Delmar Manor Assisted Living sits in Delmar, Maryland, and has a license from the state for both assisted living and Alzheimer's care, with a focus on providing a safe and calm setting for adults who need extra help, and you can see that in the way the place is fully secure inside and out, with no open wandering, and high staff presence. The building is small and home-like, with only 16 beds, large private or semi-private rooms, even two-room suites, so folks have space to make their own, and every bathroom is accessible for those who use wheelchairs or need extra room to move about, which is especially helpful for anyone needing help with walking or transferring, and the staff's always trained to use mechanical lifts when needed. Delmar Manor stands out as the only free-standing Alzheimer's community on the Eastern Shore and specializes in caring for seniors with Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, Lewy Body, stroke, diabetes, or other memory problems, with individualized care plans, incontinence care, and direct help for people who can't walk alone, even providing one-person or two-person transfer help, monitoring blood sugars, and giving insulin injections, all with an RN always there to coordinate care, medications, therapies, and doctor visits. There's 24-hour care from certified team members, and the high staff-to-resident ratio, about 1 to 8, assures people get the help they need at any hour, which is important for both daily and ongoing needs, with all medication management, laundry, and housekeeping included at no extra charge, and families get peace of mind knowing staff respond fast and know what each resident needs.
The community serves meals that are cooked right in the facility, offering several menu choices so you can pick what fits your tastes, and every plate focuses on home-cooked style, plus free cable television, a home movie theater for group shows, and regular events with music, so no one has to go without entertainment or a familiar comfort. For folks needing extra therapy-physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy-all can be arranged on-site, just like x-rays and lab work, which means traveling back and forth to other clinics is lessened, especially since transportation's available for trips out, and hospice care is an option so people can stay through every stage, from independent living to end of life, without being moved out of the community. People living here can join in a steady schedule of daily activities, family gatherings, and special events designed for memory care, all aimed at keeping minds active and bonds strong, while also making time for social get-togethers so folks don't get lonely and can make friends.
Families can take advantage of respite care for short-term stays as well, and the building's policy towards pets is clear, with each resident knowing up front if pets are allowed or not, so there won't be any confusion. The cost structure covers all services in one monthly rent, with the entry fee equal to a month's rent, so there aren't extra bills stacking up. Every person coming in gets help with applications for VA benefits or other financial aid if needed. Everything stays focused on dignity and comfort, letting people age in place with a strong routine, stability, and trained help, making Delmar Manor a choice for those needing secure Alzheimer's, dementia, or senior care in a simple, welcoming environment.
