Vincentian De Marillac is an integral part of the Vincentian network, a nonprofit organization that has been dedicated to providing compassionate human services in Western Pennsylvania since 1924. Rooted in a longstanding tradition of care inspired by principles of charity and compassion, Vincentian De Marillac builds on a century-long legacy of serving individuals who are most in need within the community. The organization’s central philosophy places people at the very heart of its mission, ensuring that each resident experiences individualized attention and support tailored to their unique needs, no matter the stage of life or required level of care.
At Vincentian De Marillac, residents benefit from a continuum of care designed to maintain dignity, enhance wellbeing, and maximize happiness. The full spectrum of services includes independent living, personal care, memory care for those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, short-term post-acute rehabilitation, as well as long-term skilled nursing. Recovery programs incorporate occupational therapy, speech therapy, and physical therapy, each crafted to support daily living, communication, movement, and overall physical resilience. By emphasizing occupational therapy, the facility ensures individuals can participate fully in activities of daily life, from household tasks to personal hobbies. Speech therapy is available for those experiencing communication challenges or swallowing disorders, while physical therapy focuses on flexibility, strength, balance, and general mobility.
Vincentian De Marillac employs a distinctive care delivery philosophy based on person-centered engagement. Every resident's experience is shaped by an approach that prioritizes respect, compassion, and encouragement, emphasizing meaningful connections rather than segmenting people by age or need. This intergenerational vision means that both older adults and younger members of the community find an environment conducive to learning, exploration, and ongoing engagement. The leadership structure features a Chief Nursing Officer and a Vice President of Clinical Excellence, underscoring the organization’s ongoing commitment to clinical quality and patient-centered service.
Beyond its senior care facilities, Vincentian also extends its mission to younger generations through the Vincentian Child Discovery Center, offering licensed childcare programs and a summer discovery camp for children ages six weeks through fourth grade. This innovation underscores the organization’s belief that learning and care are lifelong pursuits, important at every age. The Vincentian Learning and Engagement Institute serves as a hub for community-focused educational programs and events, providing opportunities for learning, professional development, and intergenerational collaboration.
Further evidence of Vincentian De Marillac’s creative spirit is seen in the Unconventional Kitchen, a unique initiative that repurposes spaces to prepare and deliver chef-inspired, locally sourced meals. All proceeds from this endeavor go directly back into the mission of benevolent care, supporting Vincentian’s continued investment in services for those who depend most on their reach. Celebrating over a hundred years of community service, Vincentian De Marillac remains a place where compassionate people care for people, fostering a culture dedicated to responsive, high-quality, and genuinely person-focused care.
