Bredd Health Services Assisted Living, located in Columbia, Maryland, is a small community linked to Bredd Health Services and licensed for up to five seniors, where folks can find assisted living, memory care, respite, and hospice services, and staff are available around the clock as needed, ready to help with two-person transfers, insulin, bathroom help, dressing, grooming, bathing, and more, depending on each person's needs. Nurses and caregivers manage care under a nurse-owned system, and the management team, including a hands-on RN or owner, is known for staying involved and knowing both residents and their families, keeping everybody familiar with what's going on. Maryland's Department of Social Services regulates the place, and safety features like Wander Guard help keep residents safe, especially those who wander or need memory care. Bredd Health Services Assisted Living supports people who live with diabetes, high blood pressure, or incontinence and offers help with medication, special diets (including vegetarian, vegan, no sugar, or low salt), meal plans approved by dieticians and chefs, and daily home-cooked meals with room service possible when someone isn't feeling up to a meal in the dining area.
Residents can expect common areas both inside and out, including a cozy living room for gatherings, activity rooms, craft plans, movie times, spa and wellness spots, a reading room, outside patios, a yard, and even a piano or organ for musical nights, and if someone likes to smoke, they let folks do that outside. There's Wi-Fi, high-speed internet, TV, cable, and help picking senior-friendly cell phones and plans, plus extra touches like grocery shopping, housekeeping, laundry, and errands. There are private rooms with some offering kitchenettes, wheelchair accessible showers, full kitchens, and other options to suit different care levels, and everyone living there can get help with daily activities but still keep as much independence as they're able. The activity schedule is long-music therapy, pet visits, board games, fitness, and walks on outdoor trails and paths, plus staff organize shopping trips, rides to doctor's appointments and to local churches, and they often take advantage of nearby parks, sunlit mountain trails, swim centers, and mini water parks when the weather's nice, for residents who like to get out.
The staff can help with medication management, including diabetic and high acuity needs, and there are medical alert systems in place, including Medical Alert, Medical Guardian, and Bay Alarm Medical, with information and support on choosing the right systems, as well as reviews and caregiver resources to make sure residents and their families can stay connected and feel safe, and if someone needs caregiver support, home care resources, or just a reminder for medication, those services are part of what's available too. The home has good activity and community engagement, a reputation for joyful, knowledgeable caregivers and a well-managed team, and residents often form close bonds with staff and each other. Families often say there's a friendly atmosphere and the people working there make daily life positive and safe. Bredd Health Services Assisted Living is a place that tries to give seniors and disabled folks a regular, structured schedule, healthy food, opportunities for socializing, privacy when they want it, and support with the challenges that come with aging, making it a spot where people can live with purpose, stay active, and enjoy the community around them.
