A home. Not a program.

A family. Not a placement.

The Sisterhood is LaRica Grant's private home.

At 1600 W. Diamond Street in Philadelphia, LaRica - a certified nonmedical assisted living administrator, licensed caregiver, cook, and direct care worker - welcomes women veterans into her family. Not into a program. Not into a facility. Into her home.

The Sisterhood is completely standalone and entirely separate from the Jackie's House reentry program. It exists for one reason: because women who served this country deserve to come home to safety, dignity, and someone who genuinely cares.

The Sisterhood opens November 1, 2026.

Three private rooms are available.

Room 1 - Wheelchair accessible first floor suite with a private en-suite bathroom and dedicated accessible parking. For a woman veteran who self-transfers.

Rooms 2 and 3 - Private bedroom for ambulatory women veterans.

All residents receive meals, medication reminders, daily living support, and the presence of a live-in caregiver available around the clock. LaRica provides all care personally.

WHO THE SISTERHOOD IS FOR

The Sisterhood is for women veterans who need a safe, private, supportive home environment with personal care without all of the restrictions a facility would have. This is your home. We have safety measures of course but you will treat it like it's your own home accept with 24/7 supportive care. Women veterans are encouraged to apply. Multiple payment options are available. Rates are well below comparable private residential care in Philadelphia. Contact us for current availability.

The Sisterhood is not a medical facility. It is a home - with all the warmth, care, and belonging that word is supposed to mean.
