Testimonials
Here’s what some of our residents are saying…

“The city of San Antonio should appreciate the Franciscan Sisters of Chicago Service Corporation for building here. There is no other like this here. We have lived here for 52 years. I worked in our church and my job was visiting nursing homes, retirement centers and private homes for 35 years. There is nothing like Villa de San Antonio. This is an asset to the city.”

“I like the building itself. It seems like a copy of the way it could have looked long ago.”

“The staff shows genuine concern about the well-being and happiness of the residents. It is wonderful knowing that someone cares.”

“It’s new, it’s clean, it’s comfortable with a ‘home-like’ feeling.”

“I put my name on the waiting list in July or August 2006. It was a ‘leap of faith’ on my part when I realized how many facilities were owned by the Franciscan Sisters of Chicago were in other states and felt they had to be very experienced. It turned out that the facility is much better than I had imagined.”

“We enjoy not having to worry about the various things that normally require your attention. When living in your own home and/or apartment (i.e., landscaping, watering, inside problems, etc.)”

“I chose it because of its Catholic atmosphere with a chapel and Mass.”

“The staff here is outstanding. We met Elsa Garcia when we put money down to wait for completion. She impressed us as a very caring person and now that we have moved in, she still is and her office staff meets everyone with a smile. We can't say enough about the associates. They are very assuring and caring. They have a great interest in this place and everyone that moves in.”

“All the staff we have dealt with are clean, polite and knowledgeable.”

“My home here is more or less isolated and yet neighbors are not too far away. It is quiet, service is great, rooms are comfortable and having one’s own furniture for surroundings is relaxing and comforting.”

“We wanted to get away from the house maintenance and yard maintenance and still have independence.”

“The 90-percent refund protects our lifetime of savings so it’s a great value for us. We have the security of knowing our assets are protected so we can relax and live comfortably.”

“I enjoy the friendly attitude of the staff most at Villa de San Antonio, which includes all of the departments, including the dining room personnel.”

Dining is such an enjoyable experience because the surroundings are clean and quiet and there’s a good assortment of well-prepared food.”

“I hate cooking! There is a good variety of food and it is much nicer to have dining companions than eating all alone.”

“I enjoy my backyard and I don’t have to take care of it.”

“Since I am still employed I have not had an opportunity to partake in the excellent activities. I think the chapel is very beautiful and inviting. Your cantina and recreational area are outstanding.”

“The patrons we have met so far are friendly, open, well-mannered and pleasant. They are typical Texans and other southerners.”

“The people are very easy to become acquainted with, the dining room and, of course, the excellent upscale food, which was one of the bigger surprises I have enjoyed!”

“My home here is new, bright and cheerful.”

“What sets Villa de San Antonio apart from other communities is the beautiful interior decorating. It is like living in a luxury hotel.”

“Meeting and eating with different people each day makes dining so enjoyable at Villa de San Antonio. The dining room is beautiful and the staff is really trying to make it special for us.”

“My apartment has great closet space and a walk-in shower. My cat loves all the windows.”

“The food is excellent and the service is very good. Best of all, we aren’t assigned to any particular table and we get to sit with different people. This makes it nice and we can fellowship with all others. I feel like we are one big family.”

“I would be willing to bet that there is not any other independent living project in San Antonio that can begin to match this one!”

“What do I enjoy most about living at Villa de San Antonio? The caring and knowledgeable staff that’s available 24 hours a day and the lifeline PHB (Personal Help Button), the maintenance-free living, delicious meals and the not-for-profit company status.”

“The staff as a whole is great. Individualized members are very helpful, courteous and very attentive to your needs. The activities are very well planned and they are of a variety that is pleasing. A favorite activity is when trips are planned for outings to the outdoors (i.e., parks, concerts, plays, etc.). We enjoy things like these.”

“I will gladly recommend Villa de San Antonio to others.”

“I’m still active in my business and I go to work everyday. It relieves me to know when I go home I don’t have to worry about changing light bulbs or things like that. I can just call somebody.”

“The excellent staff is friendly and helpful!”

“This is right here in our own neighborhood. We’re familiar to this area and we like staying close to family and friends.”

"This is to express thanks and appreciation for the special June birthdays dinner last night. It was, without a doubt, a most elegant and enjoyable dining experience for Mary Jane and I, and I’m sure for the other celebrants as well. Your staff outdid themselves in arranging and conducting the affair. From the time Ross greeted us at the dining room door, the evening took on special character. The table was beautifully set and uniquely attractive. The wine added such a nice touch, the food was not only excellent but the entree was extraordinary, and the service was outstanding. Please convey our thanks to Brenda and Ross for their efforts in planning the event for us. Also, please express our special thanks to Joe for professionally conducting the dinner, and to Robin and Darla, who were so attentive. Their efforts made for a memorable evening for us and we appreciated them."
