Holy Family Guest Home, which is operated by the Presentation Sisters, opened its doors on May 25, 1964. The Home is licensed for 38 beds by the North Dakota State Department of Health, for skilled and intermediate care. The Home, a non-profit institution is operated and owned by the Sisters of the Presentation of the Diocese of Fargo.

Holy Family serves all people regardless of race, color or creed, with 15 double rooms and 8 single rooms. The rooms have modern furnishings, with sufficient space for each individual's belongings. Each room has a nurse's call and intercom room telephone and paging system.

Holy Family is attached physically to Carrington Hospital. When any resident needs hospitalization, he or she is transferred to a hospital bed. Holy Family is served by three excellent doctors; it has about 35 full and part-time workers.

The Activity Room is a busy place. Presided over by an experienced activity director, the residents are engaged in doing woodwork, ceramics, sewing and other handiwork.

Volunteers work in many ways, including hairdressing, grooming for the residents and shopping trips with residents.

A great concern of the residents is the religious aspects of their lives. The Chapel in the building is open to all and Catholic Services are held daily. Ministers from the community take turns in holding services each Wednesday.

Residents are recognized as individuals who have ideas of their own about the Home operation. A resident council has been organized for several years. The group has a right to express its opinions, offer suggestions and enter into the planning of activities each month.
