About our Founder: St. Camillus de Lellis was born in Bocchianico, Italy on May 25, 1550. His mother died when he was a child and he was neglected by his father. At age 16, he joined his father in the Venetian army and spent a number of years serving in the military. He became an avid gambler and by 1574, was penniless in Naples. At 24, he became a Capuchin novice, but was unable to be professed because of an infected leg that would remain with him for life. He committed to devoting himself to caring for the sick. In 1591, Pope Gregory
XIV approved and established the status of an Order called "Order of the Ministers of the Sick."
The History of St. Camillus Campus
St. Camillus began operations on the site in Wauwatosa in the early 1930's. The Order originally built a hospital designated for caring for men with chronic diseases. That original hospital was added onto several times and was changed to a nursing home in the 1960's, when the campus shifted services from acute care to subacute and services for the long-term care market. The campus also added a community house for the priests and brothers of the Order in the 1960's that eventually transitioned into an assisted living community and later into a memory care community. Both buildings were phased out of operations in 2018, to provide land for the East Residence independent living expansion.
The campus expanded further into senior care services with a home health agency established in 1985, followed by a private duty supportive services agency. The West Residence, formerly known as San Camillo (independent living), was built in 1989 and was added on to in 1992. St. Camillus Health and Rehabilitation Center, a 210-bed skilled nursing residence was built in 1990. The addition of this new building allowed the original hospital to be repurposed from a nursing home to an assisted living community. In 2006, it was decided that a strategic shift to reduce the nursing home bed count was needed, and the Health Center was remodeled to offer 76 assisted living apartments and a reduced 67 licensed nursing home beds. Today, the campus consists of 444 independent living, 76 assisted living and 65 memory care apartment homes, as well as 47 skilled nursing beds. Over 500 seniors proudly call St. Camillus Life Plan Community their home through the work of almost 600 employees.
