Integrity Esther's Place at the Park

Integrity Esther's Place at the Park is a senior living community in Baltimore with four locations run by Registered Nurses who have over 60 years of experience in patient care and case management, and they really seem to focus on doing things honestly and with integrity, that's even part of their name, and they've named some locations like Integrity Esther's Place at Harford and Integrity Esther's Place at Pinewood, and what makes the place a little different is how it offers assisted living, memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, skilled nursing, independent living, and care homes, and they try to meet the needs of both the residents and the family caregivers because they know that transition can be tough, so you have care at different levels and can age in place if your needs change over time, and when it comes to medical care they handle conditions like congestive heart failure, insulin-dependent diabetes, high blood pressure, incontinence, and others, with a nurse available on-call 24/7, which is pretty reassuring for families, and the care staff are described as compassionate, aiming for a homey and clean environment, and although the community is usually about 40 residents, they work hard to keep things familiar and comfortable with hardwood floors, cozy furniture, and even private patios or balconies-so people can sit outside if they like, and there's a beauty salon, a small library, and a choice of housing from one-bedroom or semi-private options, with air-conditioning, garden views, and walk-in tubs for safety, plus they help out with daily chores, laundry, and offer three meals a day including vegetarian and gluten-free options, and guests can join at meals, and for safety they use senior-friendly cell phones, a 24-hour call system, and wandering protection for memory care, even special bracelets that set off an alarm if someone tries to leave, so folks who might wander stay safe, and they've got a secured memory care section with trained staff who can manage behaviors like acting out or elopement, which is important for families dealing with dementia, and there's access to visiting doctors and therapists, including podiatrists, dietitians, speech and occupational therapy, and they do physical therapy on-site if needed, plus they manage all the medications, injections, and even do blood sugar checks, which helps keep folks healthy, and besides physical health, they offer activities like yoga, chair yoga, live music, art classes, and trivia games, which keeps people busy and social, and there's high-speed internet, TV, and community spaces both inside and in the gardens outdoors, and the place tries to feel like a real home, with above-average cleanliness and a warm atmosphere, and you'll find residents gathering in the sitting area, on the patio, or at devotional activities which they sometimes take offsite, and they organize outings to nearby parks, restaurants, shops, and pharmacies, so residents can keep a bit of their old routine and stay connected to the neighborhood, and the community supports both long-term stays and short-term respite care, helping people recover from illness or giving caregivers a break, and there's even specific help for veterans looking into VA benefits or needing move-in assistance, and the reviews tend to say care is excellent or very good with a 4.6 out of 5 stars rating, and you see the staff are there 24 hours, helping with bathing, dressing, medication, moving around, even using a lift for residents who need help getting from bed to chair, and there are security features and guides on senior safety, medical alert systems, and even resources on hearing aids or internet plans that are senior-friendly, and although there are other well-known senior living places in Baltimore like Springwell, Symphony Manor, and Noble Senior Living, Integrity Esther's Place at the Park says "When it can't be your home, let it be ours!" and offers a setting that tries hard to give comfort, care, and support as people get older and their needs change.
