Overview of The Village at Incarnate Word The Village at Incarnate Word is a 60-bed community in San Antonio’s Broadway corridor, offering a full continuum of care that spans nursing and rehabilitation, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing, along with in-home care services. The community is operated by Incarnate Word Retirement Community, Inc., which traces its roots to the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, and is led by CEO Paul Harrison. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families several ways to cover both short-term rehab stays and longer-term care.
Now in its seventh year of operation, the community runs close to full, with an occupancy rate of 92 percent. The average resident stays about 170 days, a timeline that reflects a mix of short-term rehabilitation and longer skilled nursing care. Total nursing care averages 4 hours and 23 minutes per resident each day, with certified nurse aides making up the largest share of that hands-on time.
State inspectors with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission have consistently found a clean compliance record here, with no violations or deficiencies in health or safety codes and no substantiated complaints. That kind of steady regulatory history is worth weighing alongside the more personal factors families usually consider first.
Faith and community life run through the campus. A Spiritual Life program and on-site religious services give residents a place to continue their spiritual practice, and an active resident council gives residents a direct voice in community life. A volunteer program also connects residents with opportunities to stay engaged.
Located a short walk from many neighborhood essentials, with a Walk Score of 75, the community sits in a very walkable part of San Antonio, making it easier for visiting family to combine errands with a stop by. Between its full continuum of care, steady staffing, and clean inspection history, The Village at Incarnate Word is built to support residents through a range of care needs without requiring a move to a different facility as those needs change.
