Larmax Homes is a small, residential care home for seniors, with properties in Maryland and Virginia, including several in Bethesda and three on Lewinsville Road in McLean, Virginia, like the one at 8341 Lewinsville Road, and each home fits up to eight residents, so there's this cozy, family-like feeling that's steady throughout, and throughout the homes, you'll find single bedrooms on the main floor, each with a private bath for comfort and privacy, and upstairs, there are three larger suites for those who want more space, plus there's a game room downstairs set up with adaptive games for people who have trouble with their vision or moving their hands, and there's a grand piano in the living room, because they like to do daily sing-a-longs, and the elevator goes to all three floors, which makes it easier for everyone to get around, even folks with wheelchairs or who have trouble with stairs.
Staff at Larmax Homes help with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, moving around, and transfers, and there's care for folks who need memory care, so people with dementia or mild cognitive troubles get specialized support and activities that are set up to help memory, and they've got guidelines for specific health needs like diabetes, incontinence, and non-ambulatory care, and nurses handle medication management and work with outside doctors to make sure residents get the medical help they need, while housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are built into the routine too.
Meals are provided, they're served on site, and they can cater to lots of special diets if someone has restrictions, and staff set up transportation for doctor visits, trips to the pharmacy, parks, or places of worship, so if folks want to keep up with spiritual practices, staff help arrange devotional services off-site, but some devotional activities also happen at home, depending on what's best for the group.
There are daily activities and scheduled outings, both inside and outside, with a focus on social engagement, plus there's respite care for caregivers who need a short break, and families and friends are encouraged to visit and spend time with loved ones in a supportive setting, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with community-sponsored programs, a resource directory of over 26,000 programs and services for all sorts of needs-health, housing, financial planning, employment, caregiving, transportation, veterans benefits, and legal help-through their partnerships with organizations like VirginiaNavigator, disAbilityNavigator, SeniorNavigator, VeteransNavigator, and Lindsay Institute.
