 days!!! Upon arrival to Westover Hills Rehabilitation her bed was not made. She was not given any instructions as to where the bathroom was or where the call button was, we had to provide her with that information. There were mats on the floor that I was told was for her Neighbor that were all around her bed. Do yourself a favor. Find a better facility. If you care about your person at all. Victor was very quick to answer my calls when we were a prospect. Once my parent was admitted and there was an issue I cannot get a returned call from him. It appears he is always away from his desk or out of the office. I did get a call from a director of nursing (3 days later) who was not able to answer or address any of my concerns because she said she was just on her cell phone and did not have access to her computer. Why would a director of nursing make a phone call regarding patient concerns without having access to the patient's file? Please keep in mind that they did not initiate this call, I made several phone calls to them. I'm still waiting for them to call to see how my mother is doing. I won't hold my breath.
