There's a nice post this morning on Imelda Maurer's blog "Providence Women" about Teresian House:
The living proof that Teresian House is really HOME, and that the elders who live there feel at home, is evidenced by the following which is shared with you with Sister Mary’s permission.
Sister Mary Ranney is a 95-year-old Religious of the Sacred Heart. She moved from the convent retirement center, Kenwood, to Teresian House (located on Washington Ave), some months ago. She wrote the following which was included in the Sisters’ community-wide newsletter. (‘Bunny’ is the name of one of the Sisters who visit there weekly. There are, incidentally, Sisters there every day VISITING, HELPING, ADVOCATING, as a part of their job description.)

Teresian House: a Kenwood on Washington Ave!
“So much has been said of our new home, and so well expressed, that it is difficult to add to the picture. For me, one thing is different! Here, we walk in circles, no straight lines. Surprisingly, we get there! A circle to the chapel, He is in it; a circle to the dining room, friends await us; a circle to the front door, guests on hand; a circle to Bunny’s class and we get lost! I notice too, there is more light in circles, more love in circling hugs, more joy in enlarging our circle, more peace to have come full circle”
