Nichols Senior Care

Nichols Senior Care sits in Edgewood, Maryland at 1111 Hanson Road, tucked into a green, wooded area with gardens for quiet walks or just a nice seat outside, and the place is small with only 16 licensed beds, so folks living here get more personal attention from staff who always seem busy helping someone or sitting and talking in the living room, and the rooms come in different sizes like private, shared, and studio setups, all clean and simple with an easy layout to move around in, and for those who like company, there are group activities like Bible reading or games in common areas with HD TVs and a games room. The place handles care for many needs, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing home level services, so whether someone needs help just getting dressed or full help with transferring and bathroom needs, there are trained staff and a nurse on call all the time, day and night, with a focus on safety since there's a 24/7 security system. Folks with Alzheimer's or other memory issues have special support like dementia-friendly menus, reminders for daily needs, and staff who pay close attention to comfort and routine. Meals cooked in-house come with a dietitian's oversight, and all the meals are included, which makes it easy for people not to worry about shopping or planning, while the kitchen stays open for anyone wanting to make their own snack or tea. Housekeeping and laundry are handled, and there are beautician and barber visits right inside, so there's less need to travel for appointments, though rides are arranged for people who want to get out for errands, plus there's a fitness room, walking paths, and a chapel for those wanting to keep active or attend services. Nichols Senior Care welcomes pets, offers a home-like feel, and aims for upper-class standards without being too fancy, focusing on a tidy, odor-free, and comfortable place where staff really notice if someone's having a good or bad day. Families say it's something of a hidden gem because of steady, attentive care and a sense that staff and owners put effort into making each person feel known and safe, and the custom care plans adjust if someone's needs change. All of this comes together for seniors in Edgewood and nearby areas who want a mix of freedom, support, good company, and reliable care in a comfortable place that's not too big or crowded.
