Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged Inc
The Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged Inc is a nonprofit organization in the United States, part of the global Little Sisters of the Poor mission to care for the elderly poor. This organization operates under the EIN 630397973 and aligns with the broader objectives of the Little Sisters of the Poor, a Roman Catholic order founded by Jeanne Jugan in the early 1840s.
History
The Little Sisters of the Poor began their work in the United States in 1868, establishing homes in Brooklyn, Cincinnati, and New Orleans. Over time, their presence expanded significantly across the country. By the 1950s, they had 52 homes for the aged in the U.S. However, with the changes in healthcare regulations and the Life Safety Code in the 1960s, many of these homes were rebuilt or replaced.
Mission
The mission of the Little Sisters of the Poor is to offer residence and comprehensive care to elderly individuals who are in need, providing them with dignity and respect. The organization is driven by a commitment to serve the poor and vulnerable elderly, regardless of their background or financial capabilities. This mission is fulfilled through various care facilities where residents receive shelter, sustenance, and medical attention.
Funding
Similar to other Little Sisters of the Poor establishments, the organization relies heavily on donations, bequests, and charitable events. These financial resources enable them to maintain their facilities and provide the necessary care to residents. The organization's financial health is managed through careful budgeting and auditing processes, ensuring transparency and accountability in their operations.
Operations Today
As of recent years, the Little Sisters of the Poor have 27 homes in North America, including facilities in the United States. These homes continue to be supported by a network of volunteers and benefactors who contribute financially, with goods, and through volunteering their time.
Legacy and Impact
The Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged Inc is part of a long-standing tradition of caring for the elderly poor. Their work is emblematic of the broader mission of the Little Sisters of the Poor, which has been recognized globally for its commitment to serving vulnerable populations. The legacy of Jeanne Jugan, who was canonized a saint in 2009, continues to inspire this mission.
