Welcome to St. Joseph’s Home!

The Little Sisters of the Poor serve and care for the elderly poor in the spirit of humble service which we have received from Saint Jeanne Jugan. We welcome the elderly as we would Jesus Christ himself and serve them with love and respect until God calls them to himself.

“Be kind, especially to the infirm. Love them well…Oh yes! Be kind,” Saint Jeanne Jugan often advised the novices. The Little Sisters strive to follow this advice of our foundress in all our dealings with the elderly.

More than 177 years of experience as a congregation exclusively at the service of the elderly has given us the knowledge and intuition of the concerns and needs of the elderly poor – security, loving care, esteem and the desire to feel useful.
