Over a century of care
Edenwald’s history of caring goes back more than a century. It began in June 1881, when The General German Aged People’s Home of Baltimore, Edenwald’s predecessor, was officially incorporated by the State of Maryland.
Created as a secure, caring and comfortable haven for older German citizens, this facility became known as The Greisenheim. Originally, it was located in downtown Baltimore. The Greisenheim moved in 1936 to a modern, gracious structure in the Irvington section of the city.
In the early 1980s, as we entered our second century of outstanding care,The Greisenheim merged with another senior adult care facility. Needing room for more growth, land in Towson was purchased from Goucher College, where we became the Edenwald that is well-known and respected today. In September 1985, construction of our luxurious high-rise community was completed.
Since then, our beautiful, yet personable setting has continued to evolve. Currently, Edenwald is in the middle of an historic expansion of our facility and services. To learn more about this project, click here.
Edenwald is honored to be accredited by The Continuing Care Accreditation Commission (CCAC) of the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), the nation's only accrediting body for continuing care retirement communities.
Edenwald is governed as a not-for-profit entity by The General German Aged People’s Home of Baltimore, Inc., and is not affiliated with any religious or ethnic organization. All qualified applicants are considered for residency without regard to race, color, creed, sex or national origin. Edenwald residents come from all backgrounds, races, faiths and ethnicities. We are proud of the extraordinary lifestyle we provide to each and every resident who is part of the Edenwald community.
