Helping Residents Embrace Living

Founded in 1992, the mission of St. John’s Foundation is to support St. John’s in bringing joy and purpose to the lives of seniors in our care. Donations directly impact the people served by St. John’s: more than 900 residents, resident families, and nearly 700 staff.

  • Creative arts; recreational and social programs including concerts and musical performances, art exhibitions, art and music therapy; and activities that encourage seniors to explore the greater community
  • Spiritual and religious programming, including interfaith worship services; remembrance services and grief support; and chaplain support for a diverse cultural and religious community
  • Physical fitness activities, including walks, hikes, swim exercise classes, chair exercise, yoga, Qi Gong, and Tai chi
  • Residents’ special needs
  • Staff development and appreciation activities
