Always Caring sits in a quiet neighborhood at 9534 Angelina Circle in Columbia, Maryland and offers a small, homelike setting for older adults who need daily help, where the staff keeps things calm and friendly, with round-the-clock care every day of the week and a calm routine that works well for folks who prefer a peaceful life. The main focus stays on assisted living care, so residents get help with things like meals, bathing, and medication. Always Caring runs programs like "Friendship Place" to give each person a sense of belonging and simplifies things for families by handling both long-term and short-term stays, including respite care, Alzheimer's and dementia services, nursing support, hospice care, and rehabilitation, which means people with chronic illness or those needing professional geriatric care are also looked after without much fuss. The home isn't large and doesn't feel like an institution, so it's easier for folks to settle in and feel comfortable, while the caregivers stay nearby and ready to help with anything, always making sure everyone's needs are at the front of their minds, and the well-trained care team works under Elva Belton, who manages the place with a steady hand. People living here get the extra security of quick access to Howard County General Hospital if there's an emergency, as the staff works closely with the hospital. Activities happen in the home to help people stay busy, and the atmosphere stays calm and cool, which suits people looking for a quieter place to live. The home covers a wide service area around the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. region and helps adults 18 and older, with several ways to pay, including long-term care insurance, private insurance, and private pay, so what sets Always Caring apart are its unique programs and the way care plans get built for each person; everything from how daily routines go to the kind of care received fits the resident's needs, all in a family-style setting that keeps things simple, safe, and as comfortable as possible for each person who lives there.
Homey house with lake views
I had a great experience - the converted house (about eight residents) feels like home with beautiful lake views, very clean common rooms, and a fair price. Staff are friendly, respectful, attentive and long-tenured, and the manager was clear about expectations; my dad's respite stay went well, so I would recommend it. Note: some rooms are small, there are shared bathrooms and narrow hallways that raise accessibility concerns, and they sometimes have no vacancies/late arrivals.
