Cridge Home Care Assisted Living II in Bowie, Maryland, operates both as an Assisted Living property and a Residential Care Home. The team is equipped to care for residents who wander during the day or night, stay awake all night, require wound care, or are under 60 years old but still need long-term support. Diabetic management is available whether a resident uses oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin, and the community accepts individuals with advanced dementia.
Around-the-clock clinical coverage includes an RN or LPN on staff, a nurse physically on site 24 hours a day, and an additional nurse on call at all times. Residents receive full-assist help with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting as needed. Transfer options range from simple standby assistance for walkers to two-person transfers and full Hoyer-lift moves for bed-bound residents. Security features—such as door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, a WanderGuard system, and awake overnight staff—help keep residents who might exit-seek safe at all hours.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and some come furnished with cable service and their own bathroom. Because layouts differ, not every room includes each feature, so confirming specifics during a tour is advisable. The building is wheelchair accessible, and maintenance handles routine upkeep so families do not have to worry about repairs or furnishings.
Meals follow a set menu that is adjusted for diabetic, low-salt, or other medical diets, and snacks are offered between meals. Staff oversee portion sizes, texture modifications, and fluid intake as prescribed. Independent Living residents—those who do not need the full assisted-living package—can still have medication management monitoring and weekly laundry service added to their plan for additional peace of mind.
Residents benefit from on-site parking, high-speed internet access, and regularly scheduled religious services held inside the building. All common areas and bathrooms are wheelchair accessible, and the location is close to public transportation for outings or visits from family members who prefer not to drive.
