When the Sisters of St. Joseph founded Saint Mary's Home of Erie in 1884, they were meeting the needs of the people and the era in the Erie community.

“We continue that distinct mission today,” says Anthony Allegretto, the Director of Marketing at Saint Mary's. “We strive to serve and grow the region's older population through our mission of “Loving to Care.”

Saint Mary's Home of Erie is comprised of two campuses that serve the community — Saint Mary's East and Saint Mary's at Asbury Ridge. It is a continuing care retirement community that is sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Northwestern Pennsylvania.

Saint Mary's continues to grow in order to meet community needs. Most recently, Saint Mary's East completed a $21 million addition and renovation project that enhanced the campus to feature all private nursing rooms with attached European showers and countless additional amenities. The Asbury Ridge Campus is also in the process of completing 26 independent living carriage homes known as The Carriage Homes at Asbury Ridge.

“Through these projects, we are making a commitment to Erie and, specifically, our neighborhoods,” Allegretto says. “Saint Mary's wants to be a part of revitalizing our community.”

Available services include: adult day services, independent living, residential living, personal care, skilled nursing, Alzheimer's care, respite care and speech/occupational/physical therapies. In 2013, Saint Mary's continued the growth of available services with the announcement of respiratory therapy, palliative care and home care.

In addition to serving seniors, Phyllis McCracken, SSJ, President/CEO, along with the board of trustees and administration, continue the tradition of employee education, volunteerism and good stewardship in Erie. Allegretto explains, “Saint Mary's commitment of “Loving to Care” is evident in both the seniors we serve and the region in which we live.”When the Sisters of St. Joseph founded Saint Mary's Home of Erie in 1884, they were meeting the needs of the people and the era in the Erie community.
