St. Ignatius' personal choice culutre gives residents and patients the ability to choose when they want to dine and what they want to order. They choose from a daily menu of specials and always-available items all made to order. This is a huge step in our journey to resident-centered care.
Our main dining room is located on the first floor; however, our residents and patients are transported from the 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th floors. Currently we are seeking volunteers to assist with transport during meals; lunchtime is our most crucial need. The schedule is as follows: Breakfast 7:30-9:00, Lunch 11:30-1:00 and Dinner 5-6:30. We need assistance every day of the week but even just one meal per week would be greatly appreciated. This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know our residents and see how St. Ignatius serves the elderly in your community.

Mission Statement
St. Ignatius Nursing & Rehab Center, a Catholic healthcare ministry of the Felician Franciscan Sisters, welcomes all and responds to the needs of the whole person as revealed in the healing ministry of Jesus. We serve our communities by providing quality care and integrating our essential core values of Dignity of All Persons, Excellence, Community, Stewardship and Concern for the Poor.
Description
St. Ignatius Nursing & Rehab Center is a long term care nursing home and rehab center dedicated to compassionate care for low income elderly and the infirmed. The original home was founded back in the '50’s by the local parish priest who wanted to help some elderly parishioners who were living in deplorable conditions. He bought the home next to the rectory and staffed it with volunteers to care for them. From these early beginnings, this small nursing home moved and grew into the current modern 176 bed nursing & rehab center, but what has not changed is the mission. St. Ignatius is now the ministry of the Felician Franciscan Sisters who dedicate their lives to those in need. While we are a Catholic facility, the Sisters and our staff serve those of all religions and creed and welcome everyone. Only a block away from the original nursing home, we have become an anchor in a struggling area of Philadelphia and employ 250 staff, giving steady employment with benefits to many from the surrounding neighborhoods.
