Constant Care Assisted Living sits inside a one-story brick house in a quiet residential neighborhood at 1213 Doewood Lane in Capitol Heights, Maryland, real close to the District of Columbia line and places like the National Arboretum. The facility has just 7 assisted living units, which keeps things small and gives residents more personal attention, and you can find living spaces that range from studio and one-bedroom suites to shared apartments, all set up with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, telephone, internet, and cable already there, plus the rooms come fully furnished so no need to worry about setting anything up. The whole place is wheelchair accessible, too, and there's a secure section set aside for memory care, with window and door alarms, personal tracking bracelets, and a computerized alert system to keep folks safe if they tend to wander or get disoriented-staff stays on alert all day and night, able to help with things like 1-person and even 2-person transfers or provide a mechanical lift when needed, so folks with limited mobility can still get around.
There's trained staff around the clock to help with daily tasks-getting dressed, helping in and out of the bath, reminders for bathroom visits, washing, and grooming, as well as medication management, giving insulin shots, and discreet help with bladder or bowel care, so each resident can get the care plan that's best for them and all that is based on an initial and ongoing assessment. They help folks with dementia or Alzheimer's, and have tailored care plans and programs to help with memory, including activity programs, behavior management, and special interventions for wandering or behavior concerns. Residents can have meals served three times a day in a family-style dining area, with homemade dishes that can be adjusted for issues like diabetes or high blood pressure, and for anyone wanting more privacy, meals can be brought to the rooms; staff is on hand to provide feeding help when necessary. There's a focus on keeping the place feeling like home-pets like dogs and cats are allowed, folks can enjoy a library nook, join music or board games, get involved in fitness or creative activities, and head out for walks on the property or even take part in planned outings and trips.
Constant Care Assisted Living offers transportation to doctor's appointments or shopping, with staff ready to chaperone during visits, and there's a visiting hairdresser and barber along with amenities like a jacuzzi, sauna, book room, and a private dining space for family gatherings. They offer housekeeping, linen changing, and maintenance-free living so residents don't have to worry about chores or upkeep anymore. Every room has an emergency response system and the building has 24/7 security, plus there's onsite medical services like a licensed nurse, pharmacy, and dietitian available, and staff watch out for everyone through a referral and review check to make sure families can trust the care here. The routines are well planned, with music therapy, pet therapy, educational lectures for family and friends about aging, and even community evening events, trying to bring a sense of belonging and community, and everything is based on a family-like philosophy of everyone looking out for each other. The cost for assisted living starts at $3,000 per month, but the exact amount can change depending on care level and choices, and prices aren't shown publicly, so it's best to check with the director for clear details about services and what's included. Constant Care Assisted Living keeps a rating of 5.0 stars and works hard to provide a safe, warm setting where seniors can enjoy comfort and the support they need every day.
