Archcare expands ministry as new
sponsor of Providence Rest Nursing Home
ArchCare, the healthcare
system of the Archdiocese of
New York, announced today
that it has assumed sponsorship
of Providence Rest Nursing
Home, a fi ve-star-rated,
200-bed skilled nursing and
rehabilitation center in the
Bronx served by the Sisters
of St. John the Baptist. The
combination extends and
enhances the ministries of
two of the region’s most respected
Catholic long-term
care institutions while ensuring
the long-term sustainability
of Providence
Rest’s mission at a time of
mounting economic and regulatory
challenges for faithbased,
non-profi t healthcare
providers.
The change in sponsorship,
which is effective immediately,
further deepens
the longstanding collaborative
relationship between
the providers while positioning
Providence Rest to play
a more integral role in the
archdiocesan health system.
ArchCare at Providence
Rest will be the sixth skilled
nursing facility in the Arch-
Care system, which cares for
more than 9,000 people daily
in their homes, in the community
and in the archdiocese’s
fi ve top-ranked nursing
homes in Manhattan,
Staten Island, the Bronx and
Dutchess County.
Current Providence Rest
residents and their families
will continue to be cared for
by the same team of professional
caregivers they know
and trust, while gaining
seamless access to a much
more diverse range of care
options and settings.
“Providence Rest has
been blessed for many
years to have the support
of ArchCare,” said Sister
Claudette Jaszczynski, provincial
superior of the Sisters
of St. John the Baptist.
“As we worked together, it
became abundantly clear
that our complementary
missions and deep Catholic
roots made us far stronger
together than apart. With
ArchCare as Providence
Rest’s sponsor, the Sisters
can look forward to caring
for residents and families
as they always have as part
of a larger and more diverse
healthcare system.”
