Elyon Assisted Living

Elyon Assisted Living sits at 9018 2nd Street in Lanham, Maryland, and serves seniors in both Laurel, Maryland, and the Washington D.C. area, mostly focusing on assisted and independent living. The staff are both medical and non-medical, and they're known for being caring, experienced, and patient, which goes a long way, especially since they help with personal care, bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and have part-time nurses and care assistants ready to help residents daily, and there's even support for incontinence needs. The memory care team looks after seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia in a secure area, running memory programs and activities that try to keep minds sharp. The building has private and shared rooms, all furnished, plus a big balcony, a nice garden filled with fruit, a library and computers, and a movie room, which makes things feel homier, and people like having different spaces to relax or have fun with each other. Chefs and meal planners prepare the meals, with menu choices for special diets like controlled carbs or other doctor-ordered diets, so residents can choose to dine in the community rooms, eat in their rooms, or have guests come for a meal, and there's help with getting food delivered or served. Visitor and resident parking are available, and there's security monitoring for everyone's safety, so families know their loved ones are looked after. Every resident gets help based on what they need to stay well, even if it's as simple as medication reminders, getting prescriptions delivered, or having an in-house doctor come by for visits, which can be very comforting as people get older. The facility offers respite care for those times when a family caregiver needs a short break, and there are review scores and awards that recognize the staff's friendliness and quality of care, so families see some outside opinions too. Elyon Assisted Living also has resources to help families, floor plan options that you can ask about, and offers support for seniors who have trouble living on their own, always with the goal of helping them be as comfortable and happy as possible in their later years.
