Jeanne Jugan Residence (Newark, DE)
Biography
As Little Sisters of the Poor, we care for the elderly poor in the spirit of humble service which we have received from Jeanne Jugan. We welcome the elderly as we would Jesus Christ himself and serve them with love and respect until death. Mindful that we serve the Lord in the Poor, we seal our dedication by a special fourth vow of hospitality. In this evangelical mission we welcome the Elderly in Homes where we strive to meet their physical, medical, social, emotional and spiritual needs. In a family atmosphere we want the Residents to experience being loved, being needed and knowing they will receive care adapted to their eventual health changes. Respectful of their dignity and of the sacredness of life itself, we accompany them spiritually and assist them at the hour of death. The quality and spirit of this dedication is instilled in those who collaborate with us in this mission. At present Little Sisters are in 31 countries with 32 Homes in the United States.
