Norma's Place LLC

Norma's Place LLC sits about 2.2 miles outside Rosedale, Maryland, and is a very small senior care home with only three beds, so everybody gets a lot of attention. The caregivers are trained to help with bathing, clothing, grooming, meals, and other daily needs, and they're there all day and night. Norma's Place gives a choice between private or shared bedrooms, all fully furnished, and some folks like that there are studio layouts. Some people come here for longer stays, and some use it for respite when families need short breaks. Seniors who want their independence but need some support can get help with medication, hygiene, and even bed transfers. Norma's Place also has a special program for memory care, including activities for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and they keep things secure so nobody wanders off. Residents can use the reading room, fitness area, gardens, and sometimes the jacuzzi or sauna. A hairdresser can come to help with haircuts, and there are laundry, housekeeping, and clothing services. Meals are home-cooked three times a day, and diets can be adjusted for things like diabetes or high blood pressure if someone needs that. The place helps arrange transportation to doctor's visits or shopping, and residents get to enjoy entertainment, movie nights, physical activity, music programs, art classes, and even pet therapy if that helps with comfort. Norma's Place has wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, and the staff can help with two-person transfers if needed. Hospice care is available for residents with serious illness, and both long-term and short-term stays are possible. The monthly starting rate is $3,000, and they accept private pay, long-term care insurance, and Veterans Aid and Attendance benefits. Everything's licensed by Maryland's Department of Social Services, and the environment is cozy and focused on helping every resident feel safe, involved, and comfortable.
