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...

[name removed] and [name removed] are so sweet.
Every time I call, I talk to [name removed] or [name removed] and we always have great conversations and work so well together. They’re super sweet and care so much. There’s never any issues and if there is a concern then we work together to figure out a solution.

A lovely staff and a great place
When I brought my family member, I was surprised at how quaint the place was. When I met with the staff, they were all I would hope for in people taking care of my family. The rooms are spacious and clean and the community areas are beautiful and cozy. They do so much for their residents and my dad. Everytime I visit, I always leave happy with the level of care. Their med techs are an amazing group and care so much about their residents. I fully recommend this place to anyone who wants to take their family to somewhere that treats them like family.

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.

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!

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Texas regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Texas regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Gemstone at Bulverde 10 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score.
