Mamie's Loving Care II sits over at 522 Kisconko Turn in Fort Washington, Maryland, in a quiet spot where up to five older adults can live together in a safe and home-like setting, and they've made it to where folks can pick from private suites, semi-private rooms, or studio layouts, all of which are fully furnished with things like private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, telephone, and even kitchenettes in case somebody wants to do a bit of light cooking now and then, and there's both shared and private living quarters available if you prefer your own space or don't mind someone else close by. The kitchen staff prepares one or two homemade meals every day using organic foods and ingredients, and snacks are set out between meals so no one goes without. There's a dining room for eating together, and you'll find plenty of housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are handled by the staff, so those daily chores don't fall on the residents' shoulders. The staff helps with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and moving around-whether that's with a little standby help, one-person or two-person lifts, or mechanical equipment if needed-so people who need light, medium, or heavy levels of care can usually stay right here as their needs change over time.
Those with memory care needs have a special, secured wing in its own purpose-built building with a wander alert system, making it safer for those living with dementia or Alzheimer's, and trained staff stay awake and on-site, with a call system and pull cords within arm's reach for quick help at any hour, and they can handle medication management, regular health checks, and more complex needs like diabetes care, high acuity supervision, and Parkinson's care. The nurse is always just a call away, and there's access to rehabilitation, moving assistance, incontinence care, help with dressing, and behavior support for those who need it. Individual care plans get made for each resident, and there are options for married couples who want to live together or for single individuals. The community's pretty small, which can feel cozy and less overwhelming, with eight assisted living units in total, plus ADA-compliant bathrooms, shared indoor and outdoor gathering areas, and a secure yard with landscaped walking trails and places to sit in the garden, so people can get out and take in a bit of fresh air. There's parking for visitors, and transportation's available for trips to medical appointments, errands, and even some off-site activities.
Life at Mamie's stays active and social with events, movie nights, parties, cards, and board games, plus access to a hair salon and massage services right on the property, and folks can even join devotional services, computer classes, or group outings. The facility takes care to offer services that fit the health and lifestyle needs of seniors, whether that's general healthcare, meal prep, rehabilitation, or just a helping hand. Residents are left to enjoy as much independence as possible but always have support around if needed, whether that's for heavy assistance, personal care, or simply a little help getting around. The grounds, security systems, and organized routines let everyone feel comfortable, and since Mamie's Loving Care II keeps things small and cost-effective, it works well for people looking for ongoing care in a quieter, home-style setting, where the staff watches out for changes in health and can step in with more support as time goes on.
