House of Serenity Assisted Living in Brandywine, MD offers a single level of care: assisted living. Residents receive help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management. The care team coordinates with physicians and other healthcare professionals to track chronic conditions, arrange therapy services when ordered, and schedule on-site visits from ancillary providers such as podiatrists or lab technicians. This approach is designed to let residents remain in the community even as their health needs change, avoiding unnecessary hospital trips whenever possible.
To support safe care delivery, the residence uses continuous safety monitoring and is equipped with a full smoke-alarm and sprinkler system. Staff members are on-site around the clock, checking on residents at regular intervals and responding quickly to call-button alerts. These measures are meant to reduce fall risk, detect emergencies early, and maintain a secure environment without restricting residents’ freedom of movement.
Apartments come with all utilities included, and most units offer basic cable television, telephone service, and wireless internet access. A computer area with internet is available for residents who do not have personal devices or prefer communal equipment. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation contains every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm which amenities are present in the specific room they select.
The culinary team prepares three meals each day, served in the main dining room at set times. Menus rotate regularly and can be adjusted to meet doctor-ordered or preference-based special diets, including low-sodium, diabetic, and texture-modified options. Staff monitor nutritional intake and alert clinical personnel if appetite or weight changes suggest a need for intervention.
Residents have access to an activity center stocked with board games, cards, and other tabletop pastimes. Scheduled daily activities aim to promote social engagement and cognitive stimulation, while health and wellness programs include light exercise classes, stretching, and educational seminars on topics such as fall prevention or chronic-disease management.
