Allview Retreat in Columbia, MD offers both Assisted Living and Residential Care Home levels of support. The community is equipped to manage behavioral issues, wound care, oxygen therapy, and specialized diets. Staff are trained to work with residents under 60 years old and to administer diabetic care that ranges from oral medications to injections and sliding-scale monitoring. Moderate dementia conditions are accommodated, and the clinical team coordinates closely with physicians to keep care plans current.
An RN or LPN is on site, a nurse is on call 24 hours a day, and every employee undergoes background checks. Night shifts are fully awake, and door alarms help prevent unsafe wandering. On-site podiatry is available, and the residence accepts individuals with psychiatric diagnoses. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility support covers walkers, wheelchairs, standby or supervised transfers, one-person or two-person lifts, and bed-bound care, allowing residents with varied physical needs to stay in the same setting as conditions change.
Private and companion rooms come furnished, and many can be personalized with paint or décor. Cable service, routine housekeeping, and scheduled laundry are available, although not every accommodation includes every feature, so families should verify specifics during a tour.
Meals are prepared on a set menu with an option to order alternatives at each sitting. Snacks are accessible throughout the day, and in-room dining can be arranged when needed. The kitchen manages a wide range of diet modifications, including gluten-free selections, mechanical-chop, puréed or thickened-liquid textures, and vegetarian choices. Residents requiring diabetic or other physician-ordered diets receive meals aligned with those instructions.
Amenities include resident parking, outdoor areas where smoking is permitted, and a fully wheelchair-accessible interior equipped with a stair glide for split-level sections. Internet access is available throughout the building. Transportation can be scheduled for medical appointments, shopping, and community outings.
