The Village at Incarnate Word

Organized in San Antonio in 1869, the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word established the first hospital in the city and began ministering to the sick and the elderly at Santa Rosa Infirmary, known today as CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health Care. Since that time, the Sisters have ministered through hospitals, orphanages, homes for the aged, educational institutions and other ministries serving the needs of the community. They built the Motherhouse (their convent) in 1899 and upon deterioration of the original Motherhouse, the Sisters decided to rebuild a retirement community for all persons – not just the Sisters. The facility would serve as a legacy of service beyond the time of the Sisters themselves. The Village at Incarnate Word, originally named Incarnate Word Retirement Community, opened on September 7, 1988 as a ministry of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word. It was established as an independent 501(C)(3) non-profit corporation, which maintains an independent Board of Trustees.

Open to persons of any religion, race, or creed, the retirement community offers a spiritually enriched home for all persons age 55 and older. Rooted in the Catholic tradition, The Village at Incarnate Word is founded upon the principles of serving and caring for all persons with compassion and respect.

Today, The Village is a Continuum of Care Retirement Community (CCRC) designed for the care of the elderly, with several levels of care. This continuum of care consists of 163 Independent Living apartments, 74 Assisted Living units (including 24 dedicated special care units for individuals with Alzheimer’s and memory impairment diseases), and 62 nursing home (Extended Care) beds. This model of the CCRC allows individuals to "age in place" in one setting as their needs change, which alleviates much of the trauma of moving to another facility.

Through Sisters Care at The Village we provide assistance to the frail and elderly in our community, by providing in-home, non-medical assistance in light housekeeping, meal preparation, medication reminder, transportation, companionship and personal and spiritual care. Our goal is to provide affordable and/or subsidized in-home services to the infirm and elderly so that they can remain independent, living with dignity in their own homes rather than an institutional setting. Dignity permeates every aspect to this program and the friendships and trust formed with clients are of primary significance.

Project Elder Help provides the same Sisters Care service to the elderly who cannot afford to pay for services. Project Elder Help makes it possible for elders aged 60 and older with very limited financial resources to fulfill their wish to live independently at home, in the environment they know best, and enjoy the highest possible quality of life. In Project Elder Help we utilize a sliding scale to assess payment, clients are able to pay as little as $0 to $14 per hour for at-home services.

Through the CCVI Legacy Fund we provide financial assistance to residents of the Village who become unable to pay for all of their accommodations and/or care. The charitable rent subsidies allow residents remain at the village even when their funds are diminished.

The Connections community outreach program focuses on a holistic approach to health and wellness and is designed to enhance the mind, body and spirit of those served. Our primary goal is to promote the concept of healthy living; Connections provides education, family caregiver support and information, nutrition, illness prevention and self-care as well as dance, exercise, creative arts and friendly game competition. These classes and services are provided at little or no cost to the greater San Antonio community. Programs are held at The Village and in underserved parts of the city.
