Review for Gemstone at Bulverde

We were told the facility had staff to handle my mother-in-law’s ostomy, but that has not been the case.

The community itself is clean and does not have any odor, though it is not always as polished as expected. Staff interactions have been somewhat inconsistent, and over the past month, there has been a noticeable decline in friendliness, likely due to ongoing challenges with h

[name removed] and [name removed] are so sweet.

Every time I call, I talk to [name removed] or [name removed] and we always have great conversations and work so well together. They’re super sweet and care so much. There’s never any issues and if there is a concern then we work together to figure out a solution.

Impressed!

I am a healthcare provider and I just finished a clinic at Gemstone. I noticed a pleasant smell when I entered. The residents were well-kept and happy. It was clean. [name removed]was so sweet with the residents. I saw their faces light up and smile when she interacted with them. [name removed] is caring and good at her job. I’m impressed with this facility!

A lovely staff and a great place

When I brought my family member, I was surprised at how quaint the place was. When I met with the staff, they were all I would hope for in people taking care of my family. The rooms are spacious and clean and the community areas are beautiful and cozy. They do so much for their residents and my dad. Everytime I visit, I always leave happy with the level of care. Their med techs are an amazing group and care so much about their residents. I fully recommend this place to anyone who wants to take their family to somew

Care

We are so well taken care of! Med techs are on top of it and the caregivers have a good relationship with us just as well. I moved here 5 years ago and feel at home as I’ve made great friends and memories here.
