“Spiritually it is nice to work here because you’re surrounded by God, the Little Sisters, and the Residents as well. I enjoy waking up to go to work because you know you’re coming to a peaceful place to help people. I don’t dread coming here at all; instead I like to see what I can accomplish”
–Stan Sader, Housekeeping Supervisor
“This place isn’t just beautiful; it’s full of love. They treat us like family. The Little Sisters are like our mothers. I am very blessed to be here. It’s a dream come true. It’s the right place for me to prepare for the journey home because we have everything we spiritually need. Not just that, but they keep us healthy. I am stronger now than I was when I was by myself. It’s more than I ever expected. I’m ecstatic about the whole place!”
–Teresita Endencia, Resident
“I enjoy working with the Residents to make them happy through fun activities, parties, and socials. We celebrate every holiday and anything that we can create to make a party. St. Jeanne Jugan said to make the elderly happy, and that is my goal.”
-Cindy DeLuca, Activities Director
“I feel like the staff, Residents, and the Little Sisters are all a family. Over the years you learn so much about the Residents’ lives and families, and you grow to be so happy for them when happy events happen for them. They, too, get excited for us and our families. The Residents are very lucky to be cared for by a staff where everyone follows the spirit of Jeanne Jugan. You can see it in the staff and the sisters. It’s the people here that make the home beautiful.”
-Debbie Cicero, Nurse
“I have been volunteering at St. Joseph’s home for 26 years. My mother lived here until she passed away at 96 years old. I made so many friends; I had to keep coming back. This is “my second home”; it’s so full of love.”
-Bud Roller, Volunteer, A.J.J member
“This is the finest place I’ve ever been. The nuns are great. All the people who work here are great. It’s unbelievable how we can recruit so many wonderful people. It’s the place to be! It’s really great! I mean it!”
-Joe Molloy, Resident
“After giving a retreat at St. Joseph’s and being the confessor for The Little Sisters, they asked me to be their chaplain. I like ministering to the elders, and I feel blessed in doing so.”
-Fr. George Auger, Chaplain
