Health Care & Senior Living Ministries

St. Charles Community

In 1961, the Sisters of Notre Dame answered the request from Covington, Kentucky’s Diocese to build and staff a convalescent hospital not far from the SND Covington Provincial Center.  Today, this facility is known as St. Charles Community and offers adult day care; 62 cottages and 71 apartments for seniors; a therapy department; personal care suites; home care and private duty nursing; and an outreach program for elderly people in need. 

As a faith-based community, St. Charles Community’s mission has always been to serve seniors and their families in an environment of mutual trust, willing cooperation, and sincere understanding. In this loving community, dignity is preserved, quality of life is improved and the whole person, both their body and their spirit, will be cared for with a deep devotion to the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.  

SND Eastern KY Foundation

Founded in 2024, the mission of the SND Eastern Kentucky Foundation is to proclaim God’s goodness by providing support to individuals, families, and communities in need in eastern Kentucky in order to promote systemic change and fullness of life.
 
Guided by God’s goodness and compassionate care for all people, we envision a “future full of hope” for people in need in eastern Kentucky as we support opportunities for everyone to have the fullness of life. 

Notre Dame Village

Notre Dame Village in Chardon, Ohio is a community of living and learning, thoughtfully designed and constructed by the Sisters of Notre Dame.  Located in a bucolic setting, Notre Dame Village offers independent and supportive residences for adults 65 years of age and older with cottage homes, independent living apartments, and unique “small houses” for memory care assisted living for adults 55 and over. 

 

Notre Dame Village represents a unique collaboration between SND USA and Jennings.  The Sisters of Notre Dame own the facilities, and services are provided by Jennings.  Locally sourced food and services, a chapel, auditorium, intergenerational and spiritual programs and SND sisters as neighbors set Notre Dame Village apart from other residential senior housing options. 

"... so far the dear God has always taken care and will certainly continue to do so."

– Sister Maria Aloysia to Hendrina and Joseph Honsel, Letter VI, Oct. 25, 1886
