The goal of The Campaign for Compassionate Care is $15 million. These resources will help guarantee that the service the Sisters provide to our community proceeds to the next level. To ensure that funds contributed to the campaign will have the greatest impact, priorities for the investment in the future of the Home have been established. These priorities are consistent with the Little Sisters’ mission and consistent with the challenges facing our elderly poor.

The Little Sisters are putting their plans in God’s hands and the generosity of their many friends.

Jeanne Jugan Pavilion: Independent Living Apartments

45 new apartments are available for low-income elderly people who meet admission standards. The apartments are ideal for those who take pride in caring for themselves yet desire the ease and security offered by this type of living arrangement.

Each apartment features a fully equipped kitchen, a private bath, a living room, a bedroom, and intercom system. A laundry area is housed on every floor. The bright, airy apartments afford each Resident with a panoramic view of Pittsburgh’s rolling hills.

Convenience. The apartments are adjacent to the Home, giving apartment dwellers full use of all the Home’s amenities. Such proximity to the Home assures the benefit of living independently while having access to the Sisters and the services they provide.

Safety, Security, Peace of Mind. While these living quarters ensure privacy, the Sisters are ever-vigilant over the Residents to ensure their well-being. Apartment Residents are also welcome to take meals in the Home’s dining rooms.Like the rest of the Home, these apartments are comfortable, handicapped-accessible, and safe. A front-door security system with intercom provides an added measure of security. Most important, under the watchful eyes of the Sisters, the people who live here do not suffer the fear and loneliness experienced by many of our community's elderly.

Total Needed: $7,100,000

James Wall Building

Built in 1923, the James Wall Building is the backbone of the Home. Here you will find the library, the general store, the crafts shop, the post office, the beauty shop, the physical therapy and medical offices suite as well as administrative offices. The Sisters’ convent is also housed in this building.

While repairs to this building have been on-going, no major restoration has ever taken place. To bring this aged building forward into the 21st century, along with ensuring cost-efficiencies, the safety, plumbing, wiring, lighting, heating and ventilation systems have been updated. The majority of this project called for repairs, replacement and improvements to systems and structures.

Now complete, the Wall Building boasts a top notch Health Pavilion of medical offices and a wellness center, updated administrative and social service areas along with the Home's "main street" collection of shops for Residents. An auditorium space for entertainment and instructional purposes enhances the Home's holistic spirit. Reconfigured offices are more accessible, and finally updates on the Sisters' quarters are completed. Life safety needs including sprinkling and fire protection systems, asbestos abatement and a newly designed wheelchair accessible entryway are among the priority elements addressed through this renovation.

Total Needed: $7,000,000
