Comfort Place

Comfort Place sits on Creekway Drive in Clinton, Maryland, and provides assisted living care for up to five seniors at a time, making it a small, private, family-owned place in Prince George's County, where folks can get the help they need in a quiet, wooded neighborhood with a home-like atmosphere, and they do let pets in, which is nice for those who don't want to live without their animal friends. Residents can choose a studio suite, one-bedroom unit, or a shared living space, and every spot is set up to support safety and comfort, including wheelchair accessible showers, emergency systems in the rooms, and smoke alarms, and there's central air conditioning and utilities are included, so people don't have to worry about the basics. Comfort Place's staff is on-site 24 hours, ready to help with bathing, getting dressed, managing medicines, cleaning apartments, doing laundry, helping with bills, and providing meals-including dementia-friendly options, special diets, and help at mealtimes, if folks need it, and a dietitian looks over the meals to make sure everyone is eating right. There's also a nurse and a doctor on call, along with support for vision, hearing, and dental care, so health needs are covered, and they'll handle scheduled bathroom reminders and spoon feeding when needed, making it good for people needing more help. Regular fitness classes, arts and crafts, scheduled group outings, theater room movie times, internet access, and both on-site and off-site activities keep everyone busy if they want, and the staff works to keep things social-there are devotional services, activity programs, and wellness classes designed so people can make friends, stay active, and keep a good outlook. People who like to be outside can spend time on walking trails or sit in the indoor and outdoor common areas, and Comfort Place offers resident parking for those who still drive, plus a community kitchen, common living room, television and media room, snack shop, and all meals are served in the dining room, but they'll do private dining if needed. Beauty and barber services are available on the premises, so folks can get a haircut or grooming without leaving the house, and there's help for other personal needs like dry cleaning and laundry, and even speech therapy is available if someone needs it. Comfort Place allows both men and women, has spaces for both private and shared rooms, doesn't permit smoking inside, and has special memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, with programs aimed at making life easier and safer for people who sometimes have trouble remembering things, and there's hospice and respite care if that becomes necessary. The staff tries to nurture connections among residents and let people keep some independence as they age, with transportation available both complimentary and at-cost for medical visits or outings, so folks don't have to sit around bored. Residents don't have to worry about housekeeping, meals, or home maintenance, and the goal is to make life a little easier while encouraging everyone to keep up with activities as much as they want.
