1 Stop 3 is a small assisted living facility in Baltimore, Maryland, with room for three residents, offering both private and semi-private options, studio apartments, and some with kitchenettes, so people have a choice in their living space, and there's air conditioning in each unit along with cable TV, Wi-Fi, grab bars, pull cords, non-slip floors, and phones for comfort and safety. The building has a library, a movie theater room, a community dining room, a community kitchen for those who like to cook, and a gym for exercise, plus a beauty salon and barbershop, a chapel, a pool, and a hot tub, so there are spaces for social time and relaxation. The facility welcomes dogs and cats, so people don't have to leave their furry friends behind. Residents have access to walking trails, patios, a garden, and off-site trips for fresh air and change of scenery, and planned get-togethers bring family and residents together for holidays or just to visit.
Staff are present 24 hours a day, and a licensed nurse is always available, with routine doctor visits and health assessments each month, which means care is always monitored and people get help when they need it. The team helps with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, toileting, managing medications, and even spoon feeding if necessary, and they manage care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia through memory care services, which offer secure environments, special programs, and activities to keep minds active. There's help for continence management, incontinence care, and skilled nursing services like wound care and therapy, as well as speech and occupational therapy, including Parkinson's disease care, so a wide range of health needs can be met. For people who like independent living but want support, there are services for moving-in, home upkeep, meal preparation, and all-inclusive dining, with chef-prepared meals and options for special diets, so allergies and diabetes are handled, and there's always something safe to eat.
People who live here have high-speed internet, computers, a place to watch movies, and daily activities like wellness programs, cultural events, fitness sessions, massage therapy, and recreational outings, so nobody's stuck with nothing to do, and there are regular opportunities for entertainment and socializing. Laundry, linen, housekeeping, and grooming services are all taken care of, so life's easier, and there's emergency alert systems in every room for safety and fall prevention. Residents can take the facility's transportation to appointments, stores, or for medical needs.
The community is in a residential neighborhood, and the small size means residents get more attention with a family-like environment, individual care plans, and services like care coordination with doctors and therapists. The facility is licensed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Office of Health Care Quality, which means the staff meets state rules for keeping people safe and healthy. This assisted living community supports seniors who want an engaging, supportive, and safe place to live, with choices for assisted living, memory care, independent living, adult care home options, and skilled nursing, plus hospice and referrals as needed, so a person can stay even as care needs change.
