Butterfly Care Residential Living in Frederick, Maryland operates as a residential care home and is equipped to manage a wide range of clinical needs. The team supports residents who require wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, diabetic management—including oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale protocols—and those who are up at night. Full assistance is available with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and staff are trained in every level of transfer, from standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer lift moves for bed-bound residents. The community also accepts adults under 60 and is prepared for residents living with advanced dementia.
Clinical oversight is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call around the clock. An awake night shift monitors residents, and background-checked team members are on site 24 hours a day. Safety measures include door alarms, a fenced rear area, pull-cord alert systems, and dedicated security staff. On-site medical services extend to visiting podiatry, ensuring foot health is managed without leaving the community.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, some furnished and others ready for personal furniture. Residents may paint or decorate their space, though not every room allows the same level of customization. Cable service, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry are provided for most accommodations, but availability can vary by unit.
Meals are prepared using both set menus and on-order selections, with snacks offered throughout the day. The kitchen team accommodates diet modifications such as mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, and vegetarian plans, and works closely with nursing staff to manage physician-ordered diets, including diabetic and other medical restrictions.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, internet connectivity, and regularly scheduled religious services without leaving the property. Transportation is available for medical appointments and errands, and the campus is close to public transportation for residents and families who prefer that option.
