St. Rita's Floral Nook

Women of retirement age

At Saint Rita's Flowery Nook, in addition to young women experiencing homelessness, we also welcome Women of retirement age — those who, due to low or no benefits, do not have their own housing and need a safe, dignified home for the autumn of their lives.

Condition the candidate must be independent in daily functioning — she can take care of basic daily activities herself (hygiene, meals, mobility). We do not provide nursing or medical care as in a social care home — we offer community, safety, and dignified living conditions.
Scales of justice

Electronic monitoring (SDE)

We of all Foundation Houses — both in the Domach Świętego Łazarza and Kwiatowym Zakątku Świętej Rity — there is the possibility of serving sentences under Electronic Surveillance System. Individuals who have received court approval for SDE may reside in the House under standard rules, provided they comply with the Foundation's regulations and the supervision conditions.

👤 Individual approach

Every candidate's situation is different. We reserve the right to take an individual approach that will allow for appropriate assistance after a thorough analysis of their life situation. If your situation does not fit standard criteria — Call or text. Let's talk.
