As COVID-19 continues to impact our community, our hearts and healing thoughts go out to all those affected. We understand you are ready to return to your activities and friendships at Casa Helotes and we are right there with you. After being closed for almost a year now, we are looking forward to some sort of “normalcy”, including catching up with friends, sharing stories and laughter and forming new friendships along the way.
We are still monitoring the COVID-19 cases and vaccination statistics in our area and continue to comply with the state and local Executive Orders set forth by our elected officials. Regrettably, the Board of Directors and Staff has not determined a date to reopen our doors at this time.
The risk for severe illness and complications associated with COVID-19 increases with age, with older adults at higher risk. We assure you that the health, safety and well-being of our clients and employees is of the utmost importance and we will reopen when it is completely safe for everyone to join us.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and support while we anxiously await the day we can be reunited.
The Board of Directors and Staff
As COVID-19 (Coronavirus) remains prevalent in our community, we remain closed until further notice. While we look forward to welcoming you back, we must adhere to Executive Order NW-14 of County Judge Nelson Wolff issued August 12, 2020. It reads, in part:
"IV. Large Gatherings Prohibited. Large gatherings or events estimated to be in excess of 10 people, whether indoor or outdoor, are prohibited."
Until we can meet in person, please enjoy the wide array of virtual classes and seminars offered on behalf of our partners. Click the link below for details.

We are gearing up for another month of Home Delivered Meals (HDM) prepared and cooked on-site by our resident cook. These are the same wholesome, delicious meals many of our clients enjoy daily at Casa Helotes.
We understand these are challenging times for all of us and we are sensitive to the needs of our senior clients. If you are (or know someone who is) interested in our weekly home delivery meal program beginning Monday August 3, 2020, please email us at info@casahelotes.org.
As a reminder, this is a no-contact delivery program. The delivery person (staff or board member) will call you when they are en route to your location. We ask that you place your contribution in a sealed envelope just outside your front door. When the delivery person arrives at your home, he/she will ring the doorbell letting you know your meals have arrived. He/She will retrieve the envelope, leave your meals at the front door and return to their vehicle.
Until we can see each other again, we look forward to continuing our mission of serving you!
We proudly continue to strengthen our partnership with Senior Planet San Antonio during the COVID-19 pandemic. Previously, Senior Planet provided computer instruction to our senior clients with an overwhelming response. While we remain safe in our homes, Senior Planet has just announced they are extending their Zoom based virtual training programs to include their standard 5-week courses. The course/lecture series offerings, at this time, are based on health and wellness, financial security, socialization, civic engagement, and lifelong learning.

After much consideration and discussion with the Board of Directors and Staff, it is with heavy hearts that we have made the decision to once again close our doors effective immediately due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. While it was wonderful to see our friends again, we take the health and well-being of our community, members, and staff very seriously. With the rising number of cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19), we want to make sure everyone remains safe and healthy until we can visit again. This is only a temporary closure and we will reevaluate the situation at the end of July.
