Pleasantville sits at 12608 Summerwood Drive in Silver Spring, Maryland, where a small and cozy campus offers care for up to five older adults, so you won't find any crowds or long waits here, and the staff usually recognizes everyone's needs. They offer several services including assisted living, independent living, memory care, adult day care, home care, and hospice care, so most folks can find what they need whether you're looking to stay active, need help now and then, or require more daily support. The buildings have pull cords, non-slip floors, and secured areas to help keep residents safe, especially folks who might wander or need a little extra memory support, and they're equipped to handle things like Parkinson's care, spoon-feeding, or speech therapy, which can make a big difference for anyone needing special medical attention.
Meals come fresh from the on-site kitchen, with one to three homemade dishes a day, snacks in between, and special diets for health needs like diabetes or high blood pressure. The staff helps with personal care too-things like showering, dressing, toileting, and getting in or out of bed, and there's always someone on call day or night in case anyone needs help or feels unwell. They handle laundry, housekeeping, and even home upkeep, so residents can focus on themselves and what they enjoy. You'll find Wi-Fi, a dining hall, laundry rooms, and easy parking, all with ADA-compliant private baths.
Pleasantville lets small pets live with their owners, which brings comfort to many people. The grounds offer walking trails and garden spaces, and there's even a wellness room, a beauty salon, a theater, a spacious library called the book room, a hot tub, a sauna, and recreation rooms where daily activities, exercise classes, creative projects, and movie nights keep things lively. You'll find massage therapy and animal therapy, plus music and tabletop games for anyone who likes to join in. The staff arranges rides for medical appointments, errands, or trips to religious services, and community night events add variety to the schedule. A mobile stylist visits for hair care, and there's on-site transportation for anyone who needs it.
Friendly staff and residents help newcomers settle in, offering moving assistance and emotional support, which helps foster a homey feeling. The team is experienced with Alzheimer's and other forms of memory loss, providing special programs designed to keep people engaged while helping them stay safe. Med assistance is available, and the focus remains on each resident's independence and dignity, so no one feels rushed or overlooked. Pleasantville has a license from Maryland's Department of Social Services, and all services and spaces aim to give residents both comfort and peace of mind for as long as they call it home.
