Golden Crest Assisted Living offers assisted living care in a home-like setting, with five small homes in Carroll County, Maryland, mainly in Westminster and Hampstead, each licensed for up to 16 residents. The staff helps with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication, and works from care plans made for each resident's needs, covering health services like diabetic care, incontinence support, and regular nurse visits. Memory care is available for those with dementia, and the model of care is based on quick response times, which often go faster than the usual industry standard. Each facility has private rooms, most with private full bathrooms and wheelchair-accessible showers, and there are indoor and outdoor common areas and open, landscaped spaces for residents to enjoy. Residents get chef-prepared meals and snacks every day, along with housekeeping and laundry services each week. There are regular social events and outings, daily activities such as exercise, games, arts and crafts, cooking, and dancing, and a focus on keeping everyone involved, with devotional and spiritual activities included.
Transportation is available with some rides offered free and others at a cost, and resident parking is provided. Services like podiatry, lab work, mobile imaging, and therapy are available, and an on-call physician helps with medical needs. The facility doesn't accept Medicare for care unless certified, but participates in Carroll County's Senior Assisted Living Subsidy program to help those who qualify. Golden Crest keeps its fees all-inclusive with no surprise charges for extra services, and the small size of each home helps staff respond quickly to resident needs. Amenities include a gym, activity rooms, a library, salon and barbershop, and plenty of space for families to visit and for residents to spend time outside. There's a clear focus on building a safe and family-like atmosphere, helping seniors keep their independence and giving families support. The homes are licensed, surveyed by local agencies, and aim to build a comfortable, respectful community for seniors.
