How Faith Influences Care in Assisted Living and Memory Care at Santa Marta

If you’re considering assisted living or memory care for a loved one, you want what’s best for them and to know that they are treated with compassion and respect. The name Santa Marta is inspired by the protective spirit of Martha, the patron saint of innkeepers, cooks, and others who serve. Our community strives to embody the spirit of grace and loving service in every aspect of our hospitality. Santa Marta is a nonprofit community sponsored by the Archdiocese of Kansas City, Kansas, and is open to people of all faiths and backgrounds.

The Benefits of Faith-Based Assisted Living and Memory Care

The biggest benefit of choosing a community with religious roots is that you can easily maintain your current practices. Other benefits include:

• Shared values: At Santa Marta, our faith is a part of every decision, from our mission statement to our plans for daily activities, to our senior care. We also embrace the beliefs of our residents by providing church and spiritual services, offering Bible studies, and by observing religious holidays.
• Supportive community of friends: If you turn to your faith for support during difficult times, a faith-based assisted living and memory care can provide a sense of comfort and familiarity.
• Being included: At Santa Marta, faith is not seen as a set of rules to follow, but as a way of life that includes compassion for others, connection with community, and a desire to aspire to something greater than ourselves.

Compassionate Assisted Living Care

With 45 assisted living apartments, Santa Marta assisted living features a well-trained person-centered support based on your family member’s individual needs, preferences, and established routine, allowing them to continue to pursue their interests their way.
