Nichols Senior Care in Edgewood, Maryland, operates as both an assisted-living community and a residential care home. The team is equipped to support residents who require oxygen therapy, are younger than 60, or manage diabetes with either oral medications or insulin injections. Moderate dementia conditions are also accommodated, and staff coordinate closely with physicians to keep individualized medical plans current.
Round-the-clock RN and LPN coverage, an awake night shift, and 24-hour security form the backbone of daily oversight. The building’s rear perimeter is fenced and exterior doors are alarmed to help prevent wandering. On-site clinical offerings include incontinence management, memory care programming, high-acuity oversight, non-ambulatory care, and medication administration. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, plus some physical help at mealtimes. Transfers are supported at multiple levels—from standby supervision to one- or two-person lifts—whether a resident uses a walker or wheelchair.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, with options for furnished setups, in-room cable service, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry. Not every accommodation includes every feature, so it is recommended that families confirm specific room details during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu that rotates to provide variety. Snacks are stocked and accessible throughout the day, and the kitchen team can adjust recipes for physician-ordered diet modifications or texture changes.
Residents have access to outdoor smoking areas, barrier-free entryways and corridors for wheelchair navigation, facility-wide internet connectivity, and communal gardens designed for everyday use.
