Overview of Malta House

For seniors, Malta House is the perfect place to stay active and engaged without the hassle of owning a home. Instead, they can focus on how to spend their days in the best way possible, doing what they love most. Plus, the affordability factor makes it ideal for low to moderate-income seniors and families. What sets Malta House apart from other assisted living communities is that it’s grounded in Catholic teachings and affiliated with Saint Mark, the Evangelist Church, and Saint John Baptist de la Salle. This adds a sense of belonging and comfort to the place, making it feel like a true home away from home. The healthcare services are impressive with rehabilitation, wound care, lab and imaging services, hospice care, podiatrist visits, and more.

Malta House also offers top-notch amenities such as a cozy living room with a fireplace, a well-stocked library, a media room, a garden with walking paths and fish ponds, Wi-Fi-enabled common areas, a beauty salon, and barber services. Living quarters at Malta House are spacious and allow residents to personalize their space with their personal touches like lifelong treasures and personal photos. This creates a true sense of home and belonging.
