The Carmelite Sisters came here in 1947, and we continue our ministry of medical and spiritual care for the elderly of the Columbus area.

The Villas at Saint Therese opened in 1999. Since then, we have cared for hundreds of older adults who were in that ‘gray area’ – those not needing skilled nursing care, but in need of a safe, supportive home.

Residents make their studio-style apartment their own, by furnishing it with their own familiar belongings. Their own bed, a favorite chair, cherished photos and collections.

Our apartments have a kitchenette with a microwave, refrigerator/freezer and kitchen-style cabinets and sink. The handicapped equipped bathrooms with a walk-in shower foster your independence, but staff is always available to assist you with your activities of daily living as needed.
