Kyle Chamber ChatterJanuary 30, 2012
To promote, empower, and be a valuable resource to the business community and chamber members; and to position our community as a tourism location and ideal place to live.



This week, we are proud to feature Emeritus at San Marcos as our Member Monday! Emeritus is an assisted living community which offers programs and services such as retirement living, short stay/respite care, on-site rehabilitation, and senior day programs.

"We have promised ourselves that we shall always treat our residents as we would our own loved ones. Nothing less than our best will do. This is a simple promise that the staff at Emeritus at San Marcos - and throughout Emeritus Senior Living communities - has shared since 1987, when our San Marcos, Texas assisted living community first opened its doors. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful - a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to our retirees who have chosen our community for its active lifestyle."

Visit their website for more information on the amenities of the community and the activities available, right in the heart of the hill country.
