Welcome to Caritas House

Caritas House Assisted Living is part of the Jenkins Senior Living Community, a long-standing senior community set on a scenic hill overlooking Baltimore. It is a 60-unit studio apartment community located off Interstate-95, next to St. Agnes Hospital. If you would like to learn more about assisted living, read our FAQ, or call Barbara Kendrick at (410) 646-6600 or email bkendrick@cc-md.org.

Caritas House Assisted Living provides care to seniors who require some help in performing daily activities and can no longer live independently. Residents can receive assistance with bathing, meals, toileting, dressing and similar activities. Assisted living also offers medication management, housekeeping, laundry, and recreational and cultural activities.

Thelma, who lives at Caritas House, says, “Living here has actually helped me become even more independent. As much as I love my children and family, living at Caritas House has given me an extended family with friends to laugh with and great times together." Read more from residents of Caritas House...

Residents of Caritas House have a comfortable, home-like living environment. They enjoy two fireplaces, an enclosed garden and a private dining room, available for family celebrations. The mental, physical and spiritual well being of our residents is at the core of our mission. Caritas House offers a nurturing pastoral care program. This program can assist residents and their families through the transition to a new home and with any of their spiritual needs. We also offer daily Mass, weekly Ecumenical services and pastoral care visits.

Caritas House is a non-smoking facility. Residents are not allowed to smoke in the building or on the grounds. Residents may not have smoking material or matches in their rooms.
