Care That Feels Like Family: Finding Comfort, Care and Connection After 97 Years of Independence

When 97-year-old Jennie took a serious fall, her daughter, Theresa, was not sure where to turn for help. A caseworker’s recommendation led them to St. Josephs Place, where expert nursing care, personal touches and peace of mind became part of their daily routine.

“I realized how important philanthropy is when my mom needed this level of care,” Theresa says. “Donations make it possible for families like mine to have access to incredible staff, resources and a place that truly feels like home. Giving to St. Josephs Place is about ensuring that every resident receives the dignity and care they deserve.”

With compassionate staff, Theresa’s support—and a few home-cooked favorites—Jennie is healing, smiling and staying strong. Your gift helps ensure more families experience expert care when they need it most.
