 The
Sarah Community came to be in 1999 through the collaboration
of five congregations of religious women to provide quality service
for the long-term care and retirement needs of their members and
the general public with respect, compassion and a spirit of welcoming
hospitality. The “houses” of the community are home
to many neighbors. Catholic sisters and people of all faiths and
traditions live in Naomi House’s independent living apartments,
in the assisted living apartments of Veronica House, and in Anna
House with its skilled nursing care.
