Our Impact
El Buen Samaritano is a Seniors home located in Baja, Mexico, serving some of the most vulnerable elderly individuals in the region- many of whom have been abandoned, are without family support, or are unable to access basic care. Our goal is to provide safe, stable, and dignified long-term care in a loving, community-centred environment.
We currently house 25 residents in a 24-bed facility, offering comprehensive daily support that includes nutritious meals, housing, hygiene and mobility assistance, and routine medical attention. Many of our residents arrive with significant physical or cognitive limitations and no financial means to support their own care.
This program exists to meet both the practical and relational needs of those in their final stages of life, providing not only physical comfort and safety but also emotional connection, dignity, and a sense of belonging.
By offering consistent staffing, specialized care, and community engagement, we help alleviate poverty-related consequences such as neglect, malnutrition, isolation, and medical vulnerability- all while empowering local caregivers and professionals to serve their community through meaningful employment.
