Phase One Completed

Phase One of the Little Sisters of the Poor Capital Campaign building project has been successfully completed. To commemorate this milestone, Bishop Donald W. Wuerl said Mass and dedicated the new 54,000 square foot addition on February 11, 2004. More than 150 Residents, employees, benefactors, volunteers and Little Sisters gathered to give thanks for the completion of this project.


 

This addition provides a new living area for 48 personal care and nursing care Residents. The Little Sisters have always centered their care on the Residents, and now have a building designed to incorpo-rate their mission. The new addition is divided into four households of 12 Residents each. The Residents all have their own private bedroom which opens into a common area made up of a full sized kitchen, living area, dining room and porches.

The sights and sounds of a home will fill the air. Dishwashers, washers and dryers will run as in an everyday home. Smells of bacon frying or pancakes sizzling can now be enjoyed right in each household. They are free to lounge in the living rooms and read a book, play cards, fix a snack in the kitchen, or sit out on one of the porches and enjoy the fresh air.

The lower floor of the new addition contains a new full sized kitchen and laundry department that services the entire Home, plus the inservice depart-ment, housekeeping, maintenance areas and an indoor garage.
