For over 50 years, Nazareth House has followed the mission of the congregation of the Sisters of Nazareth by caring for the elderly in Los Angeles as well as those who are without family or finances.

At Nazareth House we provide a professional and home environment that is warm, caring and spiritual, where each person is given quality holistic care, is respected, appreciated and treated with great love and dignity. This ensures that our residents are able to live their lives to their full potential within a comfortable, caring and supportive community. When they depart this life, they do so in peace and with dignity, surrounded by the love and prayers of the Sisters.

The Congregation of the Sisters of Nazareth was founded in London in the mid-1800s by Victoire Larmenier, a young French woman, when she was just 24 years old. This was requested by Cardinal Wiseman, who needed help in caring for the aged and poor. Later, the Sisters extended their mission to include homeless and abandoned children. Victoire was born in July 21, 1827 in Brittany, France. Before leaving France, she spent some time with the group of 'Pious Women' later known as the Little Sisters of the Poor.

Assisted by lay administration and nursing staff, and a small army of volunteers, the Sisters of Nazareth continue to uphold the core values of Victoire Larmenier, which are as timeless as humanity: Justice, Patience, Love, Respect, Compassion and Hospitality.

MISSION STATEMENT

We, the Sisters of Nazareth, founded by Victoire Larmenier and inspired by the spirit of the Gospels, are committed to the mission entrusted to us by the Church. Together with the people of God, we aim to present the love of Christ to all, especially the poor, through the ministry of care and education. We value and respect the dignity of each human being, based on the words of Christ. "You did it to me." Matt. 25:40
