Homewood at Martinsburg sits in Williamsport, Maryland, and provides a range of living options for seniors, offering independent living in cottages and apartments, assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's and dementia, skilled nursing, and even hospice care, so folks can get the help they need right there in one place as their needs change over time, and since it's a Continuing Care Retirement Community, people don't have to worry about leaving as they age or if their health changes, since the facility's set up to move smoothly from independent living to more support, like help with bathing, dressing, or medication. The community pays special attention to residents with diabetes, offering diabetic care services as well as preparing special meals to fit different dietary needs, and you'll find things like housecleaning, laundry, and even dry cleaning are taken care of, plus you get private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, and Wi-Fi in the living units, so things stay comfortable and practical.
Doctors' offices, cafes, parks, pharmacies, and places of worship sit close by, which makes it easy for folks to handle daily errands or get out for a bit of fresh air, and you'll see there's always something going on inside-indoor common areas give people a place to gather and visit, and the facility offers plenty of community and resident-run activities, whether it's movie nights, arts and crafts, educational talks like the "Meet the Author" sessions, or gentle fitness and wellness center programs. The staff carries out personalized care plans and provides support day and night with a 24-hour call system, and the Tenley Unit focuses on helping people keep up their physical independence as much as possible, while also providing short-term respite care for those times when caregivers need a bit of a break.
The place has scheduled transportation for both medical and non-medical needs, so it's easier for residents to keep appointments or do errands even if they don't drive anymore, and the grounds feature garden spots, walking paths, an arts room, and a barber or beauty salon to keep folks feeling good. All-day dining makes meals flexible, and the open dining menus include options for those with diabetes or allergies. Housekeeping and linen services are just part of the regular routine, and for security, there's an emergency alert system.
Homewood at Martinsburg is part of a network of senior communities managed by a non-profit group tied to the Homewood Foundation, so you know their focus stays on serving residents rather than turning a profit, and the organization gives back to the local community, supporting programs and causes like the Alzheimer's Association. The whole environment aims to help folks stay active, connected, and as independent as possible, so people who move in often find it's easier to get to know their neighbors and stay involved in daily life-whether that means relaxing in a furnished room, joining a hobby group, or attending a devotional service off-site. Programs, funding, and financials are managed by the non-profit and its foundation, keeping things steady for the six sites across Maryland and Pennsylvania that care for about 2,000 residents, with some 1,300 staff members throughout the network. At Homewood at Martinsburg, the focus is on providing reliable care, an easy place to live, and the support people need to enjoy each day, all in a setting designed for seniors to feel right at home through every stage of retirement.
