The Loretto Motherhouse Infirmary, now known as the Loretto Living Center, is a long-standing healthcare facility dedicated to serving the needs of elders within the local community. Founded by the Sisters of Loretto, it remains deeply rooted in a tradition of compassionate care that reflects the values and mission of its founding community. The center extends its services not only to Sisters of Loretto and co-members, but also welcomes former employees, employees’ families, and neighbors from the broader area, fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for all residents.
At the heart of the Loretto Living Center’s philosophy is the commitment to provide a high standard of holistic care in a setting that feels comfortable and homelike. Residents benefit from an approach that promotes comfort, security, and dignity, focusing on the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of every individual. This emphasis on holistic wellness is a hallmark of daily life at the center, nurturing a sense of belonging and peace for those who call it home.
The Loretto Living Center is situated within the historic property known for its longstanding heritage as part of the Loretto Community. The Loretto Community, which embodies the mission to work for justice and act for peace, has a rich history of ministering in fields such as education, healthcare, elder care, and advocacy. Through its work at the Loretto Living Center, the community continues this mission by creating an atmosphere of mutual respect and care, honoring the legacy of the Sisters of Loretto at the Foot of the Cross, who established their presence in rural Kentucky over two centuries ago.
Today, the Loretto Living Center remains a vital part of the community, shaped by traditions of service and a commitment to nurturing both body and spirit. The facility’s consistent standards and person-centered care reflect a deep understanding of the needs of elders and their families, offering genuine comfort and a sense of home. The legacy and mission of the Sisters of Loretto are evident in every aspect of life within the Loretto Living Center, creating a sanctuary of peace, dignity, and continual compassion for all who reside there.
