The Village at Incarnate Word is a retirement care community in San Antonio with a Catholic foundation and a focus on compassionate care, so you'll find both spiritual support and practical services that fit many needs, and they've even been voted the #1 best senior living in San Antonio for three years. The community offers independent living apartments, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even in-home care through Sisters Care, so residents can get the right level of help as things change. They have a skilled nursing care facility for medical needs, as well as memory care for residents needing more attention and a traditional, homelike environment, especially in the memory care wing where things feel calmer and safer with staff around all day and night.
Folks here have access to disability support, everything from counseling and therapy to benefits navigation, advocacy, and assistive technology, plus there's education and vocational help, caregiver support, and disability screening, so both residents and their families can get the help they need without having to go far. If grief or bereavement comes up, there's support for that too, and they take spiritual life seriously, offering plenty of opportunities for prayer, growth, and reflection in their Catholic community, though anyone can participate if they want.
They've got apartments and suites built for comfort, both for those who want more independence and those who need more help, and there's a full continuum of care, so nobody has to move if their health needs change. The staff handles things like housekeeping and laundry, there's 24-hour help if someone needs it, and bathrooms are accessible for folks that need them.
Residents can join in on many activities, whether it's bingo, intellectual pursuits from their lecture series, social events, or just a trip to the beauty salon or a peaceful place for prayer, and a driver brings folks to outings. For those with kids around, there's childcare, which is pretty unusual at a place like this. The Village at Incarnate Word also focuses on wellness, life-enrichment, and education, trying to help everyone live as fully as possible right where they are, while taking into account each person's needs through different care types and specialized programs. They want every resident to feel respected whatever stage of life they're in, and they offer a virtual tour for folks who want a look before coming out. There's also a "Support the Village" program for people who want to make donations.
