Yolanda’s Home in Clarksville, Maryland, operates as an assisted living residence with an emphasis on direct medical oversight. Licensed staff coordinate wound care, manage supplemental oxygen, and implement physician-ordered special diets. The team is trained to support residents with diabetes, whether they rely on oral medications, scheduled insulin injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. Caregivers are also experienced with residents who have mild dementia, providing supervision that balances safety with independence.

Clinical supervision is anchored by an RN or LPN on staff, complemented by a nurse on call around the clock. All team members undergo background checks, and a dedicated night shift remains awake to respond to changes in condition. The property maintains 24-hour security, alarmed exits, and protocols to monitor residents who may wander. On-site services accept residents with stable psychiatric diagnoses, and hands-on assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting at whatever level—up to full assistance—is required. Mobility support spans simple standby help through one-person transfers, full transfers with a Hoyer lift, and care for individuals who are bed-bound.

Housing options are furnished and can include cable service and scheduled personal laundry, although individual suites vary and not every room contains every feature. Families can review floor plans and choose the setup that best matches the resident’s budget and preferences. Maintenance, housekeeping, and linen service are standard, freeing residents from daily chores.

Meals follow an on-order system that lets residents select from the day’s offerings, with snacks available outside of scheduled dining times. Dietitians coordinate menu modifications such as gluten-free selections, mechanical-chopped or puréed textures, thickened liquids, vegetarian choices, and other clinically ordered adjustments. Those who prefer or require privacy may eat in their rooms, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings.

Independent living residents who choose to reside on the same campus can enroll in medication management monitoring. Staff oversee prescription refills, set up pill organizers, and provide scheduled reminders or direct administration as needed. This service allows individuals who are largely self-sufficient to remain in a less restrictive setting while maintaining adherence to their treatment plans.

The community permits outdoor smoking, is fully wheelchair accessible, and offers a barber and beauty shop, internet connectivity, and regularly scheduled on-site religious services. A pool provides low-impact exercise and social opportunities, and transportation is arranged for medical appointments, shopping, and community outings.
