They own and run a nursing home which is attached (by a connecting enclosed hallway) to their very roomy convent!

Here's a link to the Holy Sprit Sisters of Perpetual Adoration (also called The Pink Sisters because of their habits). They have six convents in the Philippines; they have others in India, Europe, South America, and North America. I don't know if they accept older vocations, but you could contact the convent nearest you. When you click on this link, you'll find the addresses of each of the local convents but most of them don't have web sites. https://www.sspsap-motherhouse.nl/where-we-are/

Hi! Thanks for the info. May God be blessed forever.

In addition to those who may or may not accept older vocations, you really need to think about the essentials of religious life, such as charism and particular spiritualities. Communities are not interchangeable. What *kind* of contemplative life are you called to? Have you explored the different spiritualities? This is particularly important for someone who is older, as you almost surely have developed your own spiritual practices and inclinations over the years.

How about religious communities which would accept older vocation? Thank you.
