We have disabled our ‘feedback’ feature. We apologise for any inconvenience. Find out more here: I want to read reviews of rest homes
Sacred Heart Home, as all facilities owned by the Little Sisters of the Poor, exists to extend hospitality towards the Aged suffering from financial need, loneliness or other difficulties. We do this recalling the words of the Lord "I was a stranger and you welcomed me" Matthew 25.35.
Together with our staff we do this, continuing the charismatic inspiration of Jeanne Jugan our Foundress. Through love filled services for our elderly brothers and sisters and witness to the compassionate love and Mercy of God for all persons.
