St. Teresa's Residence sits in Laurel, MD, and serves seniors who need different kinds of care in a calm, family-like setting with room for up to eight residents, so everyone gets some personal attention, and you don't end up feeling lost like in a big place. The place focuses on assisted living, memory care-including care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's-residential care, and nursing and home care, and there's even hospice for folks who need it, and all services get planned out for each person. The staff help with things like bathing, hygiene, meals, getting dressed, medicine reminders, and transfers-in and out of beds or baths-and they make nutrition adjustments for health problems like diabetes or high blood pressure, so if someone needs a little extra help eating the right foods, they do that. There's skilled nursing care, daily fitness classes, and speech or occupational therapy for anyone who needs it.
Residents live in either single bedrooms, shared apartments, or studios, and the rooms have private baths, and sometimes kitchenettes, which is nice for people who want quiet time or just some peace, and families can look at room photos. For activities, there's always a lot going on, whether it's music therapy or animal visits-folks play board games, walk the garden trails, enjoy the hot tub or steam room, and do crafts or even relax in the greenhouse, and there's scheduled movie nights, wellness programs, outings, art events, and clubs, so no one stays bored, and there's a game room and a courtyard for folks who like to get outdoors a bit. The community kitchen and cafe keep things simple, those looking for snacks can find them all day, and meals are provided with attention to the person's needs. There are regular devotional services onsite and offsite, including a chapel, plus transportation to church, doctor's appointments, or errands, with parking for those who still drive, or rides available for a fee if needed.
The staff at St. Teresa's Residence handle non-medical needs, too-things like showers, incontinence and diabetic care, medication management, helping people with speech, and interventions for folks who need a bit more support. Some folks need a mobile stylist or hairdresser, which gets taken care of, and there's a barber or salon onsite. For people with high acuity care needs or chronic conditions, services are adjusted without making a fuss out of it, just part of daily life. Housekeeping and laundry are done, and rooms are kept comfortable and safe. There's help for those needing daily reminders, and there's always support for high-need transfers or mobility issues.
St. Teresa's Residence offers respite stays and tailored care plans, making it possible to meet changing needs for each resident, and the small scale helps people feel at home, where it's easy to connect with staff or other residents. The facility works with SeniorAdvisor and CareInHomes, so families who want guidance can find it, and staff are always trained to help seniors with all sorts of needs. There are structured programs for health, wellness, and social time every day, with attention to spiritual, physical, and emotional care, and the community is part of the Yorketown Assisted Living of PG County, LLC network, which stays focused on making care options simple for families.
The building has indoor and outdoor spaces, a garden, recreation rooms, a book room, and plenty of events all year. Residents in the Laurel, MD region can expect community resources and transportation, along with access to local medical services and attractions. Photos show the living spaces and common rooms, and folks can look forward to a setting that keeps things relaxed, homey, and easy to understand, because when people get older, things shouldn't be confusing or overcomplicated, and that's just what St. Teresa's Residence aims for each day.
