Victoria Falls in Laurel, MD offers an Independent Living setting for residents who are mostly self-reliant yet want ready access to organized medical support. The community makes on-site Physical Therapy available, giving residents the option to continue physician-ordered rehabilitation without leaving the property. The property does not market itself as a dementia care provider and is not set up for memory-care–specific programming or staffing.
Additional clinical resources are in place for routine or unexpected health needs. An emergency call system links each apartment to staff members trained to respond around the clock. Skilled nursing, licensed nurses, speech therapy, wound care, and occupational therapy are provided on campus, and resident or family counseling is available when care plans need adjustment. Staff can step in with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when residents’ own abilities change, so transitions can often be handled without moving to another community.
Apartments at Victoria Falls vary in size and features. Some units include private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, cable hookups, and the option to paint or decorate the space; others may offer only a portion of these items, so prospective residents should confirm availability during a tour.
Meals are prepared and served daily, eliminating grocery shopping and cooking for residents who prefer not to handle those tasks. Menus are planned to meet general nutritional guidelines, and staff can discuss basic dietary adjustments as needed; however, specialized clinical diets should be reviewed in advance.
The campus rounds out day-to-day living with resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, a movie room, internet access, communal gardens, and proximity to public transportation. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
