Home Sweet Home 2 sits at 138 Clarence Avenue in Severna Park, Maryland, where it serves as a small assisted living and care home with only five resident units, and that limited size means staff can give personalized attention and keep the place feeling like a real home instead of a big facility, so when residents need a little extra help, like getting dressed, bathing, or moving around safely, there's always someone close by, and caregivers stay on staff and awake 24 hours a day which really helps folks who may have trouble at night or need quick support. The home runs as a secure community, which especially matters for folks with Alzheimer's or other memory issues, since doors use keypads and there are systems that keep everyone safe and prevent wandering, and the memory care program accepts up to five residents, focusing on special treatments and activities meant to support cognitive health, offer comfort, and stop isolation.
The place cares for both short-term and long-term stays, so there's respite care for families who need a break or hospice care when it's needed, and help is available for common conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, dementia, Parkinson's disease, and incontinence, including special meal options like pureed foods or sugar- and salt-controlled menus-all meals are home-cooked three times a day, and snacks are set out, with residents' health needs in mind. Home Sweet Home 2 has a mix of private or shared rooms, including small studios and some with in-room washer and dryer, and there's a choice of fully furnished rooms or bringing your own things to make the place feel familiar.
There are activities every day, with music therapy, creative and fitness programs, tabletop games like cards or bingo, movie nights, book room gatherings, regular outdoor trips, and community events in the evening, so there's always a chance to do something and maybe meet neighbors, watch a film, or join birthday parties. Residents can use the fitness room, garden spaces, outdoor porches, TV area, book nook, and spa area which comes with a steam room or jacuzzi for relaxation, and staff schedules trips for shopping, doctor and hospital appointments, and faith-based events if needed, including taking care of transportation arrangements and helping with moving between residences.
Support covers everyday things like medication management, grooming and hygiene routines, shower or bath help, in-room safety, and mobility assistance-even for non-ambulatory folks or those who need two-person transfers, and a registered nurse checks in at least once a month for wellness and health. The place keeps up with all housework and laundry, offers move-in help, and brings in a mobile hairdresser for haircuts and grooming.
With community safety systems, keypad entries, staff always on duty, and programs made to keep emotional and physical health in mind, Home Sweet Home 2 tries to make seniors feel comfortable, engaged, and respected in a calm home-like space that helps with both basic and special needs, especially for those who do best in a small, cozy, and attentive setting.
