Freedom Way Home Care sits over at 201 Ash Ave in Dundalk, MD, tucked into a busy neighborhood with about 57,000 people in the 21222 zip code and not far from Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, around 3.96 miles away, which can bring peace of mind when you think about hospitals and care. The place focuses on in-home and residential care, providing a Care Home setting licensed under Maryland's Department of Social Services, and it only takes up to 6 elderly adults at a time, so folks get more personalized attention and support, which sometimes gets hard to find in bigger nursing homes or communities. Here, trained staff helps with daily living like showering, clothes, hygiene, getting in and out of the shower, and managing toileting, so people can keep their dignity even if they need a little more help day to day, and there's extra support for things like insulin shots, two-person transfers, and incontinence care, plus 24-hour alert staff depending on what each resident needs, which can be reassuring when health is on your mind.
People living here can count on three homemade meals every day, and special diets can be handled too, like for folks with diabetes or high blood pressure, and there's even the option for a mobile stylist to come through when someone wants a haircut. You'll find things to do each day, like board games, music therapy, pet therapy, movie time, and trips outside, plus exercise and creative programs to help folks stay busy, and there's some nice extras like a book room, spa or steam room, barber or parlor, garden, community events in the evening, and a recreation room, all built to make life more comfortable and feel like a real home instead of an institution. They can help with rides to doctor's appointments, grocery shopping, or getting to a place of worship, which sits nearby, and for folks who prefer to eat out, there are ten restaurants, four cafes, four pharmacies, and five parks close by, which gives options for outings and visits.
Freedom Way Home Care offers assisted living, memory care, hospice, and respite stays, so whether a person needs just a little support for a short while or longer term memory support or end-of-life care, the team's ready and trained for comprehensive assistance. The environment stays peaceful and nurturing, with staff focused on building an inclusive and vibrant community, and care gets tailored to each person, with safety and independence as top priorities. Residents pay from around $2,572 for basic residential home care, but assisted living starts closer to $3,000 and might go up to $7,000 a month, depending on what a person needs and prefers. Payment options include cash, check, private pay, and military or VA benefits. For families looking for a small, home-like place, Freedom Way Home Care stands as a solid option in Dundalk for people who still want some community and support but aren't looking for a large facility or a place that feels cold or impersonal.
