Ave Maria Home Assisted Living is a faith-based community dedicated to providing exceptional care for seniors in a supportive and nurturing environment. At the heart of its mission is the commitment to assist the aged, sick, and destitute, embracing a vision of excellence as the Mid-South’s premier Catholic long-term care community. Residents of Ave Maria Home enjoy access to a variety of inpatient and outpatient programs that are thoughtfully designed to enrich their lives, encourage fulfillment, and support aging in place with dignity and respect.
A distinctive feature of Ave Maria Home is its radical departure from traditional nursing and long-term care. The community embraces a small-home model that places emphasis on returning control and a sense of well-being to elders. This approach means that seniors receive highly personalized, high-quality care while maintaining their dignity and autonomy. The care provided is holistic, addressing the varied needs of residents in a way that supports their overall health and happiness.
Ave Maria Home offers comprehensive rehabilitation services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy. These therapy programs are delivered in a holistic environment with the primary goal of helping seniors regain their previous level of functioning. For those recovering from injury or illness, the Fatima House provides short-term rehabilitation designed to help residents get stronger and resume their independence as quickly as possible. By nurturing both physical and emotional well-being, Ave Maria Home ensures every individual receives the support they need on their journey to recovery.
The community thrives through the participation of volunteers and staff who are invited to contribute their time and talents in enriching the lives of residents. Recognizing the importance of purpose and engagement, Ave Maria Home encourages both residents and employees to partake in meaningful activities that foster belonging and vitality. The organization welcomes donations and support from the broader community, with the Ave Maria Endowment offering peace of mind and security for residents who may outlive their financial resources, ensuring continued care and comfort.
At its core, Ave Maria Home is anchored in faith, compassion, and service, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for seniors seeking a supportive environment for assisted living. Every aspect of the community is designed to allow residents to live life to the fullest, surrounded by care, respect, and the assurance that their needs will be met every step of the way.
