Ballenger Creek Center in Frederick, MD operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing 24-hour licensed nursing care for residents who need ongoing medical supervision. The center delivers post-acute rehabilitation, long-term custodial care, and short-stay recovery for individuals discharged from hospitals. Skilled services include IV therapy, complex wound management, tracheostomy care, tube feeding, and pain management overseen by registered nurses and attending physicians. A full rehabilitation team supplies physical, occupational, and speech therapy aimed at restoring mobility, strength, and communication abilities.

Supporting these primary medical services are structured care programs such as medication administration, chronic disease monitoring, and individualized care planning that is updated regularly by an interdisciplinary team. On-site lab work, radiology coordination, pharmacy services, and regular physician rounds help reduce the need for outside appointments. Respiratory therapy, hospice support, and respite stays are available, and licensed social workers assist with discharge planning and family counseling to ensure continuity of care.

Accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms outfitted with adjustable beds, accessible bathrooms, individual climate controls, cable television, and wireless internet, although not all rooms contain every feature. Each room is equipped with an emergency call system linked directly to the nursing station, and housekeeping and laundry are provided on a routine schedule. Common areas such as lounges, activity rooms, and landscaped outdoor spaces give residents places to socialize or receive visitors.

Dining services supply three daily meals prepared under the guidance of a registered dietitian, with attention to therapeutic diets such as diabetic, renal, cardiac, and texture-modified options. Meals are typically served in a central dining room, but tray service to resident rooms is available for those who need or prefer it. Between-meal snacks and hydration stations are offered throughout the day, and care staff monitor nutritional intake to support overall health goals and physician orders.
