Sycamore Acres Group Home

Sycamore Acres Group Home is a small, home-like residential care facility licensed with state number 15ALO281-F in Maryland that provides a quiet, comfortable environment for up to 12 residents and focuses on comfort, safety, and building community rather than fancy extras. The home offers both private and semi-private fully furnished rooms with options like wheelchair-accessible showers, full tubs, emergency alert systems, and 24-hour awake staff so residents can feel secure and get help quickly whenever they need it, which is important especially for people who might need help with bathing, dressing, medication, or getting around. Staff are trained to handle a wide range of care levels, from light support to more intensive help, and the facility offers services like Assisted Living, Memory Care in a secure building with alarms and safety bracelets, skilled nursing support, hospice care for end-of-life needs, and short-term respite stays for those whose regular caregivers need a break. There's a focus on helping seniors stay active and involved with many community programs, such as scheduled activities, movie nights, clubs, exercise routines, music and pet therapy, educational events, religious activities, and off-site outings, plus they've got a game room, reading area, and even a wellness space with a steam room and hot tub so there's always something for residents to do if they feel up to it. Meals are cooked right on site three times a day, and staff can accommodate different diets like diabetic, allergy-sensitive, low sodium, or special requests for other conditions, with choices to eat in the dining area or get food any time thanks to the all-day dining options, and healthy snacks are available between meals too. For health and personal needs, residents can get help from trained professionals for daily activities-like bathing, dressing, or bathroom support-there's coordination for medication and appointments, and visiting health professionals can provide things like dental, podiatry, hearing, and nursing care when needed. People with memory issues or dementia benefit from a separate, locked-down memory care section made especially for their safety, using alarms and bracelets for monitoring, and the community grounds have secure walking paths, an enclosed courtyard, and gardens for safe outdoor time. There's on-site laundry and linen service, plus regular housekeeping, and a mobile stylist or hairdresser comes in for haircuts and personal care. Scheduled transportation helps residents get to doctor's appointments, shopping trips, and events safely, and there's resident parking if families or visitors want to come by. Payment options let folks use private pay, Long Term Care Insurance, Veterans Aid and Attendance, and other approved methods, and rates start at $3,000 a month for Assisted Living, though prices can change based on the kind of care, room choice, or extra amenities a resident might need. The whole atmosphere is homey and supportive, with a strong focus on dignity, respect, and helping each person live as independently as they're able to, and the committed staff work hard to make Sycamore Acres Group Home a safe place where older adults can feel like part of a community and find both comfort and security, and that's really what matters most when it comes to a place designed for folks in those later years.
