CareVilla Assisted Living - Bethpage sits at 13828 Bethpage Ln in Silver Spring, Maryland, and has only five residents at a time, so folks get more personal attention and the community feels small and connected, which is something many people like as they get older. The whole place is designed with a single story, no stairs, and wider pathways, so moving around is easy if you use a walker or wheelchair. Residents can choose between private and shared rooms, and the staff encourages everyone to decorate their rooms how they want, plus there are Hi-Low adjustable electric beds to make transfers easier and safer for everybody. There's 24/7 nursing on site, aides around the clock, and a low resident-to-caregiver ratio, so help with bathing, dressing, mobility support, and medication management is always close by.
CareVilla offers different levels of care, with assisted living, board and care, and memory care services for folks with cognitive needs, all combined in a familiar and home-like environment instead of a big, busy facility. The care's set up to cover both long-term and short-term needs, and they've got palliative care to keep people comfortable, plus short-term stays help with recovery if you're coming out of a hospital stay and need some more support to get back on your feet. The same goes for respite care, which gives other caregivers a break or handles temporary needs.
Residents get three meals daily with the dining staff able to handle special diets, like diabetes meal plans, and staff manages medication, continence needs, and other daily healthcare needs, including wound care and working with other healthcare providers right when it's needed. There's a 24/7 call bell system for safety, so help is there right away if something happens, and the building has safety features throughout, including wander guard for memory care and disability-friendly fixtures. Laundry, cleaning, and linen services are included, so no one has to worry about chores, and staff help with grooming, toileting, and transfers too.
For staying busy and active, the staff runs daily fun activities, games, and exercise programs, plus there's a recreational team just for that, and folks enjoy arts and crafts, social gatherings, and health programs, as well as spending time on the private enclosed courtyard and a deck that overlooks the trees outside-a quiet spot that's good for relaxing. There's also Wi-Fi, cable TV, and telephones in the rooms. They arrange rides for medical appointments or outings and can handle appointment management, which helps keep everything running smoothly, and guest parking is available for visits. Family is part of care planning and visits often, and the care team tries to honor each resident's wishes and routines, so people hang on to their dignity and stay comfortable. Everything is stair-free and designed for easy movement, and having both a companion room for sharing and private rooms means residents can pick what works best. All care is set up to focus on safety, respect, and promoting well-being, without being overwhelming or too complicated.
