“The Loretto Motherhouse Infirmary became the Loretto Living Center in January of 2023. The Living Center is a nonprofit organization responsible for the operations of our nursing facility, which includes departments for nursing, food service, environmental services, pastoral care, social services, activities and administration, along with affiliations for therapy, diagnostic and physician services.

“We are a licensed long-term care facility currently caring for up to 63 residents. Our mission is to provide the highest standard of holistic care that promotes comfort, security and dignity for all residents in a home-like atmosphere. We strive to value each person, staff and resident and welcome them as a positive addition to our community.

“We respect the dignity of our residents, encouraging, fostering and supporting them along their life journey. We recognize the rights and individual freedoms of all people and encourage that freedom toward the health, personal fulfillment and happiness of each of our residents. We value the dedication and reliability of our staff, residents and extended community. Together we care for each other with compassion and love.”
