The mission of St. Katharine Drexel Retirement Center is to provide quality living for our residents through programs and assistance designed for individualized care of needs as well as activities and programs for groups.

We recognize the variety of interests, abilities and the needs of the elderly. We also believe in the social model for services and programming which emphasizes involvement in activities of life at whatever level is possible or desired.

All services focus on assistance. Our role is not to “do for,” but to “assist with” each resident’s identified needs. By emphasizing assistance, we support independence and promote dignity.

Activity and service intensity are determined by the interest, abilities, and functional limitations of each resident’s needs. An individualized service plan is developed for each resident, using a team approach with resident, family and staff participation.
