Adelphi House Three sits in a small, cozy home setting set up for only five residents, so everything feels a bit more personal and familiar, and the staff have an easier time keeping up with the folks living there, since you won't find any long hallways or crowds, just easy routines and people who know each other. The home holds a license from Maryland's Department of Social Services and can support people who need different levels of help, like getting insulin shots, help with getting up, or two-person transfers, and they've got special attention for daily needs with caretakers around 24 hours a day and response systems if someone calls for help. They help folks get to doctor's appointments, faith-based services, and even the errands that come up, making sure transportation's sorted out so people aren't stuck without a ride if they need something.
You see a lot of activity going on, with things like movie nights, music and fitness programs, creative groups, scheduled social events, animal therapy, board games, outdoor trips, and wellness planning which gives life some variety, and folks get the chance to choose what they like best or just sit back to watch. There's a reading room, some places outside with garden areas, lounge spots indoors or outdoors, a hot tub or wellness section for relaxing, and a barber or hairdresser who visits so people can stay tidy. If you're thinking about food, meals are cooked for everyone and the cooks can use organic food, and the kitchen adapts the menu for people needing diabetic diets or other medical diets, with a staff dietitian involved if needed.
The rooms come fully furnished, some with private options and others for sharing, always clean thanks to housekeeping and laundry, with air-conditioning, cable or satellite TV, high-speed internet, and private bathrooms that're wheelchair accessible, including the showers and bath tubs, which makes life a little easier for anybody with mobility trouble. There's a dining room for meals, kitchenettes for light cooking, and staff who help with just about any activity of daily living: bathing, dressing, transfers, bathroom help, and hygiene, all under a watchful eye but never rushed, and always keeping personal dignity in mind.
Adelphi House Three sets up healthcare help too, like medication management, help for diabetes care, high acuity or incontinence care, and there's coordination for health checkups or therapy services such as speech and occupational therapy, plus special attention for conditions like Parkinson's or dementia, using custom plans based on what each person really needs. There's a 24-hour alert system for emergencies, so even at night someone's looking out for you, and respite stays for when caregivers need a break or someone requires short-term help.
Living here feels more like being at home than in a big institution, and the shared space builds up a sense of community-people get to know one another, and staff focus on each person's routines and preferences, making changes as needs grow or as people want. Prices for a private room range from about $3,000 to $4,500 a month. At Adelphi House Three, there's always effort to keep life balanced between support and independence, so folks can keep doing what matters to them for as long as they can.
