Joined Hands Assisted Living in Gaithersburg, MD operates both as an Assisted Living residence and as a Residential Care Home, giving families two levels of structure under one roof. The community accepts residents who wander, present behavioral challenges, require wound care, need oxygen, follow special diets, are under 60, or manage diabetes by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Moderate dementia conditions are supported, and medication management is handled by trained staff in coordination with physicians and pharmacies.
Care delivery is reinforced by a nurse on call 24 hours a day, an overnight staff that remains on the premises, fenced front and rear grounds, and door alarms to reduce elopement risk. Residents who need full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting receive hands-on help, and the team is prepared for walker and wheelchair mobility, standby or one-person transfers, and even care for bed-bound individuals. These provisions allow the community to keep residents safely in place as needs change.
Private and shared rooms are available, and many come furnished, include private bathrooms, and have cable service, although not every room offers every feature. Housekeeping, linen service, and basic maintenance are included. Independent Living residents can opt for medication-management monitoring, regular housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan while remaining in their own unit.
Meals are served from a set menu designed to meet general nutritional standards, and diet modifications are available for physician-ordered restrictions such as low-sodium, diabetic, or renal diets. Snacks are on hand throughout the day. Staff members supervise or provide full feeding assistance when required, ensuring residents with limited dexterity or cognitive impairment maintain adequate intake.
The property offers resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, internet access for personal devices, a stair glide for safer movement between levels, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments or local errands.
