Unique or Distinctive Qualities:

St. Peter's is located in the Southwest section of Baltimore City near the University of Maryland complex. The agency is housed in a historical structure dating from the mid 19th century. What makes St. Peter's unique is it's small size and homelike atmosphere which allows the services to be holistic in nature. A dedicated staff with little turnover allows individualistic care and easy communication among the families and/or caregivers. The staff is encouraged to be innovative and creative in the programs that are offered. St. Peter's has a very progressive art program, a travelling choir, and is currently rehearsing for its first theatrical production

St. Peter's has created a Day Extension Program. This is for individuals who are funded for the Day Habilitation Program but have indicated a desire to be out in the community on a regular basis doing group volunteer work under the supervision of staff. The supported employment program at St. Peter's is based on Person-centered Planning. The staff at St. Peter's has been able to network with several area employers and benefits from its geographical location near to downtown and inner harbor area of the City.
