Martha and Mary Health Service

Nestled along the picturesque shores of Liberty Bay in Poulsbo, Washington—affectionately known as "Little Norway"—Martha and Mary Health Service has long been a trusted cornerstone of skilled nursing care on the Kitsap Peninsula. Located on Front Street Northeast, the facility sits at the heart of one of Puget Sound's most beloved small communities, offering residents and their families the rare combination of clinical excellence and small-town warmth. Martha and Mary provides comprehensive skilled nursing services, including post-acute rehabilitation, long-term nursing care, wound management, and complex medical support. The dedicated clinical staff works closely with residents, families, and physicians to develop individualized care plans that prioritize dignity, comfort, and recovery. Poulsbo's setting is a genuine gift for seniors. The iconic Poulsbo waterfront and marina are just steps away, offering calming views of Liberty Bay and the Olympic Mountains. Families visiting loved ones can stroll the charming shops and bakeries along Front Street, stop in at the legendary Sluys Poulsbo Bakery, or enjoy a meal at one of the town's well-regarded local restaurants. Raab Park and the Poulsbo Waterfront Park provide accessible green space for outdoor time, while the Poulsbo Marine Science Center offers engaging activities for visiting grandchildren. For medical needs beyond on-site care, St. Michael Medical Center in nearby Silverdale—roughly 10 miles south—provides full hospital services including emergency care, cardiology, and orthopedics. The Kitsap Mall area in Silverdale also offers convenient access to pharmacies, specialty medical offices, and major retailers. As an individually owned, for-profit facility, Martha and Mary Health Service operates with a personal accountability that distinguishes it from large corporate chains. Leadership is invested in the community it serves—many staff members are local residents who bring genuine connection and continuity to the care they provide. For families navigating the complexities of skilled nursing placement on the Kitsap Peninsula, Martha and Mary represents a trusted, community-rooted choice in one of Washington State's most beautiful and livable small cities.
