LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR CHICAGO INC

Chicago, Illinois, 60614 United States

Mission Statement

The mission is simple, vital, and direct: The Little Sisters of the Poor provide the neediest senior citizens—regardless their race, nationality, gender, or religion—a welcoming and comfortable home in which they receive person-centered nursing care in a family-like environment and are treated dignity, respect, and compassion.

About This Cause

An international Roman Catholic religious community, the Little Sisters of the Poor have pledged their lives to serving and caring for the elderly poor. Founded in 1839 by St. Jeanne Jugan in France, the Little Sisters have established homes in 31 countries throughout the world. In 1876, they opened their first home in Chicago. In Chicago, the Little Sisters of the Poor conduct two major programs: St. Mary’s Home, our 76-bed long-term care facility for needy seniors who receive nursing, medical, and social services, and Jugan Terrace our 50-unit independent-living apartments, home to low-income seniors, who benefit from our social activities.
