Ammahl Homes Inc sits at 16700 Batchellors Forest Rd in Olney, Maryland, and it's a small board and care home with just 11 beds, run by family members Leela and Jeya, who's a registered nurse, and they do a pretty good job at creating a quiet, homey place for seniors who need help, whether it's for memory care, assisted living, or longer-term nursing support, and everything feels less busy and crowded compared to big places. Residents get help with day-to-day needs like showering, getting dressed, using the bathroom, grooming, and even have a mobile hairdresser if they want, and the staff pitches in for meal preparation, including options for medical diets like diabetes or high blood pressure. Folks have home-cooked meals three times a day, and if there's a special allergy or restriction, they'll try to work with that too, so people get what they need without fuss.
The care team watches out for everyone around the clock and manages medicines, daily tasks, and housekeeping, including laundry and dry cleaning, so life's a little easier for families and residents both. Ammahl Homes offers memory care, with a secure building that'll keep wandering to a minimum, and the team runs activities designed for folks with memory loss, things like music therapy, animal visits, crafts, tabletop games, walking outside, and lovely relaxing in garden spaces when the weather's nice. For entertainment and company, there are things like exercise groups, movie nights, book rooms, social evenings, games, workout routines, and planned daily events, plus gardens, a dining room, yard space, walking paths, and a health room with a hot tub and steam room. There are also accommodations for wheelchairs and help with transfers and mobility needs, and non-ambulatory care for those who can't get around on their own. Private and shared rooms are available for seniors 62 and older who need a hand with daily activities.
The staff speaks English, and the home arranges rides for medical appointments, shopping, or visiting spiritual services, so nobody feels stuck at home. Ammahl Homes offers short-term respite care if a caregiver needs relief, plus long-term stays for those who need it, all under state licenses with registered nurses and trained caregivers on hand. Housekeeping and laundry get taken care of, and emergencies are handled with a 24-hour alert system. The home does its best to support independence and dignity, letting people have their say whenever possible, in a smaller, more personal setting than bigger care facilities. Overall, Ammahl Homes supports seniors with various care needs, provides activities and social events, and strives to keep everyone comfortable and safe in a relaxed, family-style environment.
