The Dominican Life Center

Anyone who has visited the Dominican Life Center knows it's no ordinary place. With an emphasis on life and the dignity of each resident, this continuum of care for the Adrian Dominican Sisters provides a holistic environment for Congregation members to live out their retirement years in community with one another.

The DLC is home to more than 260 sisters who live within the various levels of the continuum which includes independent, supported and assisted living, and intermediate and skilled care. Each resident is encouraged to be independent for as long as possible, and receives care designed to promote her dignity and all aspects of her well-being — physical, emotional, spiritual and social.

Through licensed professionals, the DLC provides these services to the sisters based on their needs within the continuum: nursing, clinic services, pastoral care, mental health, dietary, rehabilitation, resident services, transportation, environmental and maintenance.

Helping to meet and greet new residents and visitors are Sandy Marquez and Jan Perry-Anderson. Sandy is an administrative assistant, relating directly to Rosemary Abramovich, OP, administrator. Additionally, she relates to the administrative secretaries and receptionists who staff the front desk
of the DLC seven days a week, 365 days a year. Jan is Sister Rosemary's administrative assistant, and works on finances and special projects. She also helps sisters with furniture needs, telephones and computers.
