Mamie’S Loving Care Inc. in Dunkirk, MD operates as both an Assisted Living residence and a Residential Care Home, allowing the team to handle a broad range of health needs under one roof. Clinical support covers residents who wander during the day or at night, have an elopement risk, display combative or other challenging behaviors, stay awake overnight, require wound care, oxygen therapy, or follow special diets. The staff supports adults under 60 as well as older adults, and accommodates diabetics whether they use oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale protocols. Advanced dementia care is available, ensuring continuity of service even as cognitive conditions progress.
Around-the-clock nurse availability, routine background checks, and a fenced, door-alarmed environment establish the safety framework. An activity director coordinates daily engagement, while visiting podiatry services reduce outside appointments. The community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses, extending oversight beyond standard physical care. Direct help is offered with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, all at the full-assistance level when required. Transfer support ranges from supervision for walker users to one-person and two-person lifts, as well as assistance for wheelchair users and those who are bed-bound.
Private and shared rooms are available; some include a private bathroom, furnishings, cable service, and the option to repaint or decorate—features vary by unit and should be confirmed during a visit. Residents in the Independent Living program receive medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan, giving them oversight without losing autonomy.
Meals follow a set menu designed by the dietary team, and snacks are on hand throughout the day. Special diets, including low-sugar or carbohydrate-controlled plans for diabetics, are prepared as ordered. Staff monitor intake for residents who need encouragement or direct feeding assistance, and the kitchen coordinates with nursing to update nutritional orders promptly.
The property is wheelchair accessible, offers internet access in common areas, and holds on-site religious services for those who wish to attend without leaving campus. Proximity to public transportation helps family members and residents schedule outings or medical appointments with minimal planning.
