Odilia's House 1

Odilia's House 1 sits in Jessup, Maryland, close to doctors, shopping, and local cafes, and it has an easy-going, homelike feel with only five assisted living units, so things are quieter and folks get to know each other. The staff stays on hand all day and night to help with care, medication, dressing, and personal needs, and they know a thing or two about elder care, memory care, and specialized help for dementia and Alzheimer's, so residents always have someone to lean on. People living here can pick between private and semi-private bedrooms, and the place has wheelchair accessible showers, private baths, and spaces set up for both indoor and outdoor fun and relaxation, like games rooms, walking trails, and even a theatre. There are meals cooked in the home kitchen-special menus, vegetarian choices, and snacks out all day-and an on-site dietitian who pays attention to good nutrition. Residents who like social events or spiritual support can join in on-site or off-site activities and chapel services, and there's a beauty salon for haircuts if someone wants a little grooming. Folks get help with housekeeping and laundry, and physical or surgery recovery care's available when needed, which helps people get back on their feet. People who need respite stays, hospice, or short-term care are also welcome, so families have a hand with caregiving when life gets a bit too busy. Odilia's House 1 provides transportation for doctors' visits or outings, though there's a fee, and it sits near public transit for those who like to get about. There are services for incontinence care, high acuity needs, diabetes, and non-ambulatory care, which means folks with different health needs can stay comfortable and safe. The house aims for a balance of independence, privacy, and personal attention, with health staff always around and fun things to do, and with both studio spaces and one-bedroom apartments set up for easy living.
