Big O Assisted Living sits quietly in Randallstown, Maryland, and has a small community with just four assisted living units, which means folks get to know each other pretty well and staff can really focus on each person. The place offers several living options, including semi-private rooms, studio suites, and one-bedroom apartments, all with pull cords in case help's needed quickly, and rooms come furnished but residents can still bring their own touches to make them feel like home. There's always someone around with a 24-hour awake staff, a call system, and a registered nurse on-call, plus round-the-clock healthcare support and a security setup with keypad entries.
Big O provides help with daily needs like bathing, getting dressed, toileting, and moving about, so people don't have to worry much about things getting harder over time. Medication management is managed closely, with staff coordinating with healthcare providers and nurses checking in monthly and more if needed, and for those who need therapy or struggle with memory, there are special services, memory care, and rooms for therapy. They help with moving in, laundry's taken care of, housekeeping and all utilities are included, so seniors can enjoy maintenance-free living without needing to cook or clean, though there's a communal kitchen area for those who like to prepare something themselves.
Meals come three times a day, many made with organic ingredients, and for those with special needs like food allergies or diabetes, there are dietary menu options, so everyone eats well. Folks dine together in a community dining room and can snack from the snack shop, and there are outdoor spaces, porches, walking paths, and gardens for fresh air, plus indoor lounges and a library for quiet or family visits. Big O's wellness center and fitness room give residents somewhere to keep moving, and there's a movie theater room for movie nights and regular social gatherings, bingo games, birthday parties, and community-sponsored events. Transportation is set up for outings, doctor visits, and errands, and there's both private and shared rides if someone needs to go somewhere.
Security's given a lot of attention, with keypad entry, emergency response in every room, and supervision all day and night, so families worry less. There's caregiver support that focuses on respect and kindness, special attention for memory concerns, and help for primary caregivers who need a temporary break with respite care. Seniors can choose private or shared rooms, and all the apartments have kitchenettes and private baths, air-conditioning, phone and internet, and cable service. Parking's available, there's a garden, balconies, maintenance of the rooms, and help for residents with tasks like incontinence care if that's needed.
Daily activities keep folks busy and give a sense of community, with scheduled activities like card games, recreation, and wellness programs, and special entertainment on holidays and birthdays, so there's always something to do or look forward to. Big O's staff speak English and provide support in a way that encourages independence and dignity, helping with transfers, medication, bathing, dressing, sitting up or down, and handling unscheduled needs, all while trying to make it feel as homelike as possible. The facility is certified as an assisted living, memory care, and senior living option, offers respite care and focuses on promoting well-being, with simple move-in coordination and all-around support that covers what most seniors need as they age, whether for a short stay or long term.
