Caritas House is an assisted living community located on the campus of Our Lady of the Angels in Catonsville, Baltimore, Maryland. As a faith-based organization with Catholic roots, Caritas House provides residential and supportive services for older adults requiring varying levels of personal and medical care. The facility offers both private and semi-private accommodations, designed to foster community living and resident comfort.
The care and medical support at Caritas House centers around assisted living, with nursing coverage available between 12 and 16 hours each day. Licensed nursing staff and caregivers provide diabetes management services, including monitoring blood sugar levels and assisting with insulin or other medication administration. Medication management is an integral service, ensuring residents receive the correct dosages at the right times. Podiatry services are available, addressing routine foot health and specific medical concerns. Caritas House implements incontinence care systems to maintain resident dignity and comfort, and ambulatory assistance is offered for those who need support moving throughout the facility. In addition, residents have access to a mental wellness program that supports emotional and psychological well-being in a structured, caring environment.
Assistance with activities of daily living is tailored to individual needs. Staff members are available to provide some physical help with bathing, dressing, and toileting. Residents are supported with eating through self-care, encouraging independence where possible. The community emphasizes personal choice while providing reliable oversight to ensure health and safety.
Transportation arrangements for non-medical purposes are available through the community. This service supports residents’ ability to attend local events, run errands, or visit friends and family, contributing to continued social engagement and quality of life outside the facility.
In terms of resident and family experiences, feedback reveals a dual perspective. Many families and new residents note a smooth and supportive admission process, reporting that staff are accommodating and attentive during transitions. There is general satisfaction with the quality of basic care, including meals and medication assistance, and an appreciation for the kindness and patience of caregiving staff. By contrast, a negative account from a former employee raises concerns about internal staff treatment, including morale, support, and possible understaffing, suggesting that organizational challenges may be present behind the scenes. Families generally report positive interactions with staff, but employee accounts point to potential issues within management and workplace culture.
Overall, Caritas House offers a range of assisted living services in a faith-based environment, supporting residents’ personal care, medical needs, and daily living activities, with both positive family experiences and some reported internal organizational concerns.
