St. Joseph’s Residence is a low-income Residential Care Home (RCH) and Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) for elderly persons at least 65 years of age.
Our Residential Care Home is considered independent Living. It has staff available 24/7 to monitor Residents as needed. However, our RCH Residents do not require ongoing assistance with activities of daily living.
St. Joseph’s also has a Skilled Nursing Unit where residents receive 24-hour care. The goal is for a person to come to our Home and “Age in Place”. Once an RCH Resident needs skilled nursing care, they will transfer to our Skilled Nursing Unit.
Since our goal is to ensure the happiness of our Residents, admission to our Home tends to take time and reflection. The first step is to contact our Home and ask for Admissions. Please be prepared to answer the following questions upon your initial call:
The prospective Resident’s age.
The financial circumstances of the prospective Resident
His or her current living situation
Level of care (Independent or needs assistance)
If the prospective Resident meets initial requirements, an application will be emailed, mailed, or can be picked up in the Home. Once the application is completed and returned, it will be reviewed by our Admissions team. If appropriate, we will schedule a meeting with the Little Sisters of the Poor and a tour of the Home.
Following the tour, we will contact you with the next steps. Typically, this would involve a thorough financial screening and an acquaintance visit.
