Almost Home II Assisted Living, Inc. sits in Gwynn Oak, MD, and looks after up to eight residents in a small, family-like setting where folks get help with daily needs like showering, dressing, grooming, bathroom use, and moving around, and they make sure people keep their dignity while getting the care they need. The home is licensed by the State of Maryland and keeps up with all health and safety rules, and it's run under the owner Ms. Valerie Turner. There are private and semi-private rooms, and the place has wheelchair accessible parking and entrances so getting in and out is easy for people who use mobility devices. Staff can help with medical care like insulin injections, two-person transfers, diabetic care, non-ambulatory and incontinence needs, and they're awake around the clock if needed.
People who stay at Almost Home II can expect three homemade meals a day, and the cooks can adjust meals for special diets or medical needs. The facility offers assisted living, memory care, and help for those with dementia, as well as hospice services if needed, and they can arrange for home health care and non-medical home care too. Residents get help getting to medical appointments, running errands, and going to religious services, and the house has a traveling hairdresser for haircare needs.
The home tries to keep life active and interesting with scheduled events, offsite trips, outdoor common areas, and indoor activities like board games, fitness routines, movie entertainment, music programs, and creative activities, and sometimes they bring in things like pet therapy and music therapy. Folks can use community spaces, spend time outside, and take part in evening events and games, which helps people make friends and feel at home. The goal is to let people live as independently as possible, but with plenty of support close by, and there's always someone friendly on staff ready to help out. The place is BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, and it's been keeping that up since 2001.
