Residents enjoying the garden at Maria Old Age Home
welcome home, Evander

A home grown with love, right here in Evander

Maria Old Age Home is a warm, family-run home where our elderly are cared for with dignity, kept close to community, and never short of a friendly hand on the shoulder.

our story

Family first. Always has been.

Tucked away on Toulouse Street, Maria Old Age Home has become a second family for the elders who live here — and for the families who trust us with them. We believe growing older should never mean growing lonely.

Our days are unhurried. There's tea in the lounge, sunshine on the lawn, hymns on a Sunday, and always someone nearby to hold a hand, share a story, or simply sit a while. Whether a resident needs a wheelchair, a walking stick, or just good company, our caregivers are there — patient, present, and proud of the work they do.

We're a small home with a big heart, and we'd love for you to come see it for yourself.

— with love, the Maria Old Age Home family
