Andrew's Assisted Living Services, Inc sits in a quiet spot in Beltsville, Maryland, and has room for five seniors in a small and caring setting that really feels like a home, with a focus on dignity and respect, and if you've got a pet, they let you bring yours too, which people appreciate these days. Here, folks get help with daily things like bathing, eating, dressing, and taking medicine, and the staff stays on duty around the clock, so someone's always there if help's needed, whether that's a reminder to take pills or a hand with getting around. The building's got places for people to live on their own in studio suites, one-bedroom apartments, or shared units, and all the spaces come furnished with things like air conditioning, cable TV, telephone, and WiFi, and there are both private and shared rooms, kitchenettes, and private bathrooms for comfort, which makes things less stressful especially if moving from home.
Meal times get a lot of attention since the cooks use organic food and can make special dishes for diabetes or high blood pressure, and meals happen together with snacks on hand plus options for folks who need softer food, and there's a private dining section too, and that setup keeps people connected and less lonely. The staff also includes a licensed nurse, and there are healthcare specialists available in fields like ophthalmology, neurology, or podiatry, which is handy if someone's health needs change or if extra therapy-like speech or physical rehab or even pain management-becomes necessary, so seniors don't have to travel far for their care and can stick with trusted faces. The nurse helps with more complicated needs, and there's a dedicated team for hospice and palliative services if ever needed, along with social workers, therapists, and care aides who pitch in as required.
For folks with memory issues, including Alzheimer's or dementia, the community runs specific programs with memory-enhancing games and music therapy, and keeps safety in mind with 24-hour supervision, color-coded spaces, and a daily schedule to help everyone feel secure and supported, and plenty of activities like art, music, board games, and movie nights are available for engagement and joy. The place includes a greenhouse, communal kitchen, sauna, jacuzzi, workout room for regular fitness classes, reading room, game area, and outdoor walking paths and gardens, and there's space for barbers, stylists, and even massage services to come visit, which is good for those who want some comfort and pampering without leaving the building. Social nights, group outings, pet therapy visits, art and music plans, and faith-based services keep things lively, and transportation and parking are both arranged so folks can get to doctor's visits or errands with no trouble.
Everything is organized to meet each person's care plan, and people can choose private or shared rooms, enjoy housekeeping, linen and laundry service so they don't have to fuss with chores, and use emergency response systems for safety, and the staff helps with medication, bathroom reminders, meal planning, and personal care. There's respite care for short stays if a regular caregiver needs a break, and arrangements are available for non-ambulatory seniors and wheelchair accessibility. Residents get support so they can maintain as much freedom as possible while knowing a team stands ready if something's needed, and the community welcomes questions so families feel comfortable with how their loved ones will get treated.
