Constructed in 2001, the Health Center has an assisted living floor, home to 40 Sisters; and a skilled nursing floor, home to another 40. Importantly, the Health Center is an extension of the Mount Notre Dame Convent with Sisters participating in the social, governance and spiritual activities of the Congregation. Sisters from other Notre Dame provinces also have the option of retiring here.

The Health Center is ranked the top best long-term care facilities in the state by the State of Ohio, and has consistently received perfect scores – no deficiencies – from the Ohio Department of Health, including during the pandemic.

In many instances, a frail elderly person with in-home medical services can remain in his or her home instead of transitioning to a healthcare facility. In many instances too, this person can stay with children or grandchildren. For the Sisters, neither of these are options. Instead, they return to the home most have known all their lives; they return to Mount Notre Dame.
