Incarnate Word Retirement Community Inc

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.
