Stone Oak vs. Heartis: Best Memory Care in San Antonio?

Choosing the right senior living community is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make for yourself or your loved one. It’s not just about finding a place to live; it’s about finding a place to belong. A place where comfort, care, and community come together.

At The Landing at Stone Oak, we understand that this decision comes with many questions. What kind of care will your loved one receive? Will they have the support they need to thrive? Will they feel at home?

We also know that families explore multiple options before making their choice. Communities like Heartis San Antonio offer attractive amenities and care services, but what truly sets The Landing at Stone Oak apart?

Let’s explore what makes our community a preferred choice for families seeking exceptional senior living in San Antonio, Texas.

A Location That Brings Comfort and Convenience

When choosing a senior living community, location plays a key role in safety, convenience, and accessibility.

• Proximity to Medical Care: The Landing at Stone Oak is strategically located near top hospitals and rehabilitation centers, ensuring residents have quick access to medical professionals if needed. This brings peace of mind to families knowing their loved ones are never far from care.

• A Purpose-Built Memory Care Community: While some communities, like Heartis San Antonio, offer both Assisted Living (AL) and Memory Care (MC), The Landing at Stone Oak specializes in memory care, providing a dedicated environment where all staff are specifically trained in dementia care.

Why It Matters

For families, knowing that emergency medical care is just minutes away can be a major deciding factor. While Heartis San Antonio offers assisted living alongside memory care, The Landing at Stone Oak provides a secure, structured, and specialized community designed exclusively for memory care residents.

Dining That Feels Like Home

Dining is an essential part of daily life and well-being, and at The Landing at Stone Oak, we take it seriously. We know that great food brings joy, comfort, and a sense of routine, so we focus on fresh, chef-prepared meals that cater to every resident’s wants and needs.

What We Offer:

• Three delicious, chef-prepared meals daily

• An “anytime menu” that allows residents to eat when they want

• Customizable options for dietary restrictions and preferences

• Dining with Dignity program to support residents with special needs

How We Compare

Heartis San Antonio uses a point-based care system, where even small care needs can increase costs. Additionally, while they provide dining services, their focus is more on AL residents. The Landing at Stone Oak provides clear, resident-centered pricing and meal programs designed specifically for memory care residents.

Living Spaces Designed for Comfort and Independence

A home should be comfortable, inviting, and tailored to meet each resident’s needs. That’s why at The Landing at Stone Oak, we offer a variety of floor plans designed to suit different preferences.

Our Floor Plans Include:

• Spacious private suites with modern finishes

• Private bathrooms with in-room showers for dignity and convenience

• A variety of layouts to enhance comfort and accessibility

Heartis San Antonio offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care units, but staff members rotate between both. At The Landing at Stone Oak, all staff are trained and dedicated solely to memory care, ensuring that residents receive consistent, specialized support.

Why It Matters

The right living space makes a world of difference in how a place feels. Our thoughtfully designed environments help residents feel comfortable, secure, and at home from the moment they arrive.

Personalized Care That Evolves With You

One of the biggest concerns families have when choosing senior living is whether their loved one’s needs will be met over time.

Our Approach to Care

At The Landing at Stone Oak, we offer 24-hour nursing care, ensuring residents always have access to trained professionals. This means:

• Residents don’t have to relocate if their care needs change

How We Compare
