Saint Rose's is a 35-bed skilled nursing facility operated by the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne for incurable cancer patients. The first Saint Rose's was established in 1896 on Water Street, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Saint Rose's moved to its current location, just blocks away, in 1912. The home just completed a major renovation to beautify the facility and accommodate the latest advancements in safety and quality care standards.

Supported solely by voluntary donations from the public, Saint Rose's is a free home for persons who cannot afford to pay for care. No payment of any kind is accepted from patients or their families, nor from the government.

Insurance is not accepted, but patients with coverage may qualify for admission, depending on family circumstances.

The home is located off the FDR Drive in Manhattan. It provides palliative care to persons with incurable cancer who no longer require or desire further treatments. It is owned and staffed by the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne. Male nurses help the Sisters in the men's wards.

The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne do not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, or handicap.
