Canterbury House Assisted Living sits in a quiet spot in Temple Hills, MD, where folks aged 55 or 62 and older can settle in, with options for both independent and assisted living, making it right for active seniors who want some help or for those who need more full-day care, so you'll see eight spacious private bedrooms in a homey, ranch-style house that feels welcoming and comfortable for older adults. The place offers regular supervision and care all day and night, with a Registered Nurse and a Geriatric Nurse Assistant right there to help, and if someone needs extra care like memory help for Alzheimer's or dementia, or even care at a heavy level, they've got trained staff who know how to handle complicated needs, including using mechanical lifts or assisting people who need help moving or managing incontinence and diabetes, even giving insulin if needed. Seniors can expect help with daily tasks like dressing, bathing, medication reminders, and there's laundry and housekeeping services too, plus meals prepared on-site-usually one or two a day-focused on good nutrition, and if you'd rather eat at home, you can get meals delivered too, so there aren't many worries about food.
If someone enjoys being social, there are community spaces for gatherings, activities, and events, and Canterbury House has been recognized for keeping residents engaged in all sorts of ways: physical, social, mental, and emotional. There's also transportation offered for appointments or errands, which can be a big help for those not driving anymore, and parking's available too. They do offer respite stays, hospice care, home care help, and have flexible care plans tailored to what each person needs, so if you only need someone to look in on you sometimes or if you need help with almost everything, you can find that help here. The place works as part of a larger continuing-care community, with the option to move up to assisted living or even into a nursing home level of care if you need it later on, and they make it a point to treat everyone with respect and dignity in a friendly, loving setting, where the staff are known for being kind and helpful. There's an option for tours, and the community map is available for those who want to come see the place.
