Malta House South

Malta House South sits in Hyattsville, Maryland, as a small board and care community close to St. Mark the Evangelist Church and St. John Baptist de la Salle, offering care for older adults who need extra support with daily routines like bathing, dressing, and managing their medications, with staff awake around the clock. There are sixteen assisted living units where residents can choose from furnished studio units, single bedrooms, or shared apartments, and folks are welcome to bring small pets. The community handles meals for all kinds of dietary needs, so if a resident follows a diabetes diet or has allergies, the staff will prepare options for them, plus there's regular meal service and a dining room set up for shared meals. Malta House South provides housekeeping, linen service, and laundry support, so chores are taken care of, and maintenance requests get prompt responses. Transportation is available for medical appointments, errands, and local outings, with supervised rides when needed, and there's little need to worry about parking. Residents can head outdoors for a walk along the garden paths, enjoy time in the greenhouse, or relax in the game room and movie theatre, and there's computer and internet access for those who want it. For social engagement, the staff plans daily activities, movie nights, and faith-based programs, along with hobbies and community events that help people connect with each other. Anyone who needs surgery recovery care or rehabilitation can get those services on site, and the nursing staff helps with everything from medication supervision to personal care. The facility has emergency alert systems and offers assistance with moving around (including ambulation services), and people can stay short-term for respite care if caregivers need a break. The place feels like home because team members pay close attention to each resident, aiming to keep everyone as independent as possible while still offering the help that might be needed every day.
