Sequoia Senior Care is a licensed residential care home in Columbia, Maryland that can serve adults who require varied medical oversight. The community accepts residents who need monitoring for diabetes—whether managed by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin—and those who use oxygen, follow special diets, or live with moderate dementia. Specialized wound care is available, and staff remain up all night to meet needs that arise after hours. Younger adults under 60 are welcome when their care profile matches the home’s capabilities.
Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day for urgent questions or changes in condition. All caregivers pass background checks, work an awake night shift, and can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision to two-person or Hoyer lift support, including care for residents who are bed bound. The property has door alarms, a fenced rear area, and onsite security 24/7, while an activity director coordinates daily engagement. Podiatry visits are available on site, and the staff is trained to support residents with psychiatric diagnoses.
Private and semi-private rooms are offered; some are furnished and some allow residents to bring their own furniture or paint and decorate the space. Select rooms include a kitchenette, cable service, and internet access, while all receive routine housekeeping and scheduled laundry. Because features vary by unit, prospective residents should confirm which amenities are present in their preferred accommodation.
Dining includes three daily meals prepared to match each resident’s diet order. The kitchen can provide meals from a set menu or cook to order, and modified textures such as mechanical soft, puree, or thickened liquids are available. Gluten-free, vegetarian, and other physician-prescribed diets are accommodated. Snacks are stocked throughout the day, and in-room dining is an option when a resident’s health or preference calls for it.
Sequoia Senior Care offers resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, internet access, and a library for quiet reading. A stair glide assists those who need help between floors. Outdoor smoking is permitted in designated areas, and on-site religious services are scheduled regularly to support spiritual needs.
