Jeanne Jugan Center

Jeanne Jugan Center in Kansas City, Missouri is operated by the Little Sisters of the Poor, a religious community dedicated to providing care for elderly residents in their final years. The Little Sisters live at the home alongside residents, offering continuous presence and support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year as part of their commitment to creating a nurturing community.

The center emphasizes a philosophy of care rooted in spiritual values and community support. The Little Sisters rely on Divine Providence and the generosity of donors and volunteers to sustain their mission of serving residents' needs. This approach shapes the home's culture of compassion and belonging during residents' later stages of life.

The community offers opportunities for engagement through the Association Jeanne Jugan, a volunteer program, and a Youth Service Program that connects younger people with the residents and mission of the center. These programs extend the community beyond the residents and staff to include supporters from the broader Kansas City area.
