Ft Washington Health Center in Fort Washington, MD operates as a nursing-home provider, delivering around-the-clock skilled nursing supervision and support with everyday tasks such as mobility, bathing, and medication management. Licensed nurses are on duty at all times, and individualized care plans are updated as medical conditions change to help residents maintain the highest practicable level of health.
Additional medical services available on site include physical therapy programs run by licensed therapists who work with residents on strength, balance, and mobility goals. The center also offers short-term respite care, giving family caregivers a reliable option when they need a temporary break while ensuring that the resident receives professional monitoring and clinical oversight during the stay.
Resident rooms are designed to meet basic comfort and safety standards, and many come equipped with a private phone connection for direct communication with family and health professionals. Not every room includes every feature, so prospective residents and families are encouraged to confirm specific accommodation details during a tour.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times a day, with menus reviewed for nutritional adequacy by dietary staff familiar with the needs of older adults and those with chronic health conditions. Modified textures, therapeutic diets, and between-meal snacks can be provided when ordered by a physician or dietitian.
For daily engagement, residents can make use of the Activity Center, which schedules group events such as games, arts projects, and discussion sessions to encourage social interaction and cognitive stimulation.
