Texercise Texas Style| Morningside Ministries

Morningside Ministries in collaboration with the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (T.D.A.D.S.) and The Medical Team, hosted its first ever Texercise Texas Style event. This event featured three residents of Morningside Ministries who are 96, 99 and 100 years young who participate regularly in Texercise by T.D.A.D.S. and eat right using our “Por Vida” healthy menu.

UTSA’s award winning Basketball program sent San Antonio natives Tyler Wood and Larry Wilkins to our Texercise event at The Meadows. With an average height of 6’5″ and a combined weight of almost 500 pounds these NCAA basketball players are experts in staying in shape!

Every day, many people strive to eat healthy and stay in shape. Texercise Texas Style celebrates healthy living for all seniors. Who better to learn from than those who have stayed fit for almost a century? Continual exercise keeps seniors active, inspires confidence through their accomplishments and prevents muscle deterioration. The Texercise program emphasizes great habits like eating right and exercising and honors those who are living their results!

Why our residents love us

My parents moved into their Meadows independent living (atrium) apartment almost 2 years ago, from another city. Their (and our) experience here has exceeded our highest hopes. From the compassionate, friendly, helpful staff to the delicious meals, activities, their apartment, amenities, and welcoming residents, we could not have imagined or found a better place for them to be for this season of life! We 5 "kids" are so thankful that they are happy, safe, comfortable, busy, and have made wonderful new friends, both residents and staff. Thank you, MM! It's definitely worth checking out for YOUR parents, too. (Or yourself!)

I learned about Morningside Ministries at Menger Springs when two of my neighbors moved there. Another friend and I frequently drove from our home in Kerrville to visit and play bridge with them. I don't think we ever left that one of us didn't say " I'd like to live here someday." When I realized that "someday" was fast approaching I started visiting retirement communities in several places, including my former home in Colorado where I still had close friends. None of them were as attractive physically as Morningside and none offered as much in the way of programs and services. I chose Morningside for three basic reasons: security, convenience and the sense of a caring community. I have the security of knowing that I will always be cared for, the convenience of having all my needs met in one place and the joy of living in a community where everyone, residents and staff, are considered as family.

My wife and I have been residents in the Independent Living Menger House Apartments at Morningside Ministries at Menger Springs for four years. We chose Menger Springs because of its Hill Country location, excellent and beautiful facilities along with their commitment to personal care and to truly care for those who have cared for so many others by a Not For Profit Christian Corporation. We knew that regardless of what challenges or changes we might meet in the days and years ahead, Menger Springs would be able to provide the care for us. My wife feels so secure here and has the option of participating in so many activities, pursue individual endeavors or to feel free to remain in our apartment. We are so pleased to be residents at Morningside Ministries Menger Springs in beautiful Boerne! I highly recommend it!
