Serenity Assisted Living II sits in Upper Marlboro, MD, where it provides assisted living, memory care, board and care, and respite care in a small, homelike setting for up to five residents, and the staff there focus on keeping things personal-because it's a small group, everyone gets to know each other pretty well, and the caregiving stays focused on each person's own needs. Residents get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, incontinence, and transfers, and caregivers are there 24 hours a day, so even folks with memory issues or more complex physical problems, like diabetes or high acuity needs, can get the help they need, including injections, blood sugar checks, or even IV feeding when required, and they use two-person transfer methods and mechanical lifts to keep everyone safe. The memory care area is secured and has alarms and special bracelets to help prevent wandering, and the staff can work with behaviors and residents who are at risk for elopement. The living areas include private and shared rooms, with options for studios, one-bedrooms, or semi-private choices, all fully furnished, and units with private bathrooms, air-conditioning, kitchenettes, cable TV, telephones, and Wi-Fi, and everything is kept maintenance-free with on-site laundry, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and linen service.
They prepare meals for all special diets, including those for diabetes and allergies, and say they use organic ingredients when possible, plus there are daily activities, devotional services, community events like movie nights, and trips offsite, so folks can fill their days if they choose, and there's a dining room, gardens, walking paths, and a community room for social time. Move-in coordination helps families get settled, and there's a 24-hour emergency response system throughout. Transportation is arranged for medical appointments, errands, and outings, and escorts are available to help residents move between rooms, and caregivers provide help in both English and a supportive, family-like environment, which suits those who prefer a smaller, quiet group home. There's a secured memory care unit that's specifically set up for people with Alzheimer's or other dementia, and the facility can work with residents who have behavioral needs or trouble with orientation.
Business hours run Mon-Fri from 8AM to 9PM and Sat-Sun from 8AM to 5:30PM, but staff remain on site around the clock, and nurses handle medications and injections as needed. Residents can pick from private or shared rooms, with all the basics like air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout the home, communal and in-room meal options, and special attention to those with trouble moving or those who are non-ambulatory, with support for assisted transfers. The property is secured for safety, and the atmosphere is meant to be like a family-with meaningful caregiver bonds and kindness at the core. No prices are published, but it's described as reasonably valued, and reviews average around 4 stars. The facility accepts seniors at many levels of care, including those needing skilled nursing, memory care, or independent living, and residents can stay as their needs increase over time, without needing to leave for a higher level of help.
