Montcare Wheaton sits in Wheaton, Maryland, and holds a license as a Skilled Nursing Facility with 94 certified beds where you'll find round-the-clock nursing care, rehabilitation, hospice, assisted living, and memory care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the care teams always wear brand-new uniforms which adds to the sense of order and cleanliness people notice right away, plus the building, which used to be ProMedica Skilled Nursing, shows its dedication to comfort by offering private bathrooms, cable TV, air conditioning, telephones, and kitchenettes in their spacious rooms and tends a flower garden courtyard for the residents to spend time outside whenever they want some quiet or fresh air. Staff members include hospital liaisons and an activity director, and the employees often celebrate events such as Independence Day together with the residents to give a sense of community to daily life, with social options like movie nights, arts and crafts, outdoor group programs, and a calendar of community activities, and a fitness room for anyone who wants guided movement exercises.
The facility specializes in rehabilitation for recovery or post-acute care, with a modern gym for physical, occupational, and speech therapy led by licensed clinicians, and they manage medication, help with bathing, dressing, and transfers, plus handle daily living tasks for people who need extra help, all while keeping a staff-to-resident ratio that brings about 3.44 nurse hours per resident per day. Their nursing turnover rate is 17.8%, and the company is privately owned and run for profit, with management shifting to Nachum Zager as of September 2023 and listed owners being Md3 Operator Holdco LLC (100%), Boruch Mermelstein (45%), Dov Green (43%), and Nachum Zager (10%), though inspection reports from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services show 58 recent deficiencies including two related to infection and some about quality of life, infection control, and resident rights. Montcare Wheaton accepts Medicaid and Medicare, and works with dual-eligible insurance plans such as Alterwood Advantage Dual Secure (HMO D-SNP), and also has options for Select (HMO), Choice (HMO), Choice Plus (HMO), and Freedom (HMO) for seniors looking for health insurance alternatives, with a website at mcwheaton.com for more information.
Residents can expect amenities such as furnished rooms, meal preparation by a professional chef, special diets, laundry, and weekly housekeeping, high-speed internet, on-site library, movie room, walking paths, community garden, spa and wellness space, move-in coordination, an emergency alert system, and a member portal for those who want to connect with providers and manage medications, medication therapy management, and pharmacy needs, as well as comprehensive nursing and rehabilitation services for those who need them, so there's a mix of both independent and assisted living, even some memory care options though these often come with higher costs. Montcare Wheaton tries to offer a positive work environment for its employees and maintains a schedule that includes both daily assistance where needed and as much independence as possible, all in a freshly renovated setting that's designed to focus on resident comfort, safety, and wellness, even if routine inspections and care quality reports remain part of ongoing oversight from state and federal agencies.
