Second Home Senior Living was established with a commitment to providing exceptional, individualized care to older adults in an environment that feels comfortable, intimate, and genuinely home-like. At the heart of Second Home is the belief that each resident deserves a custom-tailored plan of care, overseen by an RN, which ensures that every individual's unique needs and preferences are respected and addressed. This approach extends to those living with dementia, with care plans following best practices to support cognitive health and wellbeing. Every resident benefits from the attentive oversight and personalized attention that form the foundation of Second Home’s philosophy.
Nestled on three serene acres in a quiet residential neighborhood in the western part of Howard County, the community is surrounded by nature, providing residents with year-round opportunities to enjoy watching wildlife and the calming embrace of a secluded, peaceful setting. The physical environment is thoughtfully designed, featuring private single-resident rooms that enhance personal comfort and allow for privacy. The building includes amenities such as recreational and exercise areas, a custom-built chairlift to ensure accessibility, and a house-wide electricity generator, all of which contribute to a safe and engaging lifestyle for residents.
At Second Home, the staff are carefully selected through a thorough vetting process. All caregivers are hired on a W-2 basis, ensuring accountability, extensive training, and close supervision; this results in a staff team that is both highly qualified and deeply invested in the wellbeing of residents. The community maintains a low caregiver-to-resident ratio, allowing caregivers to form meaningful relationships with each individual they assist and to respond swiftly and effectively to their daily needs.
Second Home Senior Living was founded out of a deeply personal journey, inspired by the experience of caring for a loved one with dementia. The name itself reflects a sense of belonging and comfort, echoing conversations about what it means to feel at home in a new country and stage of life. Second Home is more than just a residence—it stands as a place where seniors can find safety, companionship, and dignity in a setting reminiscent of their own home, surrounded by compassionate staff dedicated to making every day meaningful and fulfilling.
