Peartree House Assisted Living Shadow Oak Lane is a small, quiet place in Pasadena, Maryland that only takes care of up to 15 residents, and it's part of a broader senior living community on Shadow Oak Lane that includes apartments, condos, and townhomes for seniors who need different levels of care. The staff knows every resident by name and works hard to treat everyone like family, and there's always someone around day and night to help with whatever comes up, whether it's medicine, bathing, dressing, or just getting around the building safely. The care team has five Registered Nurses along with experienced caregivers who help with memory care, skilled nursing, and even offer special support for people who can't get out of bed or who have dementia, so no one gets overlooked or rushed.
Peartree House gives every person their own private, roomy one-bedroom apartment with a private bathroom, and they've fixed them up so they're easy to move around in, with accessible beds and safety features. The common rooms, like the day room and sunroom, have big windows that look out at the trees and greenery, so there's always a spot for people to relax or gather for a game of bingo, music, or crafts. There's also a dining room where meals-prepared with ingredients that are both healthy and tasty-get served, and a Registered Dietician checks the menus, so the food helps everyone stay strong and well. Kitchens, internet, a fitness center, a salon, and lots of helpful things like washers and dryers, cable TV, and even senior cell phones are available, too, making life comfortable and convenient.
Peartree House has activities made for people who need assisted living or memory care, so there's always something social going on, like holiday parties, outings, and exercise. Staff also helps manage medicines and can handle care needs like diabetes, incontinence, and even hospice care when it's required, and there's both home health and skilled nursing for when someone needs extra medical attention. The building's set up with sprinklers and security to keep everyone safe, and there are devices like medication dispensers and medical alert systems such as Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, and ADT Medical Alert so people can get help fast if there's a problem.
The place offers transportation to get to doctors or nearby restaurants and shops, and staff can help with VA benefits and financial advice, or even home sale help if someone's moving in. They accept long-term care insurance, provide personal care assistants and have laundry and housekeeping services to make sure everyone enjoys a clean, well-kept home. Family members are welcome to visit, and there are guest meals available for them, as well as devotional services if someone wants to attend.
