College Manor

College Manor sits on 11 acres in old Lutherville in a historic building that used to be a girls' college, and inside you'll find a homey, country-style house where most folks are over 90, with a family-owned and family-run feeling that's been steady for 64 years. The place offers private rooms or fancy suites, with gardens and walking paths outside, and inside there's a grand piano, a painting space, areas for tai chi, and a library; residents can enjoy restaurant-style dining with three nutritious daily meals made with good ingredients and plenty of options for dietary needs. College Manor covers independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, respite and rehabilitative care, and continuing care retirement community options, all in one spot, so whether someone just wants to be independent and join in on activities when they want, or needs more help with bathing, dressing, meals, medication, or memory issues, there's support in place with a caring, professional staff-there's even a nurse running the community and doctors can come in to provide home care. The staff covers nursing, therapies, housework, maintenance and activities, with different directors in charge, plus there's an activities director who runs a packed calendar, so residents can do painting, exercise, tai chi, or just enjoy music, and there are always social trips for shopping or cultural outings, plus room for visiting friends and family to share a meal in the dining area or take a walk in the courtyard. Safety's covered, with personal call systems, smoke detectors, and sprinkler systems in all rooms, and the family atmosphere means staff will know the residents well, tending to needs big and small, from physical exercises and nutritional support to handling medication and care plans for those with Alzheimer's or dementia. College Manor has a real extended family feeling, offers private and secure living, supports daily living activities, and tries to make sure everyone can keep their independence and dignity for as long as possible, and with the gardens and cozy spaces, plus a schedule of events and good food, it feels more like a long-time family home than a big institution.
