JMB Assisted Living is a small, residential care home focused on serving seniors who need assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's, or general residential care, and, set in Calverton near Beltsville, Maryland, it offers a quiet and personal setting with space for only four residents, which some folks find less stressful than big busy places, and the building has both studio and one- and two-bedroom apartments, though most folks have a fully furnished studio with air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, private bathrooms, telephone, and linen service, and the staff take care of daily needs like bathing, dressing, transferring, medication reminders, and more challenging care like diabetes management, high acuity support, ambulatory care, and professional incontinence care, and there are licensed nurses to give injections or handle wound care if needed, plus regular visits from therapists, dentists, and podiatrists, which means residents don't need to leave the house for many healthcare needs. JMB maintains the building and yard, handles all housekeeping, meal prep and serving-including food for people with diabetes or those needing no-sugar, low- or no-sodium, or allergy-sensitive diets-and offers room service if someone isn't feeling up to eating in the dining room. The kitchen staff work to make meals that are tasty and healthy, and since there are only a few residents, meals and activities can often be adjusted to individual preferences or dietary needs, which many folks appreciate, and laundry and dry cleaning are included too, which takes more pressure off people who don't want to bother with chores. The staff work around the clock and offer 24-hour supervision for peace of mind, which is good for someone with dementia or prone to wandering, and personalized care plans are put into place for each resident, meaning that care changes with what the resident needs over time.
The house has indoor common areas where folks can gather, along with an outdoor garden and walking paths when weather's good, and there's a computer or media center, a special movie room, plus board games and Wii bowling for group fun, and scheduled and spontaneous events like live music, birthdays, BBQs, outings, day trips, holiday parties, and even community service programs, and transportation is provided for medical appointments or errands, with access to nearby parks, pharmacies, doctors' offices, restaurants, and places of worship, which can be important for keeping in touch with the outside world and one's beliefs or routines. Residents can join devotional activities off-site and take part in social activities aimed at keeping people engaged, and JMB encourages socializing, participation, and building friendships, which can help with feelings of loneliness. Help is available with moving in, and the staff are known for being helpful, friendly, and making residents feel comfortable and included, so folks who want to stay as independent as possible while knowing help is there when needed often find this place a reasonable fit, especially if looking for a homelike, calm setting with just a few other people around. Housekeeping, transportation, and all the care needs are rolled into daily life, and for families who need a break, JMB offers respite care stays as short-term support, and with all the care and meals and outings taken care of, the idea is that residents, whether they live in their own suite or share with a companion, can focus on staying involved and comfortable without the worries of everyday chores or feeling lost in the crowd.
