Does Morningside Ministries at Menger Springs offer memory care under its Texas license?

Yes. Morningside Ministries at Menger Springs holds HHSC Alzheimer's certificate #104455 covering 52 of its 112 licensed beds, valid through June 15, 2026. In Texas that certification is what lets a facility advertise memory care for Alzheimer's and related dementias.

The other 60 beds are general assisted living. For families this matters because a parent can often move from the assisted living side to the secured unit without changing communities if dementia progresses; ask how that transfer is decided and whether the monthly rate changes.

What did HHSC inspectors find at Morningside Ministries at Menger Springs?

Morningside Ministries at Menger Springs' HHSC TULIP record lists 7 cited findings between January 31, 2025 and September 3, 2025: 1 from health (care) inspections and 6 from life safety code (fire and building) inspections. The most recent HHSC visit closed on September 3, 2025.

The most recent findings, in HHSC's own words:

• Life Safety Code, September 3, 2025: The facility failed to inspect, test, and maintain fire sprinkler system components.
• Life Safety Code, September 3, 2025: The facility failed to check gas heating systems prior to the heating season and to maintain records of the those checks.
• Life Safety Code, September 3, 2025: The facility failed to include a section addressing direction and control in the emergency preparedness and response plan.
• Life Safety Code, September 3, 2025: The facility failed to provide exhaust for odor-producing areas.

• Health Visit, January 31, 2025: The facility failed to ensure portable fire extinguishers were properly sized based on the referenced codes and standards.

For context, the median for San Antonio-area assisted living communities with 50 or more beds is 7 cited findings on the current TULIP record. A finding is a cited rule, not necessarily harm to a resident; life safety findings are often fire-door, sprinkler or exit-sign items. Read the health findings first, and ask the administrator what changed after each one.

Has Texas HHSC taken enforcement action against Morningside Ministries at Menger Springs?

No. The enforcement section of Morningside Ministries at Menger Springs' HHSC TULIP record shows no administrative penalties or other enforcement actions as of October 24, 2026.

The licensee is a nonprofit organization. That says nothing about care quality on its own, but nonprofit communities sometimes keep benevolent funds for residents who outlive their savings, so ask whether one exists and how it works.

How much does assisted living at Morningside Ministries at Menger Springs cost?

HHSC does not publish prices, and Morningside Ministries at Menger Springs sets its own rates, so get a written quote. As a benchmark, our 2026 San Antonio cost guide puts most local assisted living between about $3,800 and $5,500 a month, and memory care typically adds $1,000 to $2,000 a month on top of that.

• Ask for the base rent and the care-level fee separately; most San Antonio communities price care in tiers, so two communities with the same advertised rate can differ by hundreds of dollars once care is added.
• Ask what the last two annual increases were, in percent, and whether care fees can change mid-year after a reassessment.
• The 2024 Genworth and CareScout Cost of Care Survey put the national median for assisted living at $70,800 a year, so the San Antonio market remains below the national figure even after recent increases.
• Morningside Ministries at Menger Springs' TULIP record shows it does not accept Medicaid. If STAR+PLUS HCBS may be needed later, ask what happens to a resident who spends down savings.
• Kendall County communities often price above the Bexar County median because of newer construction; compare at least one Bexar County option before deciding.

See the San Antonio assisted living cost guide and the memory care cost guide for the detail.
