Somerford House And Place Hagerstown

Somerford House And Place Hagerstown sits on a landscaped campus that offers both assisted living and memory care in a homelike setting with porches, common rooms, a piano, and cozy suites that residents can decorate themselves, and there's a good range of floor plans including studios, semi-private rooms, and apartments with walk-in closets, kitchenettes, and patios or balconies, so there's something for people who like a bit more independence and those who need extra support. There's staff on site round the clock, with nurses and LPNs available, and they help residents with daily needs like grooming or toileting, and in the case of memory care, they've got a separate locked building with safety systems-residents wear bracelets that alert staff if anyone starts to wander, and the facility does take people who need supervision for difficult, wandering, or elopement behaviors, as well as those needing complex care or help with transfers no matter the level. The memory care section has apartments called Antietam, Hager, and Sharpsburg Suites, and the whole place is laid out on one level that's airy and open, which helps people with dementia stay safer and more comfortable, and activities are designed for all abilities, with a full-time director setting up things like art classes, stretching, gardening, lectures, Wii bowling, movie nights, and even intergenerational programs with kids. The community is pet friendly-people can bring their cats or dogs and there's pet therapy and a dog park, and there are guest meals, a private dining room, room service, and restaurant-style dining, plus special diets like gluten-free, vegan, low sodium, and low sugar, so people who need that can have it without fuss. There are both indoor and outdoor common areas, like gardens and a gazebo, and an activity studio, bar and cocktail lounge, beauty salon and barbershop, and a chapel for devotional services, and residents can use a fitness center, heated pool, and computer workstations. For transportation, there's parking on site and sometimes rides are provided, and for folks needing medical help or end-of-life care, home care, respite, hospice, and rehab are available. Besides basic care, the staff remind people to join activities or meals if needed and make sure everyone gets housekeeping, laundry, and extra services like in-house doctor visits, and there's coverage for American Sign Language so everyone can be included in communication and activities. Somerford House And Place Hagerstown tries to be a community where seniors can find support for dementia, behavioral needs, regular assisted living, and transitional or short-term stays, with a little something to help every person stay as active and comfortable as they're able.
