Gentle Hands Caring Heart in Baltimore, Maryland, delivers three levels of supportive housing—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Residential Care Home—under one roof. Residents who need routine oxygen management or monitoring for diabetes controlled with oral medications can receive those services on-site, and the staff is prepared to support individuals showing mild dementia symptoms. The community is designed to let residents move between care levels if health needs change, limiting the need for disruptive relocations.
Around-the-clock oversight is supported by RNs and LPNs on staff, with a nurse available by phone at any hour. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift maintains continuous supervision. Full assistance is offered for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the team is trained in multiple transfer techniques, including walker guidance, wheelchair transfers, standby supervision, and one-person lifts. This structure allows residents with varying mobility and personal-care requirements to receive consistent help without leaving the property.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, some with in-suite baths while others share nearby facilities; not every unit includes the same layout or features, so families should confirm specifics during a tour. Common areas include lounges and activity spaces that can be used for social gatherings or quiet relaxation, and basic utilities, maintenance, and housekeeping are provided to keep living areas safe and orderly.
Meals follow a set menu prepared by kitchen staff who can adjust textures, seasonings, or portions for diet modifications such as low-sugar or low-sodium plans. Three scheduled meals are served daily in the main dining room, and snacks are available between meal times for residents who need smaller, more frequent nutrition or simply prefer light refreshments.
High-speed Internet access is available throughout the building, enabling residents to stay in touch with family, manage personal business, or stream entertainment.
