Kenwood Care Autumn Hill sits over on 12401 Lime Kiln Road in Fulton, Maryland, which folks say is nice and peaceful, and it's one of four Howard County homes managed by Kenwood Care, a family-owned group that's been running since 1997. People like the calm, home-like feeling there, probably because of the quiet neighborhood and a staff that always treats the residents like neighbors, not just numbers. The place offers both assisted living and memory care services, so residents with Alzheimer's or dementia get help from real Alzheimer's disease specialists, and there's always a 2.5 to 1 resident-to-caregiver ratio, so everyone gets attention around the clock, even with overnight awake staff and some caregivers living in. Folks say the caregivers are friendly, patient, and easy to talk to, and the family that owns the place is usually nearby. The buildings have been remodeled to meet ADA standards for accessibility and comfort, with plenty of ground-floor rooms and wide doorways for wheelchairs or walkers, so getting around isn't a problem, and there's outdoor patios for anyone who wants some fresh air in a secure, fenced area.
The rates are all-inclusive and fixed, and there are never any entrance or service fees or price hikes, so you always know what you're paying. Residents have access to top medical partners, on-site diagnostic services, and regular visits from specialists in Alzheimer's, dementia, and senior care, so folks can get medication management, diabetic support, incontinence help, and non-ambulatory care when needed. Social activities, educational programs, and entertainment make up a set schedule, and there's transportation for outings or appointments, so folks aren't stuck inside all day. The dining is set up restaurant-style, which many people like for comfort and social experience, and the food is served in a bright, roomy dining space. Memory care is handled carefully, with secure outdoor spaces to keep everyone safe and therapies meant to support people living with memory loss. Reviews say Autumn Hill is clean, safe, and well-staffed, and the Howard County Office on Aging inspects the place regularly, so standards are kept up, and the facility holds licenses from the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Office of Healthcare Quality. Amenities include fast Wi-Fi, cable TV, house phones, big common areas with fireplaces, and plenty of free parking for visitors. Autumn Hill may not be flashy, but it's steady, giving folks a place that feels familiar and simple, with a lot of care from people who take the work seriously and aim to make life feel meaningful no matter someone's health or needs.
