Household of Angels Assisted

Household of Angels Assisted sits over on 118 Arundel Beach Rd. in Severna Park, MD, and what you get here is a Christian care community that's privately run by RN Margaret Taneus, who's got 44 years of critical and pastoral care behind her, and you'll notice quickly everything about the place comes down to personalized, respectful attention, now they've just got 16 beds, so it's never crowded, most rooms are spacious studios with private bathrooms and walk-in showers, and nearly every room's got large windows, emergency call buttons, and cable hook-ups, which fits for people who still want a bit of their own space even when they need some help. Folks who live here might need a hand with bathing, dressing, or remembering medicine, and the staff, including on-site physicians and nurses, go about things in a steady, caring way-there's a low caregiver-to-resident ratio, about one caregiver for every five people, and many of the staff have worked here a long while, which means new faces don't pop in and out all the time. There's daily housekeeping, in-house laundry and dry cleaning, meal plans that work for special diets like diabetic, vegetarian, and low fat, and meals come made with quality ingredients because everyone deserves proper nutrients as they age, and the kitchen works to give you vitamins and minerals you need, which is important-besides, communal meals in the dining room help keep up the sense of community, if you like to join. Amenities include well-kept gardens and patios where you can get some fresh air or sit a spell, plus there's a sunroom, arts and crafts area, and activities room for people who like to keep busy or just watch others, and you'll find a chapel on-site for services, since spiritual care is part of life here, with visiting pastors and a regular chaplain for support, and regular movie nights with a big screen don't hurt either for entertainment, same goes for music therapy. Transportation comes standard, so getting to appointments or outings works out pretty well, and there's parking for families who visit. The entire place is single level and fully fenced, which helps with mobility and safety, and memory care staff get specific training, so those with Alzheimer's or dementia receive proper attention and patients who need palliative or hospice care are kept comfortable with skilled nursing and therapy services, including physical, restorative, and podiatry care as well as psychiatric help. Special attention goes to dignity and respect, not only through how staff treat residents, but in fostering connections with families-there aren't any big promises made here, just a steady, compassionate effort to provide comfort, safety, and a chance for meaningful days.
