St. Columban's on the Lake was established in 1970 by the Columban Sisters whose experience and dedication in caring for people is well-known in the health, education and social work fields. While active in Buffalo, Silver Creek and the surrounding communities since 1930, the sisters’ missionary work has also carried them as far away as Chile, China/Hong Kong, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, Korea, Myanmar (Burma), England, Ireland, Scotland and the United States.

The dedicated sisters, staff and volunteers provide St. Columban’s with a Christian atmosphere of love and respect where each person is special. We are dedicated to
providing our residents with the security, independence and affordability that make retirement living the way it should be.


FACILITIES

A sprawling English Tudor/Gothic building on the shores of Lake Erie is the serene setting of St. Columban’s on the Lake Retirement Home. The home’s design and spacious grounds create a pleasant homelike atmosphere while providing support services for senior adults. St. 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 50 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.
