From its beginnings in
1880 as a farmhouse on the fields of a Farm purchased by the Sisters of the
Divine for the purpose of establishing a home for the disenfranchised, The
Sisters Home has grown to be recognized as the premier nursing care facility
and faith-based residence in the Greater Tri-state region. The Sister Home
currently serves more than 700 older residents, many of whom are the
underserved poor in the community. Although expanding and adapting its services
to meet modern realities, the mission of Home has remained steadfastly the
same: to provide compassionate and excellent care that promotes wellness,
enhances quality of life and embraces diversity. The story of Home is more
about the legacy of the Sisters of the Divine than it is about the bricks and
mortar of the building itself. The Sisters of the Divine, devoted to service
and committed to the dignity of each person, have quietly and steadfastly
served this community for more than 130 years.
In 1985, the campus
expanded with the opening of a New Building and for the Continuing Care
Retirement Community. The New Sisters Home encourages wellness and autonomy
through independent and assisted living experiences that keep the mind, body
and soul active. While founded and co-sponsored to this day by the Sisters of
the Divine, The New Sisters Home is like The Old Sisters Home, a place where
people of many faith traditions live and learn together as a community of
friends.
Now the Old Sisters of
the Divine Home sits Vacant.
