CREATUS Adult Assisted Living sits at 31414 Marburg Ln, Upper Marlboro, MD, offering care to seniors with many different needs, whether folks live independently, need daily support, or have memory concerns like Alzheimer's or other dementia, and you'll find the staff keeps a steady eye out for those who wander or show tricky behaviors, since they use a secure and purpose-built property for safety, including technology like Wander Guard bracelets to help keep everyone safe. You'll see people from under 55 and up-both men and women-living in private or semi-private rooms with bath tubs, using Wi-Fi, or spending time in indoor and outdoor common areas, maybe heading out for a swim or using the hot tub, and if someone enjoys a good meal, there's both kosher and vegetarian options available daily, since they try to make food fit different needs and everyone eats together in a homelike dining area. The staff, including awake staff always on duty round the clock, speak English and Spanish, and they're trained for all sorts of medical needs, like incontinence, diabetes (including blood sugar checks and insulin injections, though they skip sliding scale therapy), and they've got nurses, podiatrists, therapists, and hospice care folks coming in when needed, with transportation to appointments if someone can't drive themselves, either offered for free or at a reasonable price, parking provided, too.
CREATUS provides all sorts of activities-social, spiritual, recreational, even trips off-site-and people can join devotional services right inside or out in the community. There's a beautician for haircuts and more right on-site. Folks can get help with bathing, dressing, medications, and, if needed, the care team assists with heavy lifting or moving between beds and chairs using hands or special equipment, whether someone just needs reminders or full support. The memory care team stands out for being patient and gentle, making sure routines stay familiar and safe, using brain-stimulating activities and group events to keep minds active, and they keep a close watch on folks who are at risk of harm or self-injury. They admit people who might have behavioral issues, tough days, or complex physical and mental needs, with custom plans for each person. There's support for the full spectrum of living: independent, assisted, memory care, board and care, skilled nursing-even respite care for a short stay if a caregiver needs a break. And while it's a place where people can age in place as their needs change, the staff still pays attention to privacy and dignity, aiming to make life as home-like as possible, all under the steady management of Dr. Scott, who's hands-on and experienced. Reviews give CREATUS an average rating of 3.7 out of 5, and many mention the comfortable, mellow vibe and focus on making everyone feel welcome and well cared for, with a dedicated staff that doesn't turn over much, so faces stay familiar to the residents. The cost stays relatively affordable for the area, without a drop in the quality of services or care provided. The facility sits close to hospitals, shops, and local activities, helping folks stay connected with their community, and there's plenty of attention paid to maintaining a calm, well-kept environment, with group outings, on-site entertainment, meals, spiritual gatherings, and simple comforts like friendly staff and the opportunity for pets and family visits.
