context_page_description: St. Anne's Guest Home is a Catholic health care facility in Grand Forks, North Dakota, operated by sisters belonging to the Franciscan Sisters of Dillingen. It has been in operation for more than 70 years and is currently in its third location. St. Anne's offers two levels of services for residents; basic care and low rent housing.
context_section_description: St. Anne's Guest Home was founded in 1945 in Fargo, North Dakota, to address the needs of the elderly and vulnerable in the community.  The original facility in Fargo had 20 beds.
    
  In 1952 St. Anne's Guest Home moved to Grand Forks, converting St. Michael's Hospital and Nurses' Residence, built in 1907, into a 100-bed facility.  St. Anne's remained in this building until 1978 when they were forced to seek a new facility due to their inability to comply with fire safety codes in the old building.
  In 1981 St. Anne's re-opened in a building that had previously been a convent. The new building had two wings, a north wing and a south wing.  The South wing contains 47 "basic care units" and the North wing contains 30 low-rent efficiency apartments. 
  St. Anne's sustained some damage in the 1997 Red River flood, including the loss of the equipment they had used to make ice cream for their annual ice cream social. Nevertheless, they continued the tradition of hosting an annual ice cream social, which had begun in the 1980s. The ice cream social regularly draws crowds of 200 people.
