Golden Years Senior Assisted sits on Ridge Road in Mount Airy, Maryland, and offers a quiet, one-level living space for seniors who need daily help with things like bathing, dressing, or medication. You'll find eight assisted living units here, so the place stays pretty homey and you won't feel lost in a crowd. The facility provides private and semi-private rooms, all furnished, and you'll see plenty of cozy shared spaces like a café, lounge, and a home-style dining area where staff serve three home-cooked meals every day. If a resident needs a special meal plan, say for diabetes or allergies, the kitchen can adjust, and families can join for meals, barbecues, or holiday celebrations whenever they like.
Seniors living at Golden Years can take part in a good number of planned activities: movie nights, music programs, craft sessions, fitness classes, games, and outdoor strolls. They even have evening social events and outdoor barbeques. There's a reading room, gardens, areas for pets, and sometimes visits from school children who share activities with residents, which keeps things lively. If a resident enjoys more unique activities like music therapy, pet therapy, or board games, staff do their best to fit these into the schedule.
Staff there help with errands-ride arrangements for trips to doctors, shops, or spiritual services are provided. There's an on-site care team with a physician, a nurse practitioner, and a podiatrist, plus visiting hair stylists, and they handle things like medication, health plan updates, daily laundry, and housekeeping. Golden Years has care available 24 hours every day and can help with insulin, two-person transfers, or non-ambulatory needs if that's required.
For those who need memory help, there's a Memory Care program with Alzheimer's activities and a secure community setup that keeps everyone safe but lets folks move around freely inside. Special touches like an emergency alert system in rooms, outside walking paths, and pet-friendly rules all help residents feel at home.
Being a small business means less staff turnover and more personal attention, and the facility welcomes families and visitors to join in programs, meals, and seasonal celebrations to keep connections strong. Respite care and hospice support are also on offer if needed for short stays. If a resident wants to meet new friends, socialize, or relax in the gardens, there's always something going on, and everyone's encouraged to join in, and with housekeeping and meal service handled, residents get plenty of time to enjoy the company and activities around them.
