The same address also carries license #145022 (Type A, 42 beds). Texas licenses buildings, not brands, so one campus often holds separate Type A and Type B licenses, and each has its own inspection file.
At more than 25 years on the HHSC rolls, this is one of the longer-licensed communities in the metro.
Yes. Incarnate Word Retirement Community holds HHSC Alzheimer's certificate #104401 covering 24 of its 45 licensed beds, valid through May 3, 2029. In Texas that certification is what lets a facility advertise memory care for Alzheimer's and related dementias.
The other 21 beds are general assisted living. For families this matters because a parent can often move from the assisted living side to the secured unit without changing communities if dementia progresses; ask how that transfer is decided and whether the monthly rate changes.
Incarnate Word Retirement Community's HHSC TULIP record lists 5 cited findings on October 29, 2025: 0 from health (care) inspections and 5 from life safety code (fire and building) inspections. The most recent HHSC visit closed on October 29, 2025.
The most recent findings, in HHSC's own words:
For context, the median for San Antonio-area assisted living communities with 50 or more beds is 7 cited findings on the current TULIP record. A finding is a cited rule, not necessarily harm to a resident; life safety findings are often fire-door, sprinkler or exit-sign items. Read the health findings first, and ask the administrator what changed after each one.
Yes. Incarnate Word Retirement Community's HHSC record shows 1 administrative penalty totaling $2,250, most recently $2,250 imposed on July 24, 2024.
An administrative penalty is a fine HHSC imposes after a violation; it does not by itself close a facility or mean residents are unsafe today. Ask the administrator what the plan of correction was and whether HHSC accepted it.
HHSC lists Incarnate Word Retirement Community, INC (nonprofit organization) as the license holder for Incarnate Word Retirement Community, with no separate management company on the record.
The licensee is a nonprofit organization. That says nothing about care quality on its own, but nonprofit communities sometimes keep benevolent funds for residents who outlive their savings, so ask whether one exists and how it works.
Incarnate Word Retirement Community is at 4707 Broadway in San Antonio (78209), Bexar County, in Alamo Heights and the Broadway corridor. HHSC lists 16 other licensed assisted living facilities within five miles.
