Stella Maris

Stella Maris offers an honest range of health care and living options for older adults who need different levels of support and medical help, and you'll see that they've put a lot of thought into the services and comforts residents use every day, like large, furnished rooms, private bathrooms, cable TV, telephones, air conditioning, and high-speed internet, all of which make things a bit easier and more comfortable for folks living there, and there's a well-equipped fitness room and a spa with a sauna to help folks work on their wellness. Residents can join daily scheduled programs, movie nights, music groups, and even their own activities, and there's plenty to do in the community arts room or the library if someone prefers quiet time or crafts, or maybe working in the outdoor garden spaces when the weather's nice. The staff includes nurses, aides, and therapists who help with bathing, dressing, transferring, and medication including insulin, and they provide skilled nursing up to 16 hours a day, with a 24-hour call system if help's needed fast, and if someone needs to see a doctor or get to the hospital, there's transportation and telemedicine too, and the main hospital's in Baltimore, which also offers patient services like appointments, billing, insurance help, and medical records through MyChart Mercy. Stella Maris is non-profit and gives various kinds of care, including long-term care, rehabilitation, home care, hospice, and special programs for Alzheimer's and dementia, and residents can shift between services easily without feeling lost or alone, while families can stay involved and know what's happening. They've also got special Centers of Excellence for folks who need expert care, and everyone has access to both primary and specialty doctors, right in Baltimore and nearby communities. Food servings are generous, therapy services help people regain daily skills like walking with a cane, and they even offer things like grief counseling and spiritual support with affiliated clergy for those who want it. The rooms stay bright and feel open, the staff acts with compassion, and the approach is person-centered so each resident gets care that fits what they need, no matter their background or income, and the programs and care really are designed for the changing needs of people as they age. You'll find there's always something happening - from classes and events to quiet time in secure surroundings - and services are there for everyone, whatever care or support they might need at the time.
