Meet Our Residents

The everyday. The unexpected. The moments when the ordinary becomes so much more.

Hear the stories of life at Santa Marta from the only people that can share them – our residents.

Ann DeMaria

"I was attracted to Santa Marta's independent living and quality, and also the fact that it is a faith-based community. In that respect, I enjoy the ecumenical feeling here."

Mary Duerst

"We wanted to do this now, while we still can enjoy it. When you are 80, you don't want to have to drive to see your husband. We feel really safe here, and I have to say, the change has not been dramatic at all."

Roy Hruska

"I brought my golf clubs. I was also attracted to Santa Marta's concept of Life Care. I know that if I were to fall and break my hip, for instance, I could move over to skilled nursing to recover and then move back to my apartment when I'm able to take care of myself again. Everyone here is so friendly and accommodating. It's already become home."

Leslie Nordin

"What's not to like? Ten years ago, we were moving our parents into nursing homes. This type of option didn't exist."
