# Assisted Living With a Full-Time Chef in San Antonio

A full-time chef cooking three fresh meals a day for just 16 residents — something few small assisted living homes offer.

## Why a full-time chef matters in a 16-bed home
In many small assisted living homes, caregivers cook meals between care tasks. At OneStone Oak, a **full-time chef** runs the kitchen. Caregivers can stay focused on residents, and every meal is prepared fresh by someone whose whole job is food.
Good meals matter. Families often tell us their loved one eats better here than at home — one wrote that their mother “responded by eating better than she had previously.”
## What a day of meals looks like
- **Breakfast, lunch and dinner** — home-cooked, made fresh in our own kitchen
- **Snacks any time** — available throughout the day
- **A range of dinner options** — cooked to residents’ tastes
- **Family-style service** — caregivers and managers often eat alongside residents
## Special diets
Tell us about dietary needs during the assessment. Special diets, including diabetic diets, are accommodated, and the chef works with the care team so each resident’s plan is followed at every meal.
## A kitchen built for it
The kitchen meets commercial food-preparation guidelines and opens onto the dining and living room, so meals are part of daily life rather than something delivered from down a hallway. [See the photos](/photo-gallery/).
## Taste it for yourself
Ask to tour around mealtime and see the dining room in action. Call (210) 436-8669 or [request a tour](/contact/).
