Jennings

Jennings offers choices in a continuum of residences and services that support the freedom of independent living through the comfort of long-term nursing care. Jennings recognizes the right to privacy through exclusively private suites for all residences regardless of the level of care. Bringing the outside in, the familiar combination of neighborhood and home is evident in the daily sights and sounds of a community that knows no boundaries. Amid the backdrop of children’s laughter, the aroma of gardens and the companionship of pets, the pulse of our community is a seamless celebration of life as we know it. The Holy Spirit Villas is an independent lifestyle option for seniors who wish to maintain a private home in the Jennings community. Each comfortable home is fully furnished with appliances and needs only your personal touch with furniture and home furnishings. In addition, individuals have access to the convenience of activities and supportive services, as well as the many campus amenities such as the on-site Chapel and Wellness Center. The villas have many inclusive benefits and services for your convenience. The monthly maintenance fee includes all utilities, except phone service. In addition, the real estate taxes are inclusive in the lease agreement. Peace of mind is knowing that additional support is nearby, should an individual’s health needs change, even temporarily. Our namesake is a memorial to Monsignor Gilbert P. Jennings. Monsignor Jennings was the founding pastor of St. Agnes Parish, then located on Superior Avenue near the old Cleveland Playhouse. Considered to be a socially progressive thinker, Monsignor Jennings was truly a visionary in meeting the needs of his people. Upon his death on April 17, 1941, Monsignor Jennings gave life to a new era of senior care. Having inherited a large sum of money from the estate of his brother, Monsignor Jennings designated in his will that a rest home is built. His vision was to provide safe, comfortable and affordable housing for aging citizens who would not otherwise be able to provide for themselves with a suitable home. What has evolved in his memory is a campus community with a full continuum of care, services and progressive programs that inspire and celebrate life. Monsignor Jennings’ legacy of love continues today through the steadfast dedication of the Sisters of the Holy Spirit, as well as the generous hearts and hands of our staff, volunteers and benefactors. By bringing together the sights, sounds, and traditions of neighborhood, family, and faith, we remain true to Monsignor Jennings’ vision of a vibrant and compassionate community with the familiar feeling of home.
