    About St. Anne's Home For The Aged

    St. Anne's Home For The Aged sat on six acres at 300 Lake Street in San Francisco and had a history going back 124 years, with the Little Sisters of the Poor running the place since 1901, which means it's seen a lot of change through the years, like the old red brick building from 1904 and then a newer, brighter one that went up after the original was declared unsafe in 1977, and for all that time it welcomed both Catholic and non-Catholic seniors, caring for people with little money, giving them meals in a dining room where school kids sometimes stopped by for Mass, prayers, or music, and volunteers or auxiliary members brought birthday and Christmas gifts, made beds, and even drove folks to appointments when needed. The Chapel stayed at the heart of things for those who wanted to worship or join the rosary, and the Association Jeanne Jugan along with people from the Youth for Elders program came to visit, play games, do arts and crafts or sing and help out, and there were bible studies, cookouts, movies, bingo, and even music therapy or animal visits here and there. Residents always got help with bathing, dressing, or grooming if needed, and the hairdresser rolled in regularly, plus the place could handle special meals for people with diabetes or high blood pressure, and if someone needed insulin shots or two people to move them, staff could do this as well. Up to 41 seniors lived here with both residential care and a nursing home, and sometimes during tough years staffing was a challenge and they had to bring in temp workers to keep things running and make sure folks stayed safe. Back in the day, someone like Edward Joseph LeBreton, who donated the land, helped make sure this home could keep going, but eventually it faced problems, mainly with finding enough staff and covering costs, so after helping about 59 residents find other places to go, including other Little Sisters' homes as far as New Mexico, they made plans to close down in April and sell the property, possibly turning it into new housing in the future. St. Anne's always stayed part of local Catholic charity-helping priests and regular folks alike-focusing on community, faith, and dignity for the elderly, whether it was busy with visitors, quiet with prayers, or just catching sunshine in the garden, and after more than a century, its legacy continues in the memories of those it served.
