AlfredHouse Elder Care, Inc.

AlfredHouse Elder Care, Inc. runs several small, home-like care homes for seniors across Rockville, Derwood, Potomac, and Silver Spring. The company's been around since 1992, and folks say it feels warm and welcoming, more like a family house than a big institution. Staff stay day and night, always ready to help with things like bathing, dressing, grooming, and taking medicine, so residents don't have to worry about going without support. The team's trained and includes registered nurses, medical specialists, and geriatric care staff-there's even a medical director on site. Residents with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia get extra attention, with secure doors and activities meant to calm anxiety or slow memory loss. They do laundry, cook meals, and keep the place clean, and everybody's personal care and grooming is watched over. Folks who need help for a short time can stay for respite care, including after a hospital trip, and there's home care if someone wants to keep living at home with a bit of help. Each house is on one level with no stairs, which makes getting around safer and easier for most. People can live in assisted living, memory care, board and care, senior apartments, or even independent living with optional support and activities, all in smaller communities that don't feel crowded. There are also programs for mental health support, behavior management, and therapy, with regular outings and activities planned by a recreation director. Natural therapies, like aromatherapy and time in garden areas, are sometimes used, and residents get regular schedules, home-cooked meals, cleaning, and safety from alarmed exits. The philosophy at AlfredHouse Elder Care is called "Care without compromise," and the company hires caring, certified staff who focus on kindly treating people while respecting their independence and dignity. Throughout the day, the staff help residents with daily routines and give everyone chances for social time, group activities, and trips-to places like the theater-so folks can stay engaged and feel part of a friendly community.
