Stoddard Baptist Nursing Home

Stoddard Baptist Nursing Home has served Washington, DC's Columbia Heights community for decades, offering skilled nursing care rooted in a tradition of faith-inspired compassion and professional excellence. Located on Newton Street NW, the facility sits in the heart of one of DC's most dynamic and culturally rich neighborhoods—providing residents with both exceptional care and a vibrant community surroundings. As a nonprofit corporation with deep ties to the Baptist community, Stoddard Baptist operates with a mission to honor the dignity of every resident through individualized, respectful care. Skilled nursing services include 24-hour licensed nursing supervision, post-acute rehabilitation, wound and ostomy care, medication management, and social services support. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists work daily with residents to support recovery and maximize functional independence. Columbia Heights is one of DC's most energetic and diverse neighborhoods. The Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow Lines is steps away, providing easy access for family members commuting from across the metro region. DC USA—a major retail complex on 14th Street NW—offers Target, Best Buy, and a variety of shops and restaurants within walking distance. The 11th Street NW dining corridor has become one of DC's most celebrated restaurant rows, with acclaimed spots like Maple, Espita Mezcaleria, and Timber Pizza drawing residents from across the city. Howard University, a historic HBCU just blocks to the south, adds a rich cultural and intellectual presence to the neighborhood, while Howard University Hospital provides high-quality acute care nearby. Children's National Medical Center on Michigan Avenue NE is also close at hand for pediatric family needs. MedStar Washington Hospital Center—the region's largest private hospital—is accessible within minutes. Rock Creek Park's southern trails and the pleasantly landscaped Meridian Hill Park (also known as Malcolm X Park) offer beautiful outdoor spaces for residents and families to enjoy. Stoddard Baptist Nursing Home's nonprofit mission ensures that care decisions are always guided by compassion, community commitment, and resident well-being above all else.
