Taylor Farm Assisted Living Riley House is a small senior living care home in Bushwood, Maryland, right in St. Mary's County, and it sits quietly about 14.9 miles from California, Maryland, on Oscar Hayden Road where people find a calm and home-like place for older adults who need help with basic things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, or just getting around a bit and, you know, sometimes folks need a hand with meals or managing special diets like diabetes, vegetarian, or kosher, and the staff does that too, helping with three meals every day, snacks all day, and even meal help if someone needs it, so there's never a worry about going hungry, and if there's a need to arrange something special for a birthday or a holiday, there's on-site catering too so everyone feels included and comfortable. The Riley House takes care of just four residents at a time, and that means caregivers can get to know folks well, offering care that's really tailored to each person, and the place has different room choices, like private bedrooms, studio units, and even communal living spaces so folks can pick what suits their needs, and each room has emergency buttons and safety features like keyless entry with keypads which helps people feel safe, while still having their privacy. There's help any time of the day or night, especially for people living with dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or if someone struggles with movement, because the staff is trained in high acuity care and non-ambulatory care, and they make sure people are clean and feel good about themselves with grooming, bathing assistance, incontinence care, and daily hygiene help, while also offering things like medication management, monthly nurse assessments, and even handling prescriptions delivery so seniors and families really don't have to stress about the details.
Residents here can bring their cats along if they'd like, and they'll find places to enjoy, like a library area that's stocked for reading, trails and garden paths to wander, porches and patios for sitting outside, and a dining room that's set up for group meals or private occasions, which makes it feel more like a home than some big institution, and for those who enjoy gatherings or worship, there are devotional services both on-site and off, plus a chapel for quiet moments. If someone needs rehab after an illness or injury, there's physical therapy and visiting nurse practitioners and even a podiatrist who comes in, so people stay healthy and active, and for those needing to get out to the doctor's or just into town, the Riley House has scheduled group trips, transportation services, resident and guest parking, and will even help arrange moves into the community. The staff coordinates with outside doctors if needed, handles laundry and housekeeping, and gives reminders for bathroom times if someone forgets now and then. Social and physical activities are planned every day-arts and crafts, community events, group exercise, movie nights-and there's good Wi-Fi for people who like to stay connected, so boredom doesn't really have a chance, though if someone just wants peace there are indoor common rooms to relax in. The whole set up is designed for safety, comfort, and gives people as much independence as they're able, with personalized care plans, lots of one-on-one attention, and a cozy sense of belonging in a real community, not just a place to stay, and it sort of shows, since folks have given it a high rating among local assisted living spots. Taylor Farm Assisted Living Riley House keeps the feel simple, steady, and neighborly, and it's a good option for seniors who need a mix of care, comfort, and a bit of independence in a quiet setting.
