Home Away from Home 1 sits at 9727 Wyman Way in Upper Marlboro, MD, in a neighborhood close to shopping centers, restaurants, banks, pharmacies, and parks, so seniors can easily get to errands and outings without much trouble, and you'll find it really does have a homelike feeling because of its small size where the care team gets to know each resident personally. The place welcomes folks 55 and older who want more support without moving into a big institutional building, and it offers residential care home services, which means help with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication, and supervision both day and night, and the staff also handles diabetic care and daily blood sugar monitoring, so people's health needs don't get overlooked. Residents get three meals a day plus snacks, all made onsite with special diets possible, and meals happen in a dining room that feels homey, with furnished rooms and emergency alert systems adding peace of mind, and housekeeping and laundry are part of the package too.
The place runs structured programs to help people stay active, including movie nights, games in indoor common areas, time outside walking or in the garden, and trips out for shopping or to enjoy a meal, plus there's transportation for off-site religious services and regular devotional activities, and for people living with memory loss, the community provides Alzheimer's and dementia care with routines and cognitive exercises tailored to those needs, so families don't have to shoulder that alone. The staff is around 24/7, ready to help with hygiene, grooming, and other personal care, and because Home Away from Home 1 is part of a network, families can get help from local advisors who know the area and can guide them through finding the right fit-advisors talk to families about their needs, offer a list of possible communities, and help with each step, all as a free service since the cost gets paid by partner communities if someone moves in.
Home Away from Home 1 keeps a positive and friendly atmosphere, aiming for a sense of health and well-being through daily life, small group activities, and a care plan that's personalized for each resident by working together with doctors or therapists. The facility's review score on SeniorAdvisor.com reads 4.6 out of 5 stars from over 3,400 reviews, which suggests most people have felt good about their experiences there.
