Who we are
Senior Muslim Society of Greater Houston (SMSGH) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization established to provide services to a diverse population of seniors according to their faith and culture. We are proud to be the first 501(c)(3) organization of our kind in Greater Houston and beyond.
Many nursing home facilities in the U.S. are not culturally sensitive. We provide the connection that makes a senior's stay peaceful, and we support families in difficult times as they care for their aging parents and elders.
Empower diverse seniors and caregivers to live their lives with respect, dignity and independence.
Provide programs that meet religious and cultural needs while addressing basic, social, mental, educational and legal needs.
