Sligo Creek Healthcare

Sligo Creek Healthcare, also called Alterwood Healthcare, sits in Takoma Park, MD and has served seniors for over 30 years, and you'll find this place offers several care options like skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, independent living, senior apartments, and even home care if someone's not ready to move in, which means families can usually find something that works for their needs or preferences, and they take extra steps for people who need extra support, especially those with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, mental health needs, or special conditions like needing orthopedic rehab, ventilator care, dialysis, or memory support. People staying here get 24-hour nursing and personal care, because the staff stays on-site at all times, making sure someone's always around for help or emergencies, and the place has special units for people moving out of the hospital but not quite ready to go home, plus secure memory care areas designed to prevent wandering and confusion, which helps keep residents safe. Sligo Creek Healthcare provides short-term rehab and long-term care, with speech, physical, and occupational therapies, and there's contract rehab therapy for folks needing extra help to recover, along with respiratory therapy, physician services, and accountable care programs, so care is always complete and personalized. Meals come from trained chefs and planners who work to give balanced, tasty foods, and there are dining options that let people visit with others and enjoy a little social time, plus services like housekeeping, beauty care, and transportation help keep life easier and more comfortable. You'll see they also have one and two-bedroom units, so some people can have more privacy or enough space for special needs, and residents get to join activities for every interest, from exercise programs to recreation and group outings, because the aim is to engage everyone socially, physically, mentally, and emotionally. The staff here gets described as joyful, friendly, and helpful, and families often mention the way people feel respected, valued, and supported, with close attention to everyone's independence so each person can do as much for themselves as possible. Facilities use up-to-date technology and healthcare services are available throughout Maryland, with a team of geriatric specialists, nurses, and healthcare workers who work together and always have someone on call. Sligo Creek Healthcare offers programs like Medication Therapy Management (MTMP) and the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan (M3P), along with healthcare plans including Alterwood Advantage Select (HMO), Alterwood Advantage Choice (HMO), and Alterwood Advantage Dual Secure (HMO D-SNP), and they have member resources for pharmacy benefits, member rights, and improvements in care. So, for people who need a wide range of care, whether something simple or something with more support, this place makes sure every resident can find comfort, safety, and good company, while the team goes the extra distance to help each person make the most of every day.
