Overview of Blue Skies East Campus Blue Skies of Texas East is a 24-bed nursing home at 4917 Ravenswood Dr in San Antonio’s Valley High North neighborhood, Bexar County. BST Health Services Corp. operates it; Air Force Village Inc is the owner. The community has been running for 14 years, is part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, and accepts Medicare and private pay. Bianca Cardenas serves as Executive Director, with 13 years of experience in senior living.
Five care levels are available here: nursing home, assisted living, hospice care, independent living, and memory care. Residential options spread across a Hi-Rise, Mid-Rise, Cottages, and a development called The Hills. Occupancy sits at 68%, with 16 of 24 nursing home beds currently filled, and the average stay runs 109 days.
Nursing care totals 6 hours and 31 minutes per resident per day: 46 minutes from an RN, 1 hour and 22 minutes from an LPN or LVN, and 3 hours and 1 minute from nurse aides. Rehabilitation services, respite care, and 24-hour staffing are all on offer. CMS-recognized programs include an on-site Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Program and an Active Resident Council.
The amenity footprint is large relative to the nursing home’s 24-bed size, because this is a full CCRC campus. That means a pool, fitness centers, a woodshop and art studio, a dog park, a community garden, outdoor walking trails, a billiard and game room, a library, a Sky Lounge, a 24-hour concierge, and interdenominational chapels. Dining draws on fresh, seasonal ingredients with a made-from-scratch approach. More than 70 activity groups are on the calendar.
State inspections by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission have covered medication management, and care planning and documentation. Walk Score is 47; the neighborhood is only somewhat walkable, and most errands require a car.
For a small nursing home, Blue Skies of Texas East presents an unusually broad care and amenity profile, which reflects its position as part of a larger campus with multiple residential tiers rather than a standalone skilled nursing facility.
