Edenwald is a continuing care retirement community, or CCRC, in Baltimore, located at 800 Southerly Rd on the Goucher College campus, and while Edenwald offers everything you'd expect like independent and assisted living, memory care, and nursing care, folks around here talk a lot about how the place works closely with Goucher College, which means residents have chances for lifelong learning, college-led programs, and cultural experiences right on site or nearby, which is something you don't always see everywhere. Rooms come in different floor plans, including studios, single rooms, two-bedrooms, and options in the nursing care area, with private or semi-private layouts, plus kitchens or kitchenettes, private bathrooms, washers and dryers, and features for safety and accessibility, sprinkler systems, and cable TV, and you'll get furnished rooms with telephone and high-speed internet access.
The grounds at Edenwald have a lot of comfortable places to gather or relax, like game rooms, activity rooms, fitness and wellness spaces, dining rooms, and a movie night area, and if you want to keep up appearances, there's also a salon and barbershop. The dining services provide meals prepared by a chef, and they handle special diets too, so people don't have to worry much about cooking if they don't want to, plus they've got social, arts and crafts, wellness, and fitness programs, and organized activities on- and off-site. Staff help with personal needs like bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and mobility, and there's 24-hour supervision, call systems, and daily support for different levels of care. Folks have access to medical services like nursing, occupational therapy, wound care, podiatry, medication support and management, physical therapy, and diabetes monitoring, and there's always someone trained to assist with things like getting in and out of bed or a wheelchair.
There's guest parking, Wi-Fi, cable TV, phone services, housekeeping, concierge help, and maintenance, so day-to-day upkeep is mostly handled for you, and for getting out and about, there's transportation and even help with moving in or getting to medical appointments. People who live here use community activity spaces and take part in events, and there's a resident's association if you like to be involved. Edenwald offers programs in social, creative, and educational fields, along with lifelong learning, banking, a general store, and access to things like senior living events, catering, and guest room reservations for family. Being near Baltimore and Washington, D.C., gives residents easy ways to get to museums, theaters, shopping, sports, and other attractions, while the partnership with Goucher adds more cultural and educational chances, making Edenwald Maryland's first College-Enriched Senior Living Community, so it's a place that really blends daily care with new opportunities, and with its focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, each person can feel welcome and supported as they age.
