Azalia Home sits in Frederick, MD and works as a small assisted living home with eight licensed beds, and you'll find staff awake around the clock, including nurses and a doctor on call, with help always close by for daily needs like bathing, grooming, dressing, and medication management, which makes things smoother for seniors who want to keep some independence but still need a hand now and then, and with services stretching from general assisted living all the way to specialized memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, including support with wandering and behavior, there's a focus on safety, comfort, and keeping folks as active as possible, helped along by secured environments, activity programs, and handles for exit seekers. You'll find both private rooms and shared areas, sometimes with a kitchenette, and the building's all on one level with wheelchair access, showers, and tubs that you can walk right into, making it simple to get around and avoid falls, and if getting outside's important, there's outdoor and indoor common spaces where people can join group activities or enjoy some quiet. Meals get served daily, including kosher and vegetarian choices, and transportation and parking are on hand for appointments and outings, while housekeeping, chore services, and even an on-site beautician help keep life comfortable. Amenities include senior technology resources, tools like medication dispensers, medical alert systems, and home security, plus support for things like hearing aids, internet, and cell phones. Azalia Home also offers respite care, which gives families a break when needed, and allows for hospice care when residents need end-of-life support. Memory care communities like Bethany Living II and Charlotte's Home, Inc give specialized, secure help for folks with cognitive impairments, using therapies and environments built to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, letting seniors stay safe while holding onto some independence. Seniors who need help with incontinence get reminders and support, including when mechanical lifts are needed for transfers, and residents who smoke can do so outdoors. The staff handles behavioral care needs, so those with more complex symptoms don't get left out, and as care needs change, residents can stay at Azalia Home instead of having to move. With both on-site and offsite activities, meals provided, and the comfort of having a nurse and emergency system always ready, Azalia Home focuses on creating a low-stress, homey setting that keeps seniors safe, active, and supported as their needs shift, all at an average cost of $5,000 per month for memory care rooms.
Caring staff, concerns about value
I placed my mom here because the staff (including the owners, Mr. Kim and his wife) are genuinely caring, the rooms are large and private, and the home is clean and close to family. Meals and activities are inconsistent - some praise fresh, homemade food and arts & crafts while others report small portions and few outings. I experienced maintenance/supply issues (no paper towels, broken hand dryer), uncomfortable nighttime temperatures, and spotty transportation. At nearly $5,000/month the value felt poor, and there are complaint/ombudsman reports and alleged incidents I'd want fully explained. Overall, excellent caregivers and a home-like feel, but verify operations and complaints before deciding.
