Esplanade Gardens Senior Inc
Esplanade Gardens Senior is an assisted living community in Converse, Texas, serving older adults throughout Bexar County. Operating with 120 beds under the ownership of Esplanade Gardens Senior, the community provides assisted living, memory care, and short-term respite stays for adults aged 55 and older. Its large campus supports a socially active atmosphere with daily programming and a broad range of shared amenities designed to encourage engagement and independence.
The community holds an Alzheimer’s Certification through the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, confirming its qualifications to provide specialized dementia services. Its dedicated memory care program, Reflections Dementia Care, is structured specifically for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and related cognitive conditions. 24-hour staffing and on-site rehabilitation services are available, and respite stays provide flexibility for families navigating recovery periods, caregiver breaks, or transitional care needs. Medicare is not accepted, which families should consider during financial planning.
The community has accumulated a total of six citations, matching the Texas statewide average. One citation fell under the Health Code category, while five involved Life Safety Code deficiencies connected to NFPA 101 standards. Findings included concerns related to fire-rated construction, storage of combustible materials, sprinkler system maintenance, and access to equipment needed for testing and servicing. However, most life safety code violations were corrected before the most recent inspection in October 2021. No enforcement actions were tied directly to that inspection cycle.
Daily life within the community emphasizes activity and social connection, conducting bingo, live entertainment, pet visits, and other scheduled events offered throughout the week. Dining services also operate on an extended schedule from morning through evening, allowing flexibility uncommon in many assisted living settings. Additional amenities include salon and spa services, transportation assistance, indoor and outdoor gathering areas, and all-inclusive lifestyle services that support comfort and convenience.
Esplanade Gardens Senior is best suited for older adults seeking a larger community environment with structured memory care programming, respite availability, and a full calendar of activities. Its central Converse location offers convenient access to nearby services and healthcare resources, while the combination of Alzheimer’s-certified care and extensive lifestyle amenities also appeals to families looking for both support and engagement in one setting.
