HeartLands Assisted Living at Severna Park sits on a wooded lot with well-kept grounds and gives seniors a range of care options, so folks can move in when they need a little help and stay as they need more. The community has assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and offers short-term respite stays. The memory care unit sits in its own building and has safety features, like bracelets with alarms, a computerized wandering system, and call buttons, so that residents who tend to wander or get confused will be safer. Suites in memory care have twin beds, dressers, closets, small beverage carts, and kitchenettes with wood cabinets and granite counters, and offer bathroom features like walk-in showers, grab bars, and wheelchair access. Assisted living suites have plenty of light, comfortable chairs, beds, and private or shared baths. Everyone gets meals included, and the dining setup has options for restaurant-style service, a private dining room, and room service, with special meals for low-sodium or low-sugar diets. There's a café, a bar, a movie theater, an activity studio, and a salon for hair and grooming needs. The indoor heated pool and outdoor pool give options for exercise or relaxing, and there's a gazebo, pond, gardens, and patio with umbrella seating in memory care. Pets like cats and dogs can live here, and there's pet therapy and a dog park, so animals are part of the day too.
The staff covers all hours, including nurses and a doctor on call, and assist with daily living-bathing, transfers, medication, diabetic care, hospice, incontinence, and physical needs, even using mechanical lifts if needed. There are full-time activity directors who plan group trips, game and movie nights, social clubs, arts, classes, and exercise programs, so there's usually something to do. Rehabilitation services like physical, speech, or occupational therapy are on-site, and specialists like podiatrists and dentists visit. Residents can attend chapels and religious services in-house, and there's a computer room, library, and plenty of communal spaces both indoors and out for visits, hobbies, and events. Families can see model apartments and check the grounds in person, and the grand staircase gives the place a hotel-like look inside. The gated property handles parking, transportation, housekeeping, basic cable, and internet, and they even offer volunteer roles and intergenerational programs to keep everyone involved. HeartLands is part of Five Star Senior Living and keeps a focus on dignity, safety, and community for older adults who want choices and steady support as their needs change.
