Bishop Drumm Retirement Center, situated on a scenic 15-acre campus, offers a Christian-based living environment that has thrived under the care and direction of the Sisters of Mercy since its inception in 1939. The center is a part of CHI Living Communities and provides a continuum of care, serving as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). Bishop Drumm's variety of residential options ensures a suitable living environment for seniors seeking to 'age in place.' The community's mission is rooted in the Christian approach to care, with the culture of empathy and understanding being the cornerstone of the compassionate services offered. With living options that include the Bishop Drumm Care Center for licensed skilled nursing, Martina Place Assisted Living Residence for certified assisted living, and McAuley Terrace for independent living, residents' needs are met at each level of care. The affiliation with CommonSpirit Health widens the scope of comprehensive care available, encompassing independent and assisted living, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation services. The CCRC model enables residents to remain within the Bishop Drumm community even as their care needs evolve, providing a seamless transition between levels of care.
