Ray&J Assisted Living Facility sits on 3.5 acres behind a fence, far from the road in Fort Washington, Maryland, and provides care for up to five people in a two-story ranch-style building with private, semi-private, and shared suites, where residents receive support as needed with daily activities like bathing, dressing, using the bathroom, walking, and taking medicine, and the staff-who include the owner Rediat Tadesse, a certified assisted living manager and certified med tech, along with her mother, an LPN nurse with over 20 years of experience-focus on offering personal and skilled care day and night, so families can have some peace of mind. The facility handles assisted living, memory care, independent living, and nursing home care, and also offers board and care, respite stays for short-term relief, and specialized programming for memory care residents who have dementia or Alzheimer's, with staff trained in keeping people safe and engaged. Residents pick from different suite types-bedroom furniture comes with each room, but residents can bring their own artwork and photos to help each space feel familiar and comfortable, and there's open backyard and front yard space for enjoying the outdoors or just relaxing.
Ray&J features several touches aimed at making daily life easier, like walk-in tubs, medication dispensers, medical alert systems, and home security, plus fully accessible rooms, washers and dryers, a sprinkler system, fitness and recreation spaces, dining rooms, cable TV, high-speed internet, and guest parking. Meals are healthy, fresh, and planned for seniors' diets, and the staff helps with laundry, personal care, and keeping rooms clean. There are on-site nursing and medication support, visits from podiatrists, wound care, and occupational therapy available. Residents join in simple social activities, arts and crafts, wellness programs, and get help with getting to appointments or outings around town, since transportation and parking are arranged as needed.
Ray&J Assisted Living Facility welcomes consultation visits, both in person and virtually, for families wanting to see what's offered and hear about policies for move-in, care plans, and individualized safety steps for memory care. The facility has procedures for waiting lists, tours, and contract terms, with a focus on privacy and comfort for everyone living there, and they guide people through the differences between assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing, because not everybody needs the same care. Reviews from families often mention the warm, family-run nature of the place, and the fact that birthdays and special moments are part of daily life, with a caring staff who treat everyone kindly and know each resident well. While Medicare and Medicaid won't cover payment here, the facility helps families talk through insurance options and costs before move-in, and there's always friendly help close by if someone needs it, night or day.
