Little Sisters of the Poor - Pittsburgh

Households Successfully Completed!

Sister Mary Vincent and Mary Ann Lesko lead the procession to the new addition.

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.
