| Community Care’s tradition of service to older adults in religious orders |
|
| Community Care enjoys a unique bond with the School Sisters of St. Francis. Community Care’s headquarters on Layton Boulevard in Milwaukee, just down the street from the famous Milwaukee “Domes,” is located on what had once been abundant celery fields tended by the School Sisters of St. Francis. We also operate an adult day health center there, in a complex owned and operated by the sisters. A mutually beneficial partnership has developed between Community Care and the sisters. This partnership also benefits the community.
In 1994, about 500 nuns of the School Sisters of St. Francis lived in a convent located on what is now South Layton Boulevard. But dwindling number of sisters and changing neighborhood demographics led the sisters to renovate their motherhouse to share their space with non-profit tenants. At the same time, Community Care was looking for a new site for its PACE Program that was located in the basement of the Johnston Community Health Clinic nearby. We became a tenant and share space with the sisters in our Layton facility. We also share with the sisters a sense of mission to serve the needs of the people in our community. In 2005, the School Sisters of Notre Dame and the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi became participants in our PACE Program. We welcome the opportunity to serve these sisters. |
