Arcadia of Crofton I, which used to be called Autumn Meadows, sits in a quiet spot between the Magothy and Severn rivers, across from Anne Arundel Medical Center. This care home has 16 private rooms in a single-story building surrounded by woods, and it feels much like a big, comfortable house where the staff knows everyone's name. The place offers assisted living, memory care, respite care, and short-term stays, and there's always a focus on personal attention-helping with dressing, bathing, grooming, and medication reminders whenever needed.
Residents can enjoy home-style meals each day, and there's a choice for those who need gluten-free, low sodium, vegetarian, vegan, or meals for sugar restrictions. You'll see the staff helping with housekeeping, laundry, cooking, cleaning, and providing transportation for doctor visits or outings, and there's always easy access to Wi-Fi for those who want to keep in touch with family or watch something on cable TV. Arcadia of Crofton I has private bathrooms in each unit, air conditioning, and handicap-accessible ground floor rooms, so moving around isn't hard, even using a wheelchair.
Seniors get to take part in all kinds of group activities like brain fitness, stretching, trivia games, devotional gatherings, Bible studies, karaoke, and music performances, along with art and holiday parties, and there's space to gather for family visits both inside and outside. There's a chaplain or priest for spiritual needs, plus beautician services on site, and the monthly rate for a private room is $5,000. The place is pet-friendly for residents who want a companion, and the atmosphere encourages visits from loved ones.
The staff includes experienced assisted living and memory care professionals who watch over residents day and night, and there's specialized care for those dealing with diabetes, medication management, and incontinence. The facility keeps a home-like environment where everyone's care plan is tailored to their needs, and there's a sense of community that helps people stay connected through regular events, celebrations, and social gatherings in spacious, well-lit rooms. This senior living community has received The Capital's Best Assisted Living Award every year for the past four years, which says something about the dedication shown by both the staff and families involved.
