Granny’s Place Assisted Living in Baltimore offers both assisted living and residential care home services under one roof. Residents who require help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, mobility and medication management receive assistance from staff on duty around the clock. A licensed nurse oversees care plans, coordinates with physicians and pharmacies, and monitors vital signs and chronic conditions. The residential care home model keeps the setting small, which allows staff to track changes in health quickly and communicate concerns to family and medical providers without delay.
Beyond basic support, the community supplies additional healthcare features designed to reduce hospital visits and promote stability. Emergency call systems are installed in resident rooms and common areas, and routine safety checks are conducted each shift. Visiting therapists can provide physical, occupational or speech therapy on site when ordered by a physician, and transportation is arranged for outside appointments or hospital follow-ups. Staff receive ongoing training in fall prevention, infection control and early recognition of complications related to diabetes, heart disease and other chronic illnesses. Individualized care reviews are held regularly so that service levels can be adjusted as needs change.
Accommodations include a mix of private and shared suites, each furnished and equipped with basic safety elements such as grab bars and smoke detectors. Some rooms have private bathrooms while others share a bath; several offer kitchenettes, individual climate controls or cable television, but not every unit has all of these features. Weekly housekeeping, linen service and routine maintenance are provided, and residents can request additional cleaning for an added fee. Common spaces include living rooms, a secure outdoor area and smaller alcoves for family visits, allowing residents to choose the level of social engagement that suits them.
Meals are prepared three times a day in an on-site kitchen under the guidance of dietary staff who follow physician-ordered restrictions like low-sodium, diabetic or soft-food diets. Residents eat in a communal dining room, with staff assistance available for those who need help cutting food or monitoring intake. Hot and cold refreshments are accessible between meals, and room-service trays can be arranged temporarily during illness or recovery. Menu rotations change seasonally, and residents are encouraged to attend periodic food forums where they can suggest favorite dishes or request recipe adjustments.
