About the project
Morningside Ministries is a nonprofit organization that started in 1959, providing retirement communities to the San Antonio area.
Morningside at Menger Springs opened in 2004 and has developed to offer independent living, assisted living, transitional care, memory care, long-term care and home health care.
Marketing Director Brooke Craig said the expansion, called The Vistas, will focus on adding independent living units.
This expansion follows a 2023 expansion, which added 74 terrace homes. Craig said these homes are ready to move in by February, and only four homes remain available.
Due to the success of the terrace home expansion, Morningside Ministries saw a need for additional units.
“The demand is so great in this area, and we see so many people looking to be closer to their family here in Boerne,” Craig said.
Craig said the new units are planned to be larger than other units in the community, having an average square footage being 1,836, with a range from 1,477 to 2,450 square feet. The expansion is being constructed by Metropolitan Construction.
“The downsizing process can be really overwhelming for many, so we are offering these larger options,” Craig said.
Looking ahead
While the expansion is not planned to be open for at least two years, Morningside Ministries plans on hosting information sessions for individuals interested in the community.
Information sessions are planned for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 28 and Oct. 30. Additional information on registration for the sessions can be found here.
