In my opinion this is a very comfortable place to live. Mgmt & staff seem to have a congenial relationship. And both of them are gracious & thoughtful to us. Even the chefs & kitchen staff listen to our comments & suggestions & try to be helpful. Accidents are inevitable but when hey happen the staff assures us that its all okay and in no time they have it all cleaned up with no complaint. In addition to all that we can wear what we want and eat our bacon with our fingers!!! Again, in my opinion this is a very safe place be because mgmt is on of everything.... Read more

About the facility Gemstone at Bulverde

Bulverde Assisted Living is the best choice for older adults who value their independence but need assistance with daily life activities. If you or your loved one needs help with medication management, bathing, and dressing. Our assisted living community offers attentive professional and certified staff 24 hours a day.

Older adults who do not want the burden of cooking, cleaning, laundry, or home maintenance, but do not need nursing care can live here at Bulverde Assisted Living. We provide that little help throughout the day! Services provided include meals, housekeeping, laundry and other tasks that may be challenging.

The care and thoughtfulness of this facility's build and design is evident when visiting us at Bulverde Assisted Living. Creating a familial environment, where residents feel comfortable was our main goal. The Texas rustic design has many comfortable seating areas for visitors and residents to enjoy. Watch the world go by, play games, do a puzzle, or just visit with friends and family while living a purposeful and engaging life.

There are two different apartment floor plans to choose from. Residents are able to bring furniture and other personal effects to make it feel more like home.

Aside from providing care and assistance...

This has truly been the most remarkable experience you could ever for from them helping with the move in and making the move as effortless as possible. To being available when we need them the most. They have gone above and beyond with my moms care. They make sure she feels right at home all the time. Even when the days for he, they make sure that she is in good hands and well taken care of. This place has truly been remarkable in everything and my mom could not be happier to be here. She enjoys the activities but especially happy with her new friends

Best place ever!

My mother has been at BAL for a year and has never been happier. I have not met one staff member who isn’t caring and attentive. It’s a small facility, so every staff member knows every resident well and makes sure they are taken care of 24/7. My mother is severely hearing impaired, almost blind, and uses a walker. The staff go out of their way to make sure that she feels safe and reassured. Staff are wonderful about communicating with family members, so I always know what’s going on. I never worry about my mother, even when I am out of town. The place is clean and bright, modern but cozy. Meals are good, and there are several activities throughout the week to enhance socialization, creativity, physical fitness, learning, etc. The location in the hill country is beautiful and peaceful. It is one story with front and back porches. As a geriatric psychologist who has worked in several long-term care facilities, I truly consider this place a gem. My sisters and I are so grateful for BAL!

Love, Love BAL!

From the moment we toured this facility, we knew this is where Mom needed to be. Open and cheerful surroundings, friendly staff, super clean, and prompt help makes this the place to be for our mother. The administrator and social worker are on top of things. It's a great place!

My dad has loved living at the Bulverde Assisted Living. The staff and management have been top notch! Today we and Dad had an over-the-top experience. {name removed} cleaned my dad's room. There is no comparison in the quality of cleaning he provided. Prior it was certainly adequate. But to know the upmost sanitary, cleanliness has been achieved.
