Brentwood Manor Assisted Living sits in Waldorf, Maryland, and has a quiet, home-style feel with only 5 beds, offering residents and their families a smaller, focused setting. The building covers over 5,000 square feet, with four bedrooms and five bathrooms, so there's room for everyone to settle in. Residents can choose private or semi-private bedrooms, and accommodations range from studios to shared suites, all furnished and prepared for comfort, some with adjustable beds. Residents have cable TV, Wi-Fi, high-speed internet, air conditioning, and private baths, and the rooms have bathtubs and storage space. The common spaces are spacious and include a formal dining room, living room, large family room, sunroom, a resident dining hall, movie room, games room, fitness area, library, and both indoor and outdoor patios, along with a secure recreation floor designed for activities and visits with loved ones.
Meals are provided daily, with restaurant-style dining and special diets, including vegetarian options, handled by staff and in consultation with a dietitian, and the menus are easy to read. Meals can be enjoyed either in the dining area or outdoors, weather permitting. Housekeeping, linen, laundry, and pharmacy services are included, and there's staff on-call at all hours. Brentwood Manor gives personal care like help with dressing, bathing, showering, transfers, incontinence, and other daily needs. Medication management, health monitoring, regular doctor visits, fall prevention classes, physical therapy, and help for those with memory issues, Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's are all available. Hospice, respite care, and short-term stays are options as well.
Activities are a key part of daily life here, so residents can join in stretching, dancing, painting, arts and crafts, trivia, gospel singing, Bible study, social games, puzzles, gardening, birthday and anniversary celebrations, and more, with help from trained staff. Residents can enjoy walks in the garden or outdoor courtyard, and there are regular community activities to meet friends. There's a focus on encouraging independence while giving the right level of support, including help with getting in and out of bed and feeding by spoon if needed.
The secure environment includes a 24-hour camera system, audible door alerts, monitored alarm systems, carbon monoxide sensors, and an indoor intercom/radio throughout the home and on the deck, all backed by a nationally recognized security company and frequent fire and police patrols for peace of mind. A "People Mover" helps get around, and scheduled transportation is available for an added cost, along with resident parking and easy public transit options.
The staff includes nursing professionals and caregivers with decades of experience, and they work to create a supportive, friendly place. Families often mention kind care in their reviews, which has led to a high 5.0-star rating for the facility. Brentwood Manor can make arrangements for individual care plans and custom needs assessment, adjusting services for each person while keeping independence in mind. The warmth and security of a smaller assisted living home, combined with many services, activities, and trusted staff, have made it a well-regarded option in Charles County for seniors and their families looking for assistance with daily life while keeping as much independence as possible.
