Respecting the dignity of each person through compassion and understanding of those entrusted to our care.

In the sixteenth century, Saint Louise de Marillac devoted her life to the compassionate, self-effacing care of the aged and sick in Paris. Collaborating with Saint Vincent de Paul, they founded the Congregation of the Daughters of Charity. Villa de Marillac, sponsored by the Vincentian Sisters of Charity, is dedicated to carry on the nursing principles established by its honored namesake, St. Louise de Marillac. Through the years, their nursing ministries have attended to over 717 residents.

In March 1943, Villa de Marillac began as a charitable, non-sectarian facility to serve the sick and convalescent. The facility includes:

A Centrally Located Chapel A Complete Modern Kitchen Large Recreation Room Occupational and Physio-Therapy Rooms Barber and Beauty Shop Lounge Gift Shop

Lobby Solarium Dining Rooms Terrace Laundry Linen Room Elevator Service for Access to All Floors

Villa de Marillac is a licensed skilled care nursing facility well-equipped and adequately staffed with properly qualified personnel dedicated to serving the geriatric resident in need of nursing care and rehabilitation services.

Villa de Marillac ministers to the total person and recognizes the individual's right to live and die with dignity, recognizing that each individual has the right to choose which medical procedures he or she wished to receive or reject in light of that individual's own medical condition.

Fifty-two beds in private and semi-private rooms are completely equipped with modern facilities for the care and well being of each patient. Villa de Marillac provides:

Professional Nursing Care Physical, Occupational, Speech and Recreational Therapy Registered Dietician Social Services
