These facilities are located on a beautifully wooded, ten acre tract in Harris County near the outskirts of Baytown, removed from the stress and congestion of the big city, yet close to the area’s major medical centers, 30 minutes from downtown Houston, 12 minutes from Pasadena, and 45 minutes from Galveston.
A ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas
In 1957, Bishop John Hines appointed a Commission on the Aged, which concluded that the Diocese had a very definite responsibility toward the establishment of a home to help meet the vastly growing needs of older people, whose greatest problems after physical health were economic security, emotional security, and housing suited to their needs.
The doors of St. James House were opened in 1960 on 10 wooded acres in Harris County near Baytown off I-10, accommodating 56 ambulatory residents needing only minimum care. In 1972 a nursing wing added 26 more beds.
Today we provide full nursing care and rehabilitation services to 105residents. In addition our beautiful 40 apartment unit, Alexander Hall, provides complete independent living to older adults.
St. James House and Alexander Hall were formed as a non-profit, 501 (c)(3) organization. We are committed to providing the highest level of professional care in a warm, loving and Christian environment.
Programs are offered to encourage individuals to remain independent, caring for themselves as well as they can. Dedicated to the mission of creating a loving and caring environment, St. James House is "The House that turned into a Home through loving care."
