Milo Care is a small assisted living home in Silver Spring, Maryland, though there's also a location called Milo Care Inc. in Forest Glen with a similar setup, and both places hold up to five or seven residents at most, creating more of a family-like setting than many facilities, which can make a big difference in daily comfort for folks who don't want crowds but still need steady, round-the-clock help. The staff helps with things like bathing, grooming, dressing, bathroom use, medication, and moving around, there's nurses on staff and a nurse on call, and the care includes special help for folks with Parkinson's, dementia, or Alzheimer's, with a dementia waiver in place if that's needed, and hospice is also available if required. Every resident gets a service plan to fit their own health needs, and Milo Care works with dietary restrictions, so the kitchen team can make meals for people with diabetes, allergies, heart issues, or just special requests, serving up three daily home-style meals catered for various diets.
Apartments come in different sizes-there are shared apartments, studios, one-bedroom suites, both private and semi-private rooms, and most are furnished, all with emergency alert systems for peace of mind, plus there's 24-hour security and supervision as needed, especially for those who don't walk much or need to be watched more closely. For recreation and daily life, the community sets up regular activities like crafts, movie nights in the theater room, music therapy, fitness and exercise groups, gardening, walking trails, and community social gatherings, with staff encouraging everyone to stay as active as they can. Facilities round out with some nice extras, like a cafe, private dining options, a library or book room, game rooms, workout spots, a beauty salon and barber service, jacuzzis, saunas, walking paths, parking, and wheelchair access all over, making the place friendlier for folks with different needs.
Milo Care offers basic housekeeping, laundry, and case management, as well as valet and transportation services to help folks get to doctor's appointments, shopping, or faith-based activities, and if people need errands or shopping done, the staff can usually work that out as part of their support. They allow pets, which can be important to a lot of people, and both men and women are welcome. They hold a 4.0 star rating, and their services stand out for careful planning and respect for each resident. The community is licensed, monitored by the Maryland Department of Social Services, and follows a client-centered approach, meaning care is based on what each person really wants and needs, instead of one-size-fits-all rules. Rooms are available for both short-term stays if a caregiver needs respite, or for long-term assisted living, and seniors can enjoy a home-like pace of life while still having trained staff nearby to handle emergencies or health changes. Milo Care also offers in-home care and case management for people who want to stay in their own homes but still need help with meals, cleaning, daily tasks, and medication, and the whole setup fits people who want a small, simple, comfortable place with all the basics and some nice touches on top.
