Saint Martin's Home of Baltimore is an extraordinary assisted living community in Catonsville, Maryland. It is within scenic Baltimore County which is part of the Old Line State.
St. Martin’s Home is located in a beautiful wooded setting. Our building does not look like your typical nursing home—because it isn’t! We offer a continuum of care in a home-like, non-institutional setting.
Levels of care include:
- Independent living apartments for low-income seniors
- Assisted living
- Skilled nursing care (Medicaid and Medicare certified)
What is unique about St. Martin’s Home?
- The Little Sisters live at St. Martin’s and are available 24/7 to respond to Residents’ needs.
- The Little Sisters assure a constant presence with the Residents who are dying.
- We take a spiritual approach to aging—exemplified by the central location of the chapel, the presence of a full-time chaplain, daily Mass and rosary, and regular availability of the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.
- All Resident bedrooms in assisted living and most in skilled nursing are single occupancy, with private bathrooms (some rooms also have private showers).
- Although each apartment has kitchen facilities, apartment Residents are welcome to enjoy home-style meals in one of St. Martin’s dining rooms as often as they wish, free of charge.
The Little Sisters of the Poor are an international congregation of Roman Catholic women religious founded in 1839 by Saint Jeanne Jugan. Together with a diverse network of collaborators, we serve the elderly poor in over 30 countries around the world.
Continuing the work of Saint Jeanne Jugan, our MISSION is to offer the neediest elderly of every race and religion a home where they will be welcomed as Christ, cared for as family and accompanied with dignity until God calls them to himself.
Our VISION is to contribute to the Culture of Life by nurturing communities where each person is valued, the solidarity of the human family and the wisdom of age are celebrated, and the compassionate love of Christ is shared with all.
Our VALUES
REVERENCE for the sacredness of human life and for the uniqueness of each person, especially those who are poorest and/or weakest. This is reflected in care that is holistic and person-centered.
FAMILY SPIRIT: a spirit of joyful hospitality embracing all with open arms, hearts and minds; fostering participation in the life of the home and rejecting all forms of discrimination.
HUMBLE SERVICE: the desire to raise others up and to put their needs before our own; an appreciation of simple, everyday tasks and experiences and humble means in accomplishing our work.
COMPASSION: empathy for sharing the weaknesses and sufferings of others; eagerness to relieve pain in all its forms and to make the elderly happy.
STEWARDSHIP: the recognition that life and all other goods are gifts from God and should therefore be used responsibly for the good of all; trust in God’s Providence and the generosity of others to provide for our needs; just compensation for our collaborators; a spirit of gratitude and sharing.
