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 of 1,836, with a range from 1,477 to 2,450 square feet. Metropolitan Construc- tion is constructing the expansion. “The downsizing process can be really over- whelming 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.
Morningside Ministries is gearing up for the final expansion of Morningside at Menger Springs, adding 51 independent living units to the commu- nity. The project is expected to be completed in fall 2027. About the project Morningside Ministries is a nonprofit organiza- tion that started in 1959 and provides 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 will be ready for move-in by February. Due to the success of the terrace home expansion,
