Update: The Little Sisters of the Poor have now closed. After a presence in North St. Louis for around 150 years, the Little Sisters of the Poor sold their campus on December 28, 2022. The new owner is operating a homeless shelter in the building called Sisters Mission.

The Little Sisters of the Poor’s Nursing Home have announced the closure of their nursing home in the St. Louis Place neighborhood. They have been unable to find an operator, but I hope they maintain 24/7 security after it closes, or it will almost certainly end up like this.
