The Comforts of Home

The Comforts of Home in Ellicott City, Maryland, is a board and care community where seniors can get help at different levels, whether someone needs independent living, memory care, assisted living, skilled nursing, or just short-term respite care to give primary caregivers a needed break-you'll find they offer all that in a ranch-style home setting that's close to parks, churches, shopping centers, and public transportation, making life easier if you still want to get out and about, but also nice and quiet when you want to stay in. Residents have access to activities both onsite and offsite, with nurses on staff, doctors and dentists on call, plus podiatrist, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy services, and the place is fully licensed, cost-effective, and certified to provide high acuity care, including hospice and dementia care for those living with Alzheimer's or other forms of memory loss. The Comforts of Home has both private suites and shared rooms, some with kitchenettes, all with air conditioning and private bathrooms, and a homely environment-meals get prepared using organic ingredients, with vegetarian options, and help is available for those with diabetes or incontinence. Meals and daily personal care are provided, along with medication management and assistance, a 24-hour call system, and standby help nearby if residents need it, while housekeeping, linen services, transportation to appointments, complimentary transportation, and resident parking round out the support, and for those who have pets, this home welcomes them, along with both male and female residents. The facility has indoor and outdoor communal areas, bath tubs for relaxing soaks, onsite beauty and barber services, internet, cable, and phone service, as well as scheduled activities that aim to keep everyone physically, mentally, and spiritually active, including Adventist and Christian devotional services, plus on-site guides and support for aging in place, senior finances, retirement and estate planning, and even options like medical alert systems and home safety features such as walk-in tubs and safety guides to keep residents secure. The community respects each resident's unique personality, encourages hobbies and personal interests, and tries to make sure everyone feels at home and supported, whether they need independent living, companion care, memory care, or more advanced nursing.
