St Columban's On The Lake Retirement Home

A sprawling English Tudor/Gothic building on the shores of Lake Erie is the serene setting of St. The home’s design and spacious grounds create a pleasant homelike atmosphere while providing support services for senior adults. Columban’s is located on 50 spacious acres overlooking the Lake Erie shore. Rolling landscaped lawns, a variety of gardens, wooded areas, walking paths, benches and a gazebo offer a park-like setting for residents’ enjoyment. The home was originally built by the
Columban Fathers in the 1920’s as a seminary
for young men preparing for the priesthood. In 1970, the building was acquired by the
Columban Sisters and remodeled as a home
for our elderly residents. Much of the beautiful
woodwork, windows and other unique features
of the building were retained. The home’s 57 private rooms (including
one- and two-bed suites) are fully carpeted and
furnished, although residents may bring their
own furnishings, if they choose. The parlor is
a beautiful room originally designed to house
artifacts brought from China by the Columban
fathers. Its décor includes an ornate ceiling
and China-blue floor tiles, a fireplace and a
baby grand piano. Other features include an
all-weather solarium, beautifully appointed
dining room, gift shop and on-site chapel.
