Ednor's Elderly Home Care is a senior living community in Silver Spring, Maryland, right in Montgomery County, and you'll find that it offers different types of housing for older adults, including assisted living, senior apartments, memory care units, and a few smaller group homes with as few as five units, so there's a range from five up to 141 units across all their facilities. Seniors who live here can get help with daily activities, like bathing, dressing, moving around, using the bathroom, eating, and even spoon-feeding if that's needed, plus there's staff awake and around 24/7, which can give some peace of mind for folks who might worry about being alone. Ednor's offers respite care for families who need a break, and provides temporary help if someone's regular caregiver can't be there, and they have services for memory issues, so they're able to help people with dementia, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease, which can be a real help for families dealing with these conditions. Residents can bring their pets to pet-friendly assisted living units, which can make it feel more like home, and the apartments and shared spaces come with things like an in-room washer and dryer, ADA-compliant bathrooms, wide closets, and options for one-bedroom, studio, semi-private, and shared rooms-the rooms are furnished and the grounds are safe, with handrails, emergency call buttons, and a 24-hour security system, all meant to prevent falls and keep people secure.
Meals are included for everyone, with all-day dining, scheduled meal times, and menus that can adjust for allergies, diabetes, and special diets, and they celebrate birthdays and special occasions with food too, which can be a nice touch, plus there's a private dining area for family gatherings, a shared kitchen, and plenty of places for people to sit together and eat. You'll see laundry and housekeeping included, and staff help with vacuuming and dusting, which takes chores off people's plates. There's transportation for doctor appointments, a nurse available for emergencies and health checks, plus monthly assessments and regular health monitoring by a registered nurse, which helps keep track of people's health close at hand, and staff set up personalized care plans for each resident to fit what they need. The grounds are landscaped with walking paths and patios, and the community rooms have a movie theater, computer center, a games area with cards and board games, a chapel, an extensive library, and even a beauty shop, so people can join social or fitness activities, play games, go to worship, or just read quietly, however they choose to spend their day.
Ednor's handles medication management and will help people remember and take their medicine, and there are services for folks with chronic illnesses, plus rehabilitation for speech, occupational, and physical therapy-if anyone's had a surgery or hospital stay, this can be a handy service to get back on their feet. There's also home care support, so some seniors who want to stay in a more house-like atmosphere but need help can get that in the smaller group home settings. The community is in a busy and generally well-off area, not far from churches, shopping, and medical centers, so getting out and about is easy for those who can. The atmosphere at Ednor's is meant to be homey and warm, offering a family-like setting, and family members can come visit, join meals, or celebrate holidays with residents, making it feel less like an institution and more like a familiar neighborhood where people help each other out.
