Bel Air Assisted Living in Bel Air, Maryland, delivers three levels of care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so residents can remain in the same community as their needs change. Medical support covers residents who wander day or night, stay up all night, require wound care, need oxygen, follow special diets, or manage diabetes with either oral medications or injections. The Memory Care program accepts residents with advanced dementia conditions and is structured to address behavioral changes and safety concerns that often accompany cognitive decline.
Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are on-site around the clock, backed by an on-call nurse for additional coverage. All team members undergo background checks, and the community maintains both awake and asleep night-shift staff. Rooms are secured with door alarms and optional WanderGuard bracelets, while pull cords and personal emergency response systems alert staff at any time. Residents have access to on-site podiatry, audiology, and dental services, reducing the need for outside appointments. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained in safe transfers for walkers, wheelchairs, standby support, or one-person assists.
Accommodations range from cozy studios to larger suites, and not every room includes the same features, so it is best to confirm specifics during a tour. Meals are offered through a rotating set menu or made-to-order selections, with snacks available throughout the day and a private dining room for family gatherings. Diet modifications such as gluten-free, mechanical-chopped, and puréed textures are prepared on site to meet physician directives. Independent Living residents can opt for medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan while still enjoying a more self-directed lifestyle.
The community is fully wheelchair accessible and includes a barber and beauty shop, high-speed internet access, landscaped communal gardens, and a concierge who can help coordinate transportation or reservations.
