Good Samaritan Assisted Living

Good Samaritan Assisted Living sits in a quiet part of Silver Spring, Maryland, and has two homes, GSAL I and GSAL II, both offering a cozy, homelike environment where seniors can feel comfortable and safe, and this family-owned and operated place has been working in elderly care for over 25 years, building a trusted reputation for clear communication and well-maintained, clean spaces, and residents can choose from furnished rooms with telephones and enjoy both indoor and outdoor common areas, like walking paths, gardens, and a community room for activities. The caregiving team, led by manager Divya D'Rozario who holds many certifications like hospice care and dementia care, gives support with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and transfers, and there's help from nurses, a doctor on call, and other health professionals including a dentist and podiatrist to take care of health needs, while memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia addresses safety and comfort. The staff focuses on personal care plans and works closely with family members, making sure each resident gets attention suited to their needs, including support for disabilities, mental health, and autism, plus regular updates to families about their loved ones' well-being. Residents eat meals in the dining room with flexible dining hours, and meals can be made to fit special diets like vegetarian, diabetic, or allergy-sensitive needs, and there are housecleaning, laundry, and dry-cleaning services that make day-to-day living easier. There's a full calendar of activities such as movie nights, social events, and scheduled outings, along with beauty and barber services, devotional services on and offsite, and both indoor and outdoor areas for gathering with others or spending time alone, all in a smoke-free environment. The buildings stand out for being wheelchair accessible and designed to meet modern safety and regulatory standards, and people can enjoy the company of pets, use the community's complimentary transportation for errands and appointments, and park on site when needed. The facility also gives respite care for short stays and hospice care for end-of-life support, always aiming to make transitions as smooth as possible with move-in coordination, while providing a caring, supportive atmosphere where safety, comfort, and dignity come first for every resident.
