Assisted Living at Hawkins Gate LLC sits in a quiet, residential neighborhood in La Plata, Maryland, and has served the community since 2011 as a small alternative to bigger institutions, choosing a private home setting with room for only five residents so people get more attention and less noise, which really helps folks who might feel isolated in bigger buildings. The staff includes Certified Medication Technicians who stay available 24 hours a day to help with bathing, dressing, medication management, transfers, and any daily activities folks need, and there's non-ambulatory care and wheelchair accessibility all through the house for those who need it, as well. The home focuses on assisted living for seniors and the disabled, including folks with mild to moderate dementia, and tries to fit care to each person instead of using one plan for everybody. The place keeps an emergency alert system, secure locked entrances, and a nurse on call for safety.
Residents get a home-cooked meal plan with options for different dietary needs, using fresh food from Chesapeake Farmery pretty often, and meals happen in a big dining/living room where everyone can gather. Housekeeping and laundry come with rent, and the staff handles house chores like cleaning and linen changes, so folks don't have to worry about those things. Private rooms have cable or satellite TV and WiFi, and there's common areas with cable TV, a movie night set-up, and space for arts and crafts, music programs, and horticulture activities. Residents can join in with educational events, book clubs, social opportunities, and field trips planned by the staff to keep things engaging.
The home provides transportation, reserved parking, and move-in help for those arriving. Family, friends, and healthcare providers can visit easily, and the administrator is available during weekday business hours, though the staff is always there, day and night, to help. Medical support like hospice care, pharmacy services, and coordination with doctors is available. The setting aims for comfort and independence, trying to feel like a true home, keeping everyone safe and looked after, and making sure each resident gets the amount of care and help they need, without making anybody feel like a number. Residents can pay by check or credit card, and the all-inclusive rent covers housing, food, housekeeping, and most services, so folks won't be surprised by hidden costs when the bill comes.
