The Dagsboro

The Dagsboro at Fenwick Landing Senior Care Community in Waldorf, Maryland has a mix of living spaces, so you've got choices like studio apartments, one-bedroom units, and shared rooms, and the rooms can have private baths, wheelchair accessible showers, air-conditioning, cable TV, internet, phone service, and even kitchenettes if you need them, and some come fully furnished with photos of what you might expect. There are 16 assisted living units in this community, and staff provide 24-hour help, so someone is always there if you need assistance with things like moving around, medication, or daily activities, and a certified Medication Technician handles the medicine during overnight or respite stays. They take care of people who have Parkinson's, dementia, incontinence, high needs, diabetes, and limited mobility, and there's hospice care for those who are very ill along with memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia. Meals are part of the package and the kitchen serves both nutritious and vegetarian options, using organic foods and ingredients, plus there's a private dining area, a community kitchen, and mealtime assistance if eating is hard, and the place got an award for best meals and dining, so people seem to appreciate the food. Laundry, housekeeping, and trash removal happen on a regular schedule, so you don't have to worry about those chores. There's a fitness area, massage service, movie nights, arts and crafts, and a lot of activities including education, devotional times, and both indoor and outdoor spaces for events or just relaxing, and pets like cats and dogs are allowed. Residents can use transportation services to go to doctor appointments or for errands, and the property has parking available. Safety comes with a 24/7 security system and in-room emergency response system, and there's regular health monitoring by a staff that's described as very kind and friendly, even winning awards for engagement and staff friendliness. The Dagsboro also sets up short-term respite stays, either drop-in during the day or overnight, with private rooms for those who need just a temporary place, and adult medical day care is also available for people who need care only during the day. Home care services reach out to those wanting help in their own homes, and there's geriatric care management to help with planning and support. The community offers both independent and assisted living options for seniors starting at age 55 or 62, and there's continuing care for when someone's needs change, so a person can usually find the right level of help. The Dagsboro also runs regular programs, both on and off-site, with activities for social time, and even lets people rent space for social events on weekends. The property supports equal opportunity, and there's supervision around the clock, so everyone has someone to count on when help is needed.
