Caretech Assisted Living II sits at 1878 Grempler Way in Edgewood, Maryland, and keeps a small, close-knit setting with just three beds, so folks get plenty of attention from the staff, who stay awake and on duty all day and night. The place has both assisted living and memory care services for older adults, including folks with Alzheimer's, dementia, or Parkinson's. Residents pick from single bedrooms, shared apartments, or studios, and each room comes with furnishings and phones, so there's a bit of comfort and privacy right there. Staff help with daily activities like dressing, bathing, moving around, and even handling medicine, and those who need extra care, like help with continence or non-ambulatory care, get what they need so they can stay safe and comfortable. There's an in-room emergency call system, a 24/7 security system, secure indoor spaces, and memory care units designed to keep people who might wander safe.
The kitchen turns out three meals every day, and menus can be adjusted for anyone who needs something different-like folks with diabetes, allergies, or difficulty swallowing. There's a staff dietitian, and the menus are friendly for those with dementia, so everyone gets food they can manage. Snacks, a café space, and a private dining room give some options besides regular meals, and there's a communal kitchen too.
Residents don't just sit around, since there are daily recreation activities, scheduled group events, games in a games room, a theater for movies, and a beauty and barber shop. Folks who like the outdoors can walk or jog on the paths, or tend plants in the greenhouse or garden, and pets can come along too. For spiritual, mental, and emotional needs, there are dementia-tailored programs and behavior management to help people feel calm and engaged.
Personalized care plans are put in place for each resident, and health care services are shaped to individual needs, with nurses on call for medical care and transportation provided for doctor appointments. The staff manage medications and work with each person's routines, so wants and needs are respected. Internet's available and the building's wheelchair accessible, so it's easy to visit or stay connected. The place gives a quiet, home-like environment in a regular Maryland neighborhood, and folks can join as much as they want in community-sponsored activities or relax in their room, all while knowing there's always someone close by if help's needed.
