The Little Sisters of the Poor accept needy men and women over
60 years of age regardless of race or religious affiliation.
With health care costs increasing faster than the standard cost of living, the limited resources of the Little Sisters of the Poor have been stretched to meet the needs of its Residents. The Little Sisters receive financial reimbursement through Medicaid for only 38% of the expenses needed to provide quality care. Unlike other nursing homes, the costs for resident care are not fully covered.
On average, in excess of $2,000,000 is needed annually to meet the shortfall in operating expenses. These monies are raised by the Little Sisters through begging, annual donations and bequests. Given the necessity to raise money for on-going operating costs, it is clear that capital needs cannot be met by the Little Sisters without a special effort.
While annual support is critical in sustaining the Home’s operations, vital building improvements can only be accomplished through a dedicated capital campaign.

As Little Sisters of the Poor of Pittsburgh, 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.
