Santa Teresita is a vibrant and loving elder care community deeply rooted in a tradition of compassionate service. Offering a full spectrum of support, the community provides residents with the inviting comforts of home while ensuring independence is respected and a helping hand is available whenever needed. With its focus on the well-being of the whole person, Santa Teresita’s care extends beyond physical health to nurture the mental and spiritual dimensions of every resident’s life. Daily Mass, the rosary, the sacraments, and regularly scheduled anointing of the sick are integral parts of life at Santa Teresita, creating an atmosphere that truly bespeaks a tradition of faith, peace, and dignity.
The campus is home to several notable areas, including the Good Shepherd and Cristo Rey Cottage, as well as the Elder Care Manor and the Skilled Nursing Manor. Each area is thoughtfully designed to meet the varying needs of residents, whether they require assisted living or skilled nursing services. The dedicated staff and community members work together to foster an environment where seniors can thrive—singing favorite songs, celebrating birthdays, and enjoying the presence and support of a close-knit community. This is further reflected in annual events like the spirited Hayden 5K Run, Family Walk & Roll, which brings together over a thousand participants to support the Hayden Child Care Center and create joyful memories for all ages.
Throughout changing times and challenges, the community remains steadfast in its commitment to safety, adaptability, and exceptional care. During the pandemic, Santa Teresita adapted swiftly, enhancing health protocols and harnessing technology to ensure residents could stay connected with their loved ones. Even when physical gatherings were limited, milestone moments such as birthdays were celebrated with balloons, cupcakes, and virtual gatherings, ensuring no resident ever felt isolated or forgotten. In every aspect, from courteous and timely communication to thoughtful engagement with families, Santa Teresita stands as a sanctuary of compassionate care, spiritual enrichment, and genuine love.
