Almost Home I

Almost Home I sits in a quiet, residential area of Taneytown, Maryland, and provides a small, home-like setting with only five assisted living units, so things tend to be a bit more personal and calm there, and people will often get a bit more attention when they need it. The place offers respite care for short stays, making it easier for family caregivers to have a break, and has services for folks needing assisted living, memory care for things like dementia or Alzheimer's, and even Parkinson's care, plus care for daily needs like bathing, dressing, or transfers. Residents can choose from studio layouts, one-bedroom apartments, or shared living spaces that come fully furnished, with cable TV, Wi-Fi, all needed appliances, and emergency pull cords in case something goes wrong, and they don't have to worry about cleaning up either because there's housecleaning, laundry, and linen services included. Almost Home I serves all meals and snacks, aiming to take care of special dietary needs-like allergies or diabetes diets-and offers communal dining in a well-lit dining hall, along with a private section if residents want a little more quiet. Residents can walk the trails, relax in the garden, visit the beauty and barber shop, or enjoy activities like games, movies, and other daily events in the community or entertainment rooms, and there's even an exercise space and a library for those who want to read or keep active. The staff helps with medication, daily health monitoring, and works with doctors, which includes organizing scheduled transport to appointments and taking care of case management if any extra support is needed. The facility also covers long-term care, skilled nursing, respite care, adult day services, and both Medicare-Certified home health care and non-medical home care, which means help is available for a range of needs. Pets are welcome, family support meetings are on the calendar, and nearby there are churches, hospitals, drugstores, and parks, while inside, safety features like 24-hour supervision and emergency systems help keep everyone secure. All utilities, Wi-Fi, and telephone service are part of the deal, and with concierge service plus a bistro and easy-to-read menus, folks living here have what they need to feel at home-so if someone needs help getting dressed, medication reminders, continence care, or even just some company and a good meal, they'll likely find it here.
