Ridgeway Village Assisted Living

Ridgeway Village Assisted Living sits at 5741 Edmondson Ave. in Catonsville, MD, in a pretty, restored turn-of-the-century home with a big porch and spacious grounds where older adults, starting at age 55, live as independently as possible but get help when they need it, and folks who need extra help with memory problems like dementia or Alzheimer's can get special care in a secure area so wandering is less of a worry. The staff includes nurses and trained workers around the clock who know how to help residents with disorientation, emergencies, diabetes, bowel and bladder incontinence, and even care for those who need two people to safely move them, plus there's skilled nursing care available if health needs change. You'll find private and semi-private rooms, full baths, wheelchair accessible showers and tubs, fully furnished options, and laundry done in-house so folks don't have to worry about chores, while the kitchen staff cook up good, nourishing meals and will adjust for special diets-kosher, vegetarian, diabetic-plus there's a certified food service manager and a dietitian to look after what everyone needs. Ridgeway Village brings in a dentist and a podiatrist for regular visits, so checking on teeth and feet doesn't mean going out, and therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy help residents stay as strong and capable as possible, with staff who can give insulin shots and help with diabetes care if a resident can't do it on their own. The place offers both hospice and respite care, and folks can age in place with care levels that go up as needs change, so moving again might not be necessary. The program director leads daily fellowship, there's exercise three times a week, games like Wii Bowling and SUDOKU every week, music shows, birthday parties, and movie nights to help everyone stay active and connected, plus trips out to restaurants, theaters, and shopping make life feel full, while the common areas inside and outside give space for visits and relaxation, and there's even a beautician for folks who like to keep up their hair. Ridgeway Village aims to keep seniors safe, comfortable, and supported, letting them stay as independent as possible even as they face new challenges in life.
