The Little Sisters of the Poor, elderly Residents, employees, associates Jeanne Jugan,  volunteers and friends and benefactors form a big family of Saint Jeanne Jugan. A great family spirit reigns among all. The elderly people render an enormous service in the Home, to one another and keep alive the family spirit. The employees are the close collaborators with the Little Sisters. In general, they sincerely love our Residents.

Meals are served three times a day besides refreshments in between. The Associates and volunteers offer their help whenever possible. Friends and benefactors extend their help with financial assistance, so also by sponsoring meals and providing provisions & toiletries for the Home.

School children and college students visit the Home and the elderly, some of them even do internship in the Home. Some groups conduct games and organize entertainments for the Residents.
