If you are considering placing a loved one in Landon Ridge's Pathways Memory Care and are unable to…read morebe present every day, there are some important things you should know from our personal experience. My father was a resident in Pathways from October until his passing in May. He was only 63 years old. During his time there, we encountered repeated and deeply concerning issues that other families also experienced. 1. Financial Mismanagement Despite repeated requests, we were never provided invoices during my father's stay. Charges frequently increased without explanation, and management was consistently unresponsive to emails and phone calls. We at one point were told we owe thousands of dollars without ever knowing why. Yet after their audit, it was confirmed that we did overpay by thousands of dollars--yet we still lack full transparency or assurance that all overpayments have been identified and reimbursed. We never figured out what was going on. 2. Medication Misuse and Chemical Restraint We witnessed multiple incidents of medication errors, including staff administering the wrong medications during my father's panic attacks--sometimes giving him medications meant for other residents. Even more alarming, there were repeated reports among families of chemical restraint practices, which are illegal in the state of Texas. We are one of those families. Families were often told their loved ones were "aggressive" and required additional medications or private caregivers--an added, unexpected financial and emotional burden. We were part of a family council where these issues were openly and frequently discussed by multiple parties. 3. Living Conditions The condition of my father's room was unacceptable. Food would be left on the floor, his incontinence accidents were not cleaned up in a timely manner, and the room was consistently dirty with sticky floors, gnats, and flies. This was not an isolated occurrence. We had to clean his room every day. 4. Falls and Neglect Falls often went unnoticed and undocumented. If not for the camera we installed in his room, my father could have remained on the floor for hours after some of his falls. I had to visit at night on multiple occasions to address why he was not dressed, not medicated, or lying on the floor without assistance. 5. COVID-19 Mismanagement During the height of the pandemic, Landon Ridge failed to report COVID-19 cases to the state as mandated. My father, among others, contracted COVID during this time and his health rapidly declined thereafter. Several residents, including ours, suffered serious falls linked to post-COVID complications such as vertigo, and there was no increase in supervision despite known fall risks. 6. Retaliation and Administrative Negligence There is a clear pattern of retaliation from management. Families who raise concerns often report decreased attentiveness to their loved ones' care. In our case, the head of nursing barred our hospice nurse from seeing my father on the very day he was transitioning--reportedly "due to a personal grudge." We were never consulted or informed of this decision, which left us blindsided during an already devastating time. This individual has also been known to expel families from the facility with little or no warning, particularly those who raise concerns or question care practices. Families are advised to have a backup plan if they advocate for their loved ones. Families have reported to us that they were given as little as five hours to vacate. 7. Corporate Indifference When we escalated our concerns to corporate management in Fort Worth, we were dismissed. I was told, with little professionalism, that the reported issues "never happened" and "couldn't happen." Days later, corporate staff arrived at the facility and openly criticized me to other staff members. If you are considering Landon Ridge Pathways for your loved one, please do your due diligence. Many families who experienced similar issues are unable to speak publicly but wish they could. If you would like clarification or more information, I am open to sharing our experience. Families deserve transparency, safety, and respect. We did not receive that at Landon Ridge.

Our 82 year old aunt, who is a widow, recently moved to San Antonio to be near her 91 year old…read morebrother. Initially she selected a one bedroom amazing Landon Ridge Alamo Ranch Assisted Living & Memory Care apartment community. This review focuses on this assisted living facility and its absolutely amazing staff. First off, you will know that you have been blessed or have received amazing good fortune if you meet and work with the Sales & Marketing Director, Ms. Lauren De La Rosa! Ask for her by name if you go visit. Lauren is the kind of person, that just genuinely cares about everyone! She is gifted with the ability to really listen and understand your concerns and needs. Lauren goes well above and beyond all expectations. In example, during our meet and greet conversation I vented a little about several challenges we were having with other entities and organizations related to our aunts new medical challenges. Things which were absolutely not related to Lauren's position at Landon Ridge. Our meeting concluded, and my wife and I left, feeling very happy and grateful to have found Landon Ridge. Lauren shocked us a few hours later, when she called us after her work day, to let us know that she had done some research online related to the unrelated challenges I had mentioned to her earlier! She explained what calls she had made on our behalf and also what resources she had found for us online. She then sent us an organized, easy to understand summary via text. The information which Lauren provided would have taken us days to find ourselves, that is, if we were even able to find it! I can not emphasize enough what an amazing human being Lauren is and what an ASSET TO LANDON RIDGE she is. By the time our aunt moved in, everyone on staff made a genuine effort to go meet her, and to let her know they were always ready to assist her in any way. Our aunt said she needed to have her personal TV and cable system put up, and literally it was done first thing the following morning! The staff made sure to introduce our aunt to the long time residents that liked helping new residents transition into assisted living, and from day one she had lunch buddies, and our aunt was smiling and ecstatic! Tragically the pre-move in medical results have now come in and we have discovered that our aunt has a progressive, condition which will require full time medical services, well beyond any assisted living facilities scope. This is tragic on a physical health basis for our aunt, and also on an emotional basis because she absolutely loves the Landon Ridge community! It is such a special place, that our suggestion, for anyone in the San Antonio area, who is able to choose an assisted living facility, is please go meet Lauren, take a tour through the facility, (it is more like a resort than a facility), stop and chit chat with the residents you see, and you will find that it is absolutely the place to be. The Executive Director of the facility is Madison Parker, and she runs an amazing operation! Every time we visited Landon Ridge, Madison was actively engaging with employees and residents throughout the facility. She is an executive who leads by example, and who is always easily found if you need to speak with her. At one point, I spoke with one of the staff members that distribute medications, and asked her "off the record" if she liked working at Landon Ridge and under Madison. This staff member literally lit up with a giant genuine smile and said she loved working there and that Madison was amazing. I later asked another staff member the same question, and he also immediately lit up and smiled confirming that it is great group to work with. Clearly, Landon Ridge Alamo Ranch Assisted Living & Memory care have made a commitment to amazing resident service, and they invest in quality staff and leadership.

