Malta House sits at 4916-18 Lasalle Rd in Hyattsville, Maryland, and serves older adults who want both independence and daily support, since it's a small, state-licensed assisted living community with 31 private rooms, each with a private bath, all on one floor. The place is managed by Victory Housing, a non-profit, and tends to attract residents 55 and older who need some help with things like bathing, dressing, transferring, medication, and general household tasks. The staff, many there five years or more, offer help with cooking, laundry, cleaning, and are available for emergencies at any hour, so most daily chores and needs are taken care of, and residents sit down to three home-cooked meals each day in the shared dining room, with menus that handle special diets, like for allergies or diabetes, and there's an all-day dining option if someone can't make set meal times. Residents have simple studio and single rooms, which come furnished, with individual heating and air conditioning, and the rooms are always kept clean and tidy, which a lot of people seem to notice.
The facility allows both dogs and cats, unlike some other places, so folks can sometimes bring their pets along, and the outdoor spaces have garden areas, a back patio, and walking paths where residents can get some fresh air or take a stroll when the weather's nice, and there are common rooms, too, like a library, living areas with a TV and fireplace, and a hair salon for keeping up appearances. Malta House offers plenty of activities through the week-arts, culture, social programs, and spiritual gatherings-plus regular movie nights and other events, and it gives rides when needed, with complimentary transportation for errands or appointments, though it doesn't have parking itself to offer.
For care, they cover a lot: assisted living, memory care for folks with Alzheimer's, respite care if someone just needs a short stay, diabetic support, incontinence care, managing medication, and non-ambulatory care, with some in-house skilled nursing services as part of the package. All the pricing is simple since they use an all-inclusive structure, and there's an entry fee upfront. The place supports housing choice vouchers, recognizes gender identity and orientation protections, and has staff members who focus on respect, dignity, kindness, and promoting wellness and independence. Residents can expect laundry and housekeeping each week, and supportive care like help with dressing, bathing, and grooming, without surprise charges. The Maryland Department of Health checks up on Malta House regularly, so it's kept to state standards, and any complaints get investigated as needed.
Malta House isn't currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia, but it stands out for its modest size, quiet setting, solid staff, and attention to meeting older adults' needs without being so big that people get lost in the crowd. It aims for comfort, security, and a simple, friendly environment where residents live with as much independence as they want, and there's always someone nearby to lend a hand.
