For almost 10 years, Holbrock Estates has been dedicated to transforming the lives of senior adults in need. While our roots began in Virginia, our mission now centers on serving the senior community in Baltimore City, Maryland. Through our programs and professional services, we have helped more than 5,000 individuals—many of whom face significant physical, mental, or emotional challenges—find stability, support, and a renewed sense of purpose. At Holbrock Estates, we are committed to providing compassionate care that empowers seniors to live with dignity and improved quality of life.

Our Continued Support

With continued support from foundations, corporations, government agencies, and individuals, we are able to provide individualized and specialized services to those in need. Your contribution makes a difference in supporting programs that offer education, job training, life skills, stable housing, entitlement advocacy, healthy food and employment opportunities to individuals with disabilities or those experiencing financial hardship.

Our Mission

To assist economically disadvantaged, disabled and high-risk citizens of Baltimore City, Washington, D.C., and Prince Georges County with achieving their fullest potential through first meeting their basic needs of survival (housing and linkage to support services) from a holistic approach.

Our Vision

That individuals, regardless of disability or socio-economic status, reach their fullest potential. The capacity for individuals to realize this potential is often suppressed by homelessness, physical and emotional challenges and the inability to sufficiently meet one's own basic needs. We are committed to providing the necessary support that allows individuals to successfully stabilize and improve their lives to the extent they are able to give back to the Community.

Supportive Housing, Assisted Living, & Shelter Services

Eligibility

Any senior or disabled adult who desires compassionate care and support is welcome to apply to Holbrock Estates. Eligibility is based on a demonstrated need for our services and a willingness to participate in our supportive programs. Our community is designed for individuals with physical, mental, or emotional challenges that make independent living difficult. Residents must be open to engaging in the services we offer, which are intended to help manage health and well-being and enhance quality of life. Financial arrangements for residency will be discussed during the intake process.

The Housing Services Enrollment Process

In effort to make the services we offer more accessible at the time of need, we can assist with housing on the first day you encounter HolBrock Estates. Homelessness can be a barrier to your mental health treatment and overall wellness. If you have no income, and you meet certain eligibility guidelines, we can help you find funding to support your supportive housing cost. Our supportive housing units are shared and have the option of meals being included or not. Based on a program participant's need, HolBrock Estates will make an immediate behavioral health services referral to a vetted, community based, behavioral health provider with the goal of stabilization. The assisted living programs offer by HolBrock Estates are licensed by the Office of Health Care Quality.

A Continuum of Care, Tailored to You

At Holbrock Estates, we offer a range of senior living options designed to meet your unique needs. Whether you are an active, independent adult or require more specialized support, you will find a welcoming home with us.

Seniors enjoying an activity

Enjoy the "urban suburban mix" feel of Forest Park—a tranquil retreat surrounded by the green expanses of Hanlon Park, yet deeply connected to the heart of Baltimore. With convenient access to I-70 and I-83, a trip to the Inner Harbor, Camden Yards, or M&T Bank Stadium is just a short drive away.

You design your day, and we handle the rest.

When a little extra help makes all the difference, our Assisted Living program provides the perfect balance of support and autonomy. We partner with each resident and their family to develop a personalized care plan, providing discreet assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) like bathing, dressing, and mobility. Our professional team is available 24/7 to manage medications, coordinate with healthcare providers, and handle all the chores, including housekeeping and laundry. This support frees our residents to conserve their energy for the things that bring them joy—socializing, pursuing hobbies, and engaging with our vibrant community.
