Woodlands at Reid Temple in Glenn Dale, Maryland, offers assisted-living services designed for residents who need help with daily activities while still valuing their independence. Trained caregivers are on duty around the clock to assist with dressing, bathing, mobility, and continence support. Licensed nurses oversee medication management, coordinate prescription refills, and monitor vital signs, working closely with each resident’s physician to adjust care plans as health needs change. Emergency response systems and routine health assessments aim to catch potential issues early and reduce hospitalizations.
In addition to direct medical oversight, the community provides regular wellness checks, on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy through visiting clinicians, and scheduled transportation to outside medical appointments. Rehabilitation progress is tracked and communicated to families, and fall-prevention programs further support resident safety. The staff arranges on-site lab work, imaging, and podiatry visits when needed, and the community maintains relationships with nearby hospitals for seamless transitions if a higher level of care becomes necessary.
Accommodations range from studio layouts to one-bedroom apartments, each designed for easy navigation with slip-resistant flooring and lever-style door handles. Many units include private bathrooms with walk-in showers, individual climate controls, basic cable, and emergency pull cords, although not every apartment offers every feature. Housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are provided on a set schedule, and common lounges, a library, and landscaped walking paths give residents additional living space outside their rooms.
Residents receive three meals daily in a central dining room, where menu choices are planned by a dietitian to meet nutritional guidelines and special diets such as low-sodium or diabetic plans. Meals are served restaurant-style, and staff are available to assist anyone who needs help cutting food or transferring from a wheelchair to a chair. Snacks and beverages are offered throughout the day, and a private dining area can be reserved for family gatherings, creating opportunities for residents to share meals with visitors without disrupting the routine of the larger community.
