Heritage Place Of Boerne

Healthcare and Staff Training

We have a full-time nurse and 2 part-time nurses. We have an unofficial/official doctor's PA, Dr. Stahl from Boerne Family Practice, whose PA specializes in geriatrics and is often here. She has many patients that live here plus a family member of her own. The resident assistants complete training as deemed necessary by both the legal requirements and Five Star expectation. Other staff have varying degrees and certifications. My role is not medical.

Emergency Call System

Our residents have anywhere from 5-7 ways to call us in their rooms, including 4-6 call buttons and a lanyard. We follow all state and federal guidelines to ensure safety and health, especially during contagious illnesses, providing all necessary protective equipment for our staff.

Adjustment and Socialization

We have a welcoming committee to help new residents adjust, typically within 24-48 hours. Our community is very welcoming, aiding in quick adjustment and socialization.

Transportation Services

We offer a van for large groups with a lift for walkers and wheelchairs, and a Lincoln Aviator for individual trips. Each resident is entitled to 2 doctor visit transports a month within the local area.

Dining Experience

Dining is family or restaurant style, with a broad choice of meals and an "always menu" for continuous favorites. Dining together is encouraged for socialization and health, with room dining available for medical needs.

Management and Communication

Issues can be addressed to any of the 6 managers on-site. Residents have counsel meetings for discussing and recommending changes. Communication with families is excellent, facilitated by our community's size and open door policy.

Cost of Living

The cost of living varies, with an average plan of 5k a month, all-inclusive. This is a ballpark figure, not a guarantee.

Accommodations and Policies

Currently, we cannot accommodate respite stays due to full occupancy. We are pet-friendly, with a one-time $500 pet fee. Our waitlist is shorter than usual, currently at a 2-4 week wait.

Vaccinations and Age in Place

Vaccines are given on-site as determined by our nurse. Most residents age in place unless their care needs become too high or they become an elopement risk, with an estimated 80% staying until the end of life.
