Caribbean Breeze Assisted Living #1 sits in a large Victorian-style home with a lovely flower garden, offering a quiet residential setting in Huntingtown, Maryland, alongside other locations in Huntingtown and Owings. The community focuses on Level 3 care and helps seniors who need daily help with tasks like bathing, dressing, and moving around, and there's always staff awake and available, so folks don't have to worry about being alone or missing their medications, because there's medication management and reminders built in. A Registered Nurse and Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of experience owns and runs the homes, so every resident gets regular oversight, and she coordinates with doctors and family about care plans and health changes, which is a little different from other places.
Each house is small, home-like, and only takes in five residents at a time, and most get their own private room with a bathroom close by, with cable TV, phone, and Wi-Fi, and all rooms come furnished, so people don't have to move all their things. Staff offers help with all the basics, from cooking special meals for those with diabetes or allergies, to laundry, cleaning, changing linens, and arranging rides to doctor appointments. Residents can join movie nights, walk in the garden, or take part in scheduled daily activities, so there are plenty of ways to stay social. People needing more than one caregiver to transfer pay an extra monthly fee, and there are clear care level fees set by Maryland's rules, so the pricing changes if someone needs more help. For short stays or when caretakers need relief, respite care's available for a daily fee, minimum ten days, and the Community Fee is one month's room fee and isn't refundable, which is standard practice here. There's a mix of semi-private and private rooms, and caregivers give individual attention with regular checks, medical consultations, and medication checks every 45 days. The nurse can come for in-house NP visits at no extra charge, and there's a plan for dementia care and family support, which is helpful as things change. The facility also makes sure meals, activities, social programs, and personal care all work together to help residents live as comfortably and independently as possible, and people often say it feels much like a regular family house rather than an institution, which some folks prefer. Caribbean Breeze has been around since 2003, so it's an established place with steady care and a focus on medical oversight you won't often find in other small senior homes, and for more details, they do keep a website at www.caribbreeze.com.
