John B. Parsons Assisted Living Community sits on Lemmon Hill Lane in Salisbury, Maryland, in a beautiful, historic mansion that's been serving seniors on the Delmarva Peninsula for over 100 years, and when you walk up to the porch filled with rockers or step inside to see fine art, antiques, and elegant décor all around, you get a true sense of Southern charm and a close-knit caring community that values a ministry approach to caregiving and works from a Christian perspective, making residents feel at home. This family-owned and operated place offers different sizes of private suites, allowing seniors to pick what fits best, and runs assisted living and memory care with a high standard, skilled caregivers, and a warm, supportive environment. Residents get daily help with things like bathing, dressing, managing medicine, transfers, and other daily tasks, with wheelchair access and help for folks with mobility issues, plus an emergency call system for safety so help's always close.
There's a fitness center with treadmills, ellipticals, weights, and exercise programs like Move and Groove, Functional Fitness, and Sit and Be Fit, which encourage everyone to stay active. Art rooms, cozy parlors, sunrooms, a garden, walking paths, organized movie nights, resident-run activities, and daily arts and entertainment programs help make life interesting and build friendships. The dining room gives all-day restaurant-style meals, including meals made for people with allergies or diabetes, and a Registered Dietitian works with the kitchen to make sure everyone's special dietary needs get met. Family can join meals or host celebrations, and the concierge service helps with scheduling transportation or getting deliveries sorted out. The place is kept clean with housekeeping and laundry services, and rooms come furnished with phones, emergency alert systems, and easy access to staff 24/7.
On-site medical care is available, so seniors can get physical, speech, or occupational therapy, see a nurse, or get medicine delivered by pharmacy service without having to leave. Scheduled transportation helps folks get to doctor's appointments or off-site activities, and a respite care program lets families arrange for short-term stays or support when needed. Anyone living there can join community-sponsored activities, and many residents help plan things themselves, which keeps everyone involved. The home keeps high standards in every part of its care, with a focus on respect, comfort, and meeting each resident's unique needs, while keeping things simple, homelike, and friendly, which many folks appreciate. There's also a website where you can learn more about their services and daily life.
