“Empowering Seniors to Live Independently”

NESA Services are FREE!

We depend on donations to keep our doors open. Clients and others wishing to help us defray our expenses, may send their tax deductible donations to NESA on a schedule of their choice.

All NESA services are performed by dedicated volunteers.

How to Qualify 

To be eligible for NESA services, you must be:

• 60 years old or older
• Live in northeast San Antonio (east of San Pedro, outside Loop 1604 to Evans Rd, on the north side of IH35, also including Windcrest, Royal Ridge, Camelot, and adjoining areas of Bexar County.  We also serve parts of Live Oak. See map on last page.)
• Do not drive anymore, or drive far; or live with someone who drives but works full time.
• You must be ambulatory.  If you are wheelchair-bound, you will not be able to use our transportation services, but you can use grocery delivery services.

When you call in, we will fill out an intake form. Then our Outreach Nurse will schedule a home visit to make sure you fit the program.

After you are approved, you may begin calling in your appointments 1-3 weeks in advance. Only 1 ride per week is allowed .

Due to liability, we will not transport clients to outpatient procedures nor any procedure requiring an IV sedation.
