“The values of franciscan communities, inc. Include: 1. Respect: reflect god in all we do; 2. Dedication: passionately carry forward this ministry entrusted to us; 3. Stewardship: responsibly using the gift of our resources; 4. Joy: give from our hearts.”

“Gift of care: for more than 110 years, franciscan sisters of chicago, our foundress, mother mary theresa dudzik, and franciscan communities have fulfilled the desperate need of the elderly and the underserved. The gift of care program is one of the ways developed to provide additional outreach services to the underprivileged population. Long-term care is very expensive and many will not be able to pay for all of the necessary services out of his or her own income and resources. That is where the gift of care can help. Commitment: the gift of care is a commitment by franciscan communities to underwrite all or a portion of a resident's care for a specific period of time. It is based upon defined criteria. As a not-for-profit organization, franciscan communities promotes and cares for the interests of older adults in an environment of dignified living, caring and compassion. In the spirit and tradition of the catholic church, the franciscan sisters of chicago and our foundress, mother mary theresa dudzik, have been of service to the needy and the poor for over 110 years. This program is one of the ways we address the spiritual needs of the community and those served through pastoral care services, including chapel services. Each franciscan community strives to provide the gift of care program for applicants and existing residents, who desperately need financial assistance with the expenses associated with our compassionate services. Depending on the individual circumstances, a person may be either fully or partially supported financially. Charity care provided by franciscan communities in fiscal 2015 amounted to $427,000 with unreimbursed care of $5,145,000.”
