Residents

Since its foundation, the Congregation has formed a large family where everyone has their place:
Residents, Volunteers, Little Sisters, Employees, Associates Jeanne Jugan, benefactors.

Admission

Jeanne Jugan welcomed into her house that she shared with two friends, the first elderly person, Anne Chauvin. Since the winter of 1839, thousands of elderly people have been welcomed by the Little Sisters of the Poor, so that each one can find a place to stay, a meal, care, but also human warmth and a new family.

Ageing in Place

All our Homes have been built or renovated to provide AGEING IN PLACE.

Our Homes are designed to meet both the desire for privacy and the needs of community life.
Single rooms with individual ensuites where all rooms are large enough to create an ambiance of privacy and peace and assist in making an environment where the spirit of St Jeanne Jugan reigns.
The comforts that we desire to provide for the sick and the dying and the care of their families is a core value of our care and is paramount in the planning of the Home.

SUPPORT AND ACCOMPANIMENT

The prospect of leaving home for an Elderly person is an upheaval that we need to understand.

They hope to find:

A warm and personalized welcome, kindness, listening and their rights respected.
A reassuring framework, where they find memories, personal objects, furniture, past interests the familiar faces of social relations.
If the family wish, they can prepare the future bedroom by bringing in familiar objects in order to recreate a home that look familiar. This represents a new stage of life and we want it to be a home where it is good to live, a home where young and old meet, finally, a home where joy and peace come together.
