Celebrating 115 Years of Care, Community, and Connection

This year, EdenHill Communities proudly marks a monumental milestone: 115 years of serving residents with compassion, dedication, and innovation. Since our founding in 1906, EdenHill has evolved from a humble home for 20 residents into a vibrant, multifaceted community. Yet our mission of providing exceptional care in a welcoming environment remains steadfast.

A Legacy Rooted in Care

EdenHill Communities traces its origins to Mr. and Mrs. Martin Schmidt, whose vision of care and compassion led to the establishment of the “Old Folks and Pastor’s Home” in San Antonio. Situated on South Presa Street, the home offered sanctuary to 20 residents, laying the foundation for the EdenHill we know today. Over the decades, our community has transformed, growing alongside the needs of our aging population while remaining true to the values that started it all.

Growing and Evolving

In 1954, EdenHill relocated to the beautiful city of New Braunfels, where we built our first retirement cottage. Over the years we expanded into a comprehensive campus offering Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Rehabilitation Services, and Skilled Nursing. Our commitment to providing state-of-the-art care was further demonstrated in 2015 with the opening of a new healthcare center, designed to meet the diverse needs of our residents. We also expanded our service lines with the introduction of EdenCare in 2020 and EdenHospice in 2022, extending our continuum of care beyond the campus. In 2024, we undertook a thorough renovation of our Assisted Living and Memory Care neighborhood, adding more rooms, and updating the neighborhoods. Whether it’s vibrant apartments, cozy cottages, or specialized care services, EdenHill continues to redefine what it means to age gracefully and with dignity.

Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future

While we honor our rich history, EdenHill Communities also looks ahead to the future. With a commitment to innovation and excellence, we’re continually adapting to provide the best care and lifestyle for our residents. From expanding our wellness programs to fostering a sense of connection through engaging social activities, our community remains a place where residents can thrive.
