Emerald Oaks Retirement Resort

what we like the most about the community is that their staff is very responsive and caring. Kitchen staff is also very caring and will cheerfully cook something for a resident in a heartbeat

Best in San Antonio!

I took two weeks and shopped eight places. I found that the less expensive were not very good, and the more expensive were no better; some were actually worse. Lived here seven years and still very happy. Would not consider moving elsewhere! Beautiful and clean with great fun daily activities, food, and staff. Residents are respected and encouraged to be active and participate in as many activities as they are able. I cannot say enough! If you’re looking for the best place to retire in San Antonio, you’ve found it!

I made the right decision

Emerald Oaks is a wonderful place to live. The staff are wonderful and the residents are very friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. There are more fun things to do than you have time.

Would definitely recommend.

I appreciate having a washer/dryer and a fully equipped kitchen in my apartment. Also, I like the independent living situation but know if I need help I will receive it immediately. I have an emergency call button that I wear around my neck. I've fallen twice and help showed practically immediately. Meals can be delivered if requested and they have 24/7 snack bar. Also, in-house PT is available. I'm happy with the size of my one bedroom unit. The kitchen cabinets are more than I need. A little more storage space fo
