“My sister and I have resided in the Jeanne Jugan Pavilion for twelve and a half years. We are involved in everything—whether it be Mass, the rosary, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, participating in shows for various occasions or working in arts & crafts with Sr. Rachel. That’s always a joy! … We are treated as a family, which is so important in our “Golden Years!” Our prayer is that we follow in St. Jeanne Jugan’s footsteps.” – Pauline Brien, Pavilion Resident
“I really enjoy interacting with the Residents, watching them engage in the many activities that bring them so much joy and happiness. It makes me happy to see the smiles on their faces when participating in the activities at the home. To quote St. Jeanne Jugan, “Making the elderly happy, that’s what counts.” – Kim Torti, Director of Activities
“I have worked at the Little Sisters of the Poor since 1995. I enjoyed my relationships with our Residents. They bring joy to my life.” – Jeanne Amlaw, Receptionist and Carol Dows Pavilion Resident
“I enjoy the whole environment here at the home. I especially enjoy caring, socializing and entertaining the Residents. You can see and feel that everyone who volunteers and works at the home really cares for their well-being. When I first became involved with the aged, I wasn’t sure I could give them what they need. To my surprise, I felt much love for them and can only conclude that when you do God’s work, he gives you what you need to help others.” – Paula Moitoso, Volunteer
“I have worked at the home for the last 4 years. Each day I learn more about the Little Sisters’ foundress St. Jeanne Jugan, as well as how to interact with the elderly through the example set by the Little Sisters. I truly enjoy serving and working for the residents. I see and discover our ability to bring joy to them. The staff and sisters are so friendly which makes each day very rewarding and fulfilling.” – Mary Segalla, Director of Social Services
“The home is such a warm and friendly environment. I love working here especially helping and interacting with the residents. It’s such a great privilege to take care of them. I feel like I’m taking care of Jesus himself. There are times we hold their hands and stay with them, assuring them they are safe. It gives them a sense of peace.” – Luisa Monteiro, CNA
“The reason I choose to work at the Little Sisters of the Poor is it’s a very good place to work because they ‘serve the elderly with love and respect.’” – Bastien Frenel, Food Service Supervisor
“For the past 25 years, I’ve had the pleasure to work and talk with so many wonderful Residents. Words alone cannot express my passion and the excitement I feel when I see the residents having so much fun during a daily activity.” – Pat Sammon, Asst. Activities Director
“I have been a part of the Home (old Holy Rosary then Jeanne Jugan Residence) since 1966 and I have loved every minute of it! I had a great day today (St. Patrick’s Day Party), coming to Mass and then the party. It was great being with all of you.” – Patty Hall, Association Jeanne Jugan & Good Friend
“This home is terrific. It is so wonderful and extremely clean. I am just so comfortable staying here. I am very happy that this is my home.” – Vincent McCarthy, Resident
“I began my formation as a Little Sister at the home in Glasgow, Scotland. Over 40 years later—including 25 years spent in France and 10 years in England—I am now very happy to be in the United States and working at Jeanne Jugan Residence. The comfort and happiness of the Residents remains the most important focus of the Little Sisters. I really enjoy working with the many generous friends, volunteers, benefactors, and dedicated employees who ensure the continuation of our work.” – Sister Majella
“I love working with the Residents. I have the privilege of helping them discover their “creativity” and in doing so they become meaningfully engaged and experience a deep satisfaction in their accomplishments. This is what our mother St. Jeanne Jugan did and how I can walk in her footsteps.” – Sister Rachel
