No, we believe in serving all those in need regardless of their personal ability to pay.

Do you have good staffing ratios?

Can my pet visit me?

Yes, we have several pets that come to visit each day. Pets are welcome to come visit as long as they are under control and safe to be around other people. Our staff would be happy to address more specific questions about your particular situation.

Do I have to be Lutheran to be admitted into Martha & Mary?

No, we accept and respect people regardless of faith, belief, or background. In fact, many of the spiritual care services that we offer are “ecumenical” in nature.

Where does the name Martha & Mary come from?

Our founder selected the name from the Biblical story of Martha and Mary and the evening Jesus visited their home.  The story, found in Luke 10:38-42, examines the importance of spiritual values over material business. This story reminds us that while each of us are called to serve in different ways, we can never become so busy with tasks that we forget the value of relationships with those around us.
