In the spirit of our Foundress, Jeanne Jugan, we offer the elderly a holistic and family-like environment which provides fulfillment and enrichment to their lives.

Family-Style Meals allow Residents an opportunity to interact socially.

A Full Range of Social, Recreational and Pastoral Activities

Each Resident in our home is offered:

• Medical and Nursing Services
• Pastoral Services
• Social Services
• Activity Programs
• Beauty and Barber Shop Services

And, as needed:

• Physical Therapy
• Occupational Therapy

A Continuum of Care

• Apartment living is offered for the elderly person or couple who is still able to live independently. Each apartment features separate bedroom, living/dining room combination, full bath and complete kitchen.
• Supportive and Assisted Living efficiency-like rooms vary according to State. These arrangements encourage independent senior living, but on a much smaller scale—one that a senior can manage.
• Intermediate Care is for the ambulatory senior who needs some nursing care as well as minimal to moderate assistance with daily personal care.
• Skilled Care completes this continuum and affords the Residents the care they need.

The Little Sisters of the Poor welcome men and women of at least 65 years of age with very limited resources (including regular income and assets), regardless of race, religion or national origin.
