Aventura at The Heights sits at 7218 Park Heights Ave in Pikesville, MD, and the building holds 66 beds for senior residents needing different kinds of care, so you'll see folks here receiving assisted living, independent living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, continuing care, nursing, home care, and even temporary respite care, with therapists on staff who handle physical, speech, and occupational therapy, plus there's always a respiratory therapist around, which is rare in some senior places. Residents get wellness checks and have daily assistance with things like medication and bathing if they need it, and the clinical staff includes doctors, nurses, and all types of specialists, so folks here are looked after by people with years of experience, some being there over a decade, which adds a level of comfort for the residents and their families. You see a therapy department working on stroke and neurological recovery, wound care following surgeries or for diabetic wounds, and individualized rehab plans, so if someone needs more attention after an illness, they can stay here for transitional long-term care, and the PT department even performs home evaluations.
The memory support program is set up for people with memory loss, and the staff tailors support plans to each resident, making sure everyone keeps as much independence as possible while still being safe and comfortable, and some folks take part in hospice care that's managed with dignity. The building has kitchenettes in certain units, and all rooms have cable or satellite TV and Wi-Fi to keep everyone connected, which helps families stay in touch and residents keep up with the world if they want to. There's kosher dining, and the culinary program is certified five-star and Star-K kosher, so folks who keep kosher or want Jewish traditions don't have to give that up, and with large communal dining areas, nobody has to be alone at meals. The shul inside houses a sefer Torah, and the community keeps full Jewish observance with minyanim and Torah classes, plus programming for Shabbos, Yom Tov, and the Jewish calendar, which means people can keep up their lifelong customs.
The landscaped gardens and patio get daily use, as outdoor spaces are important for well-being, and for pets, there's a pet-friendly policy. Inside, you'll see a salon, game rooms, entertainment areas, and places for fitness or therapy so residents don't feel stuck in one spot. The staff takes care of housekeeping, linen changes, laundry, and meal service so folks can focus on activities or visits with family and friends, and if someone needs to leave the building, the community offers transportation and guest parking, making visits easier. Wellness programs aim to keep everyone active, and there are always recreational and social activities to encourage friendships and social stimulation, so it's never too quiet or lonely.
Each person living here gets a more personal wellness plan to fit their needs and what they can manage, which helps keep as much independence as possible, and families can schedule a tour to meet the staff, see residents, and get a real sense of the community. Aventura at The Heights has a state license (30AL3770-A) and charges a $3,000 entry fee, but after that, all these services-from therapy to memory care to long-term and hospice care-are run with a focus on comfort, respect, and tradition, aiming to help residents feel at home while staying safe and supported.
