Saint Mary's Home

Saint Mary's HomeWebsite:  http://www.stmaryshome.org

Saint Mary's Home of Erie, a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Northwestern Pennsylvania, opened its doors on Sept. 21, 1884 as one of the first homes in the country dedicated to the aged.  The Sisters wanted to provide a place to live for the elderly -- many of whom were recovering from illness and given shelter in the Sisters’ hospitals.  Saint Mary's Home evolved to continually meet the needs of the community.  It became a geriatric hospital in the 1950s, and later, a nursing facility.  In 1991, the Gallagher Center, a freestanding dementia-nursing unit, was added. In 2001, a second facility, Saint Mary's at Asbury Ridge opened.  In 2005, Saint Mary's Home of Erie became a licensed Continuing Care Retirement Community, and is currently expanding its services with the construction of 26 independent-living carriage homes for seniors, The Carriage Homes at Asbury Ridge.
