We
dedicate our lives to fulfilling our mission: "We must make our guests
glad they crossed the threshold that is to be their last boundary. We
must make them as comfortable and happy as if their own people had kept
them and put them into the very best bedroom. We must love them."
Each patient is given the physical, spiritual, and emotional support needed
to accept the limitations imposed by illness.
Primary
care is given by the nursing sisters. A staff of nursing assistants help
the Sisters in the men's wards. Care is very much one-on-one. Each patient
has one Sister responsible for his or her care through the whole day,
through the whole week. This individual care and attention helps to make
the patient feel comfortable and secure, a part of the Sisters' family.
The
day begins with the Sisters serving breakfast and providing morning care
and organized activities. After the midday meal there is a quiet time
when the patients take part in activities of their choice, have visitors,
or just enjoy a quiet afternoon. After supper, the Sisters prepare the
patients for the night and make sure they are comfortable.
We
are committed to providing quality care, while preserving our patients'
independence and dignity as much as possible.
