Tranquil Loving Care sits in a quiet part of Gaithersburg, Maryland, with four assisted living units and a memory care section in its own secure building, just off Ancient Oak Drive, and folks who live there get help with daily things like bathing, dressing, and moving around, while still keeping as much independence as possible. The place accepts seniors aged 55 and over and has rooms that are private, semi-private, or even fully furnished one-bedroom suites-some residents live in cozy studios, some in one-bedrooms-with accessible bathrooms and wheelchair access, and the average price for a one-bedroom is about $4,000 and semi-private is about $3,500 a month, and all pricing is all-inclusive so there are fewer surprises. Staff work under an RN who owns and operates the home, and there's one staff member for every three residents, with a nurse practitioner on-call around the clock, awake staff 24/7, and doctors and podiatrists visiting, which means folks get a fair amount of supervision, medication help, and personal attention.
Pets, like cats, are welcome in the home, and Tranquil Loving Care offers several types and levels of care-even assisted living, memory care, independent living, and nursing home services, plus respite care for short-term stays. The community has no more than four residents which makes it easier for staff to focus on each person's needs, including help with mobility, dressing, eating, diabetes management with insulin, and incontinence support. There's support for residents with behavioral symptoms, even those who tend to wander, and safety systems like alarms and bracelets to keep everyone safe. Visiting family and friends can join meals in the dining room, and the setting feels more like a group home or a care home, not a big facility, so things stay friendly and personal.
Meals matter here, so three home-cooked meals and snacks are served every day with special diets as needed, and snacks are available all day, plus all plans include housekeeping, linen service, laundry, and in-house dry cleaning. Residents enjoy both indoor and outdoor common spaces-recreation room, reading room, TV area, arts and crafts studio, patios, and gardens. There's a greenhouse, and structured daily activities like music sessions, a resident band, karaoke, story time, bingo, card games, parties, fitness like chair exercise, plus holiday celebrations and monthly trips out. Transportation is provided for outings and medical appointments, there's resident parking, and the property is near bus lines, so getting around's not too hard.
Devotional and chapel services, both onsite and offsite, are offered, along with other spiritual and religious services. There's a strong focus on supporting folks with memory challenges-custom care plans exist for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the memory care wing is built and secured for this purpose. Residents have personal emergency alert systems in their rooms, security's on at all times, and folks get nursing care, help with medication, and access to speech therapy when needed. Pets, like cats, are allowed in most cases, making the place feel a little more like home. Tranquil Loving Care has earned high ratings from residents and families in past years, including awards from SeniorAdvisor.com, and folks seem to appreciate the caring staff, the comfort, and the focus on dignity and social connection all through their stay. The community sits close to parks and shopping, like Lakeforest Mall and Muddy Branch Park, and provides a warm, safe, supportive place where seniors can age in place with skilled, down-to-earth care.
