Saint Catherine of Siena Convent originally opened its doors in 1962 as a home for infirm and retired sisters of the Saint Dominic order. The establishment was a fulfillment of Mother Aquinas' vision, skillfully executed by her successor, Mother Dolorita. Over the years, the facility grew to accommodate up to eighty-eight residents. However, as the number of sisters diminished, the decision was made to expand the facility's services and apply for a license as a skilled nursing facility in order to provide compassionate care to a wider community.
After undergoing extensive renovations, Saint Catherine's Healthcare Center became licensed as a 30-bed skilled nursing facility in 2001. In keeping with the Dominican tradition of hospitality and outreach, the facility now extends its care to members of other religious communities, clergy, and family members of the Caldwell Dominican sisters. The mission of Saint Catherine of Siena is to provide quality skilled nursing care in a compassionate and nurturing environment, ensuring the well-being and comfort of all residents.
The Sisters of Saint Dominic of Caldwell oversee the operations of Saint Catherine of Siena, maintaining a commitment to upholding the values of their faith and providing care that reflects their dedication to service. The facility strives to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where residents can receive the support they need to live with dignity and respect. Through a focus on individualized care and a dedication to meeting the unique needs of each resident, Saint Catherine of Siena remains a trusted provider of skilled nursing services in the community.
With a rich history of caring for members of the Saint Dominic order and now expanding to serve a broader population, Saint Catherine of Siena continues to uphold its mission of providing compassionate care to those in need. The facility's commitment to excellence in nursing and dedication to upholding the values of the Dominican tradition ensure that residents receive the highest quality of care in a supportive and nurturing environment. Saint Catherine of Siena remains a beacon of compassion and service, embodying the spirit of Saint Catherine herself in its dedication to caring for others.
