An An Assisted Living II sits in a quiet Aspen Hill neighborhood at 14245 Briarwood Terrace, Rockville, MD 20853, and it's a small place with only five private rooms, so things stay pretty peaceful and personal. This community helps seniors who want their independence but still need support with daily life-things like bathing, dressing, using the bathroom, medication reminders, and eating, all day and night. The staff includes a registered nurse around the clock and a retired general surgeon who's always available to consult, which means residents can get high-level care, such as peg tube feeding, Foley catheter care, IV antibiotics, cancer and hospice care, or memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, right where they live without fuss or worry. The team's warm, caring, and speaks several languages-Chinese (Mandarin), English, and Spanish-to help everyone feel at home, and with five rooms and a five-bed setup, it feels more like a house than an institution, with private baths, air-conditioning, cable, Wi-Fi, kitchenettes, ground-floor access, and even some private patios or balconies.
The whole place is gated and secure, with a fenced backyard and enclosed courtyards where people can relax safely, especially those who wander because of memory problems, since there's a Wander Guard system and walking paths both indoors and out, plus spaces for arts, crafts, games, a swimming pool, and a hot tub if someone feels like a soak. Residents or their families don't have to cook or clean because the staff does laundry, linens, and maintenance, and there's a professional chef who makes homemade meals-sometimes Chinese cuisine-and always offers kosher, vegetarian, low salt, or diabetic-friendly foods, served in the dining room (or in the resident's own room if they prefer), and visitors can get guest meals. People are encouraged to celebrate birthdays and holidays together, and each week there are things like yoga, stretching, live music, parties, chaplain visits, and outings.
For care, this place is licensed for level III residents, meaning they can handle a wide range of health needs, and they've got pharmacy support on site, on-staff and part-time nurses, personal care assistants, and thoughtful touches for people with special physical or mental challenges, along with help for all activities of daily living, 24/7. Management updates community information and provides plenty of resources for residents and families to understand care options. They've also got easy parking for guests, safe and wide outdoor spaces, and TV lounges plus movie rooms for relaxing. The facility does not allow pets, and payment is by check or insurance. An An Assisted Living II is small, safe, and steady-handed, and everything runs with a sense of routine care-nothing showy, just the important things done well.
