Saint Joseph Villa

care of the ill, aged, handicapped and convalescent Bernardine Franciscan Sisters

St. Joseph Villa is convent for retired Bernardine Franciscan Sisters and a care center for religious sisters, located adjacent to Alvernia University and the Motherhouse of the Bernardine Franciscan Sisters’ in Reading, Pennsylvania. Our care is guided by the principles of person-centered care; the emphasis of care is on the resident’s needs and preferences. Our goal is to maintain or enhance the quality of life of each resident by creating a culture of compassion in a homelike environment.
