Angels Next Door sits in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, and folks know it for helping older adults with lots of different care needs, whether someone just needs a little help getting through the day or needs dementia and Alzheimer's care, and there are places where only four or five residents live in one house, so caregivers get to know everyone very well and things feel homey. The staff, called caregivers from Angels Next Door, handle personal things like bathing, dressing, and medication management, and they're there all day and night, which means someone's always looking out for the residents, and there's always a licensed nurse on call. Families find that there are memory care programs and special daily activities, as well as therapies and mental games, all meant to help folks feel calm and keep their minds active, and dementia-trained nurses run these activities, with custom meal plans for people with food allergies or diabetes, and meals come out on a regular schedule in a comfortable dining room or on a flexible basis so residents can eat when they want.
Many rooms and shared spaces use color cues to help people remember where to go, and there are walking paths, a garden, and secure outdoor spots for people who like to get outside but need a safe place to wander, especially for those with Alzheimer's. Angels Next Door features studios, shared rooms, and private one-bedroom options, and each room comes with emergency alert systems, cable TV, phone, and WiFi, plus community rooms meant for making new friends or enjoying movie nights and activities that help everyone relax and connect. Residents get help with daily jobs like laundry, cleaning, and moving around the building, and Angels Next Door offers special programs for people with Parkinson's disease, incontinence, and special feeding needs too.
There's plenty of transportation for errands or doctor's appointments, parking for visitors, and move-in help so families can settle in a little easier, and outside the houses there's a peaceful sense about the place, with gardens and easy walking paths, and scheduled events so everyone stays active. Angels Next Door serves meals with attention to special diets, and each resident's care plan is built to match their health needs, with regular updates and team meetings. Medication management, housekeeping, linen, dry cleaning, and coordinated medical care are steady parts of the support here, and the rooms and gathering spots have a home-like feel that encourages friendships. The size of the community-smaller homes with four or five units each, with locations in Prince George's County, means that every resident's voice gets heard and little things don't get missed; it stays personal, friendly, and focused on independence, dignity, and comfort as folks go through all the changes that growing older brings.
