Charlestown Community Inc in Catonsville, MD operates as a nursing home and centers its services on skilled care. Residents have access to on-site physical therapy delivered by licensed therapists who develop treatment plans aimed at maintaining or improving mobility. Short-term respite care is available for individuals who need temporary support, and the community is structured to provide multiple levels of care so a resident can move to a more appropriate care setting within the same campus if health needs change.
Additional support is coordinated by a clinical team that monitors each resident’s condition and implements physician-ordered care plans. On-site security is present around the clock, adding a layer of safety for residents and staff. Medication administration, assistance with daily activities, and routine health assessments are organized to keep care consistent and responsive.
Accommodation options vary in size and layout, and not every unit includes every feature. Depending on the residence selected, a resident may have access to a private telephone line, cable TV, internet service, and utilities bundled into the monthly fee. Several buildings offer a library and computer lounge, a separate computer lab for focused use, and outdoor areas that can be used during posted hours.
Meals are prepared on site, and residents receive three daily meals with menu choices designed to meet common dietary requirements. Staff members handle portion control and specialized diets as ordered by physicians or dietitians. Dining rooms follow set seating times, and snacks are available between meals for residents who need additional caloric support.
Residents can spend free time in the activity center, which schedules group programs throughout the week, or in the woodworking shop that is equipped for hobby-level projects under supervision.
