Pima sits in a quiet spot in Lochearn, Maryland, at 3503 Flannery Ln, Gwynn Oak, where up to three seniors can live in a small, home-like setting with prices starting at $4,500 a month, but the cost can change depending on care needs and room layout, and you can pay by private funds, long-term care insurance, or other benefit programs, so there's a bit of flexibility there. The place has a simple setup, offering assisted living, memory care, hospice care, and short stays or respite, and the license allows no more than three residents at once, which keeps the atmosphere calm and more personal, especially if you like quiet spaces or want staff who know your needs.
Residents get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, transferring, grooming, medication management, and even two-person transfers with safe support getting in and out of the shower, plus there's non-medical help like exercise, moving around, and activities to keep folks engaged. The community does a good job setting up daily events such as movies, music programs, crafts, tabletop games, and fitness plans to keep everyone busy, and offers things like music therapy, pet therapy, outdoor walks, book rooms, gardens, a recreation area, a game space, a sauna, a jacuzzi, and a health area, so there's something for folks who like to keep moving or want a little relaxation time.
Meals come three times a day, are homemade right there, and they'll adjust for special diets if someone has high blood pressure, diabetes, or allergies, plus there's flexible all-day dining options if needed, and snacks are available throughout the day; housekeeping, linen changes, laundry, and dry cleaning are handled by staff, which lightens the load for everyone. They sort out transportation for doctor's appointments, errands, and church services, and there's move-in coordination to help new folks settle in a bit more smoothly, which is helpful if transitions make you nervous. Emergency alert systems watch over both common rooms and bedrooms, and the building uses locked and secured entryways to keep everyone safe, especially for those who may wander or are living with memory loss, and the whole place is built for safety and peace of mind.
Rooms come furnished, each with phone access and a range of studio layouts to choose from, and there's community amenities like dining rooms, walking paths, gardens, lounges, and a salon or hairdresser who may even travel in to lend a hand. The facility tailors care plans for each person, focusing on their physical and psychological needs, and they work with healthcare providers to keep medical needs covered efficiently. With only three beds, Pima is quiet, personal, and easy to settle into, and the staff offers round-the-clock support for safety and comfort, making it suitable for folks who value both independence and a bit of help to keep daily life running smoothly.