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.

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!!!

My grandmother doesn't have much that she can enjoy anymore but one of the few things she can enjoy is great food. The dining room is very inconsistent, and has a very high turnover rate. Not only is their food quality not resort style like they advertise but what they do cook- you better hurry- because they don't make enough of it. Another area that could use some addressing is the planning of Sunday meals (many families) and holidays... often the residents who don't have family come get left with scraps if they're not down there early enough to fight the crowd. There should be a separate eating area or food saved aside to guarantee they get the SAME meal that was advertised on the menu.

The food is less than mediocre and I was constantly bringing my mom food. Management is lacking in skills on how to handle a senior living facility. I was constantly bringing issues within the facility to managements attention, who I felt did not care.

This is such a wonderful place. My wife found this place after long hours, days, of researching…read more This place is a complete change from where she was staying before. The rooms are clean. 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.

We have even had several meetings and conversations with the Administration (many times with no response). We would like to know if anyone has experienced issues with any of the following: getting responses from administration ; administering of medications, such as overdosing, not being given on schedule, or/as prescribed ; making changes to Physicians Orders (meds, changing original prescribing doctors, changing number of refills as prescribed by original doctors) without notifying family and original prescribing dr's. ; the Emergency Call Wireless Pendent not working for extended periods of time and on many occasions a lack of adequate response time ; ordering of prescription drugs and over the counter meds without family approval ; lack of adequate staffing to provide the services and care they say are included in the rental charges and level of care fees ; being overcharged and or not responding to billing questions and questions regarding auto withdrawals & checks from Dad's bank ; getting resident, who they knew could not see, to sign document(s) ; experience with Licensed Nurse not being on call 24/7 (as stated in literature provided) to ensure oversight of issues at night and weekends if needed. These are just a few of the concerns we have had. In my opinion, the techs try their best but the understaffing and lack of scheduling, availability and support from the administration is pathetic.

Hi:) I'm a culinary alumni graduate and my fiancé worked for this place for a day longer than most…read morenew hires according to the "manager". This living facility is serving; breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the members of this community. They don't get to see behind a kitchen they are just served up just like any other restaurant which means that they are to trust the people who feed them THREE times a day. Let me ask you a question. Would you want your high at risk loved one to be put in a facility that uses the WORST selection of fresh ingredients? Or how about bones and cartilage in your enchiladas for someone who has a hard time chewing or swallowing their meals. EVEN THOUGH they are required to be serving "dietary mechanical" Well, that's what this place sees as their standard and how much they care for your family and staff. I'm not a professional on diet planning considering I trained for only a year and a half but I do know that patients want a little more than 2% milk in their potatoes to be "a healthier option". There's lots more healthier options such as the good ol "cauliflower mash" you CAN make food nutritious and taste decent it's what good chefs do. My fiancé and I made my mother a vegan thanksgiving this year for the whole family. Hence I said "whole family" meaning the most important job for thanksgiving (cooking badass food) was done with NO DAIRY NO EGGS NO CHEESE NO BUTTER. And everyone In my family didn't even know. With all this information, My fiancé was treated horribly coming on board to this facility with nothing but pride, bad cooking techniques, dangerous cooking techniques, zero flavor, expected him to remember everyone's specific dietary needs within the first few training days. I was told by my fiancé from the "manager" of this facility that most new hires leave after the first day or so. Now you know why. It's you. It's management. It's the fact you have no dietary training OR management training and if you have it doesn't show. Just because you stay longer somewhere than someone else doesn't mean you can treat them with no respect, kindness, patience or compassion. Hope this finds y'all well:) have a wonderful rest of your day.

The residents are cheerful and appreciative, not because of my talents but because of their care. I have many snapshots of the caregivers and they are wonderful ones--staff who are kind, gentle and helpful both to me and especially their residents. Most importantly, they spend time talking with them. They know their personal stories and recollections. Of course these qualities of respect for the resident do not come naturally for most, but the tone is set by the director, Danielle Wilson. She is out there on the floor interacting with the residents, though her schedule makes many demands on her. She is always planning and trying to build a stimulating environment.
