Wright's Enterprise I in Edgewood, MD, is a small senior care home that feels more like a house than an institution, usually serving about four residents at a time, and you'll see it's a tightly-knit place with rooms that come furnished, but you can bring your own things if you want to make it truly yours. The staff, led by Ella Wright Ta Wrights Enterprise, sticks around to help with bathing, dressing, walking, and even bigger needs like memory support, wound care, or incontinence, and they keep a close eye if someone sometimes wanders, using things like Wander Guard and well-designed safe spaces. The place has nurses, personal care assistants, podiatry, and even occupational therapy as needed, and they can help coordinate doctor visits, pharmacy trips, or rides to the store or church, so you won't have to worry about getting around, especially if you need special transportation-a few of their vehicles stand out with clear branding and are made so folks with limited mobility can ride comfortably and safely.
You'll find the dining room is set up for fresh, home-cooked meals three times a day, and there's care for all sorts of diets, including diabetes, high blood pressure, kosher, vegetarian, or allergies, and if you want a snack or tea any time, someone will bring it out. There's an activity room where you can join music therapy, crafts, fitness routines, or board games, and they do regular movie nights, outings, animal therapy, visits from a hairdresser, and programs to keep your mind and spirits engaged, all aimed at making sure folks can keep up a social life, even in a small group. Each room has its own bath, cable TV, telephone, and sometimes small kitchen areas, but there's always staff close by for laundry, housekeeping, or dry cleaning, so even those daily chores don't pile up.
Safety comes first, so you'll notice emergency alert systems, sprinklers, and features for wheelchair access, and they welcome both ambulatory folks and those who use a wheelchair or need more help getting transferred from place to place. The rooms are private or semi-private to let you choose more privacy or a companion nearby. For those who like the outdoors, there are walking paths and a garden where you can sit with a friend, and it's a smoke-friendly spot outdoors for those who want it, plus animal therapy if that lifts your mood. Wright's Enterprise I lets people age in place by adjusting care as your needs change, including memory care and hospice, always keeping a respectful and homelike atmosphere, where families can stop by and see that everyone is treated with dignity and kindness, whether you stay independent or need a bit more hands-on support. The facility is licensed, though Care.com has not verified the license, and it works with long-term care insurance to help with costs. While there may not be glossy brochures or lots of advertising, the home keeps its focus on personal care, comfort, and letting each person feel valued and safe.
