ADMISSIONS

The admission process to enter our Home begins with a phone call. During this initial conversation, I explain the admission requirements and try to determine if the prospective Resident’s needs could be met through the services offered at the Jeanne Jugan Residence.

If the individual seems appropriate for admission, I invite them to come for a tour so that they can learn more about our Home.

After submitting the application papers and medical forms, an applicant can be placed on the waiting list for further consideration. A personal interview with the Little Sisters and an acquaintance visit are also part of the admission process.

We are usually filled and there is a waiting list for admission.

We have several levels of care and we find it rare that we can admit anyone directly to the nursing home unit. The rooms on this unit are reserved for Residents living in the other areas of the Home who require more care and assistance due to a decline in their health.

If we feel that we are not able to meet your needs, I will be happy to suggest other facilities and resources in the community which may be helpful to you.

For more information about admissions please contact me.

Our admissions coordinator can be reached by email at sswashington@littlesistersofthepoor.org or by phone at 202-269-1831.
