Citizens Care Center

Citizens Care Center, located at 415 South Market Street in historic Havre de Grace, Maryland, is a nonprofit skilled nursing facility dedicated to providing compassionate, community-rooted care for seniors along the upper Chesapeake Bay. Operated as a nonprofit organization, Citizens Care Center places mission above margin—prioritizing the dignity, comfort, and wellbeing of every resident over financial return. Havre de Grace is one of Maryland's most beloved waterfront towns, consistently recognized for its small-town charm, walkable streets, and stunning views where the Susquehanna River flows into the northern reaches of the Chesapeake Bay. Residents and their families enjoy proximity to Tydings Memorial Park, a beautifully maintained waterfront park along the bay offering pavilions, picnic areas, and scenic walking paths. The Havre de Grace Waterfront Promenade stretches for nearly a mile along the water, providing an accessible and serene setting for leisurely strolls. The Havre de Grace Decoy Museum on Giles Street celebrates the town's rich waterfowl hunting heritage and is a beloved local attraction that families often visit during trips to see loved ones. The historic Concord Point Lighthouse, one of the oldest continuously operated lighthouses on the East Coast, stands as a landmark of the town's storied maritime history. For dining, local favorites like Tidewater Grille and MacGregor's Restaurant & Tavern offer waterfront dining experiences unique to this charming community. For medical needs, the University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center in nearby Bel Air provides full-service acute hospital care for the region, ensuring that Citizens Care Center residents have access to comprehensive specialist services when needed. Citizens Care Center's nonprofit status reflects a deep commitment to the residents it serves—reinvesting resources into staffing, programming, and quality improvements rather than shareholder returns. The skilled nursing team provides 24-hour clinical care, rehabilitation therapies, and long-term support in an environment that feels far more like home than institution.
