Hackerman-Patz House

Guest Lodging That Feels Like Home

The Hackerman-Patz House at University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center provides a warm, compassionate home-like setting for patients, families and travelers coming from outside our service area, where daily travel to and from home is a hardship.

Thanks to the generosity of Willard and Lillian Hackerman, the house is a natural extension of our founding caregivers' mission to provide loving services and compassionate care.

Originally built to keep family members close together in times of illness, the Hackerman-Patz House offers an affordable, comfortable alternative to a hotel or long-distance travel for patients and their caregivers. The guest house is also a welcoming and easily accessible place to stay for businesspeople, visiting university faculty or speakers, parents of local students, and others, and its rate of $60 plus tax (for a total of $69.30) per night is substantially lower than that of area hotels.

Key Features and Amenities

The house is designed with common areas where guests can gather in fellowship, share a meal and relax. All guests are welcome to use the kitchen facility, great room, and multi-purpose room. During warmer months, the outdoor patios and gardens provide comfortable spaces to enjoy the fresh air.

Our fully furnished suites offer your choice of a king-size bed or two twin beds, and every room features a private full bath, an in-room kitchenette and a television. A roll-away bed is available upon request. Guests also have access to laundry and vending facilities and an on-site business center.

Located in suburban Towson, the St. Joseph campus is less than a mile away from many dining, shopping and entertainment options.
