Oakland Assisted Living Facility in Bethesda, MD operates both as an assisted-living community and as a licensed residential care home. Care teams are trained to work with residents who wander during the day or night, those at risk for elopement, individuals who remain awake through the night, and people living with moderate dementia. Clinical support is in place for wound care, oxygen management, and specialized dietary needs. The community also accepts residents under 60 and accommodates diabetics whether they are on oral medications, injections, or require sliding-scale insulin.
The building maintains an RN or LPN on staff with a nurse on call 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, night shifts are staffed by awake personnel, and safety systems include an alarmed door and a fenced rear area. Direct personal care can be provided at the full-assistance level for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from simple standby help or walker guidance to one-person and two-person transfers, full mechanical lift transfers, and care for bed-bound residents.
Private and semi-private rooms come furnished, but residents may paint or decorate their space if they wish. Some rooms offer cable service, and scheduled housekeeping is provided, though not every room includes every feature.
Meals follow a standard menu with the option to order alternatives; snacks are available throughout the day, and trays can be delivered for in-room dining. Therapeutic diets ordered by physicians are prepared in coordination with the nursing staff.
Common areas are wheelchair accessible, the property offers internet access for residents and guests, and a stair glide assists anyone who prefers to avoid steps.
