Malta House – South in Hyattsville provides assisted-living support with an emphasis on medical oversight. The community accepts residents who wander day or night, display combative or behavioral issues, stay up all night, require wound care or oxygen therapy, follow special diets, or manage diabetes with oral medication. Care teams are trained to work with advanced dementia conditions, ensuring continuity for residents as needs increase. On-site podiatry services and the ability to accept psychiatric diagnoses round out the medical scope.

Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are on staff and a nurse is on call 24 hours a day. Background-checked caregivers cover both awake and asleep night shifts, and an activity director is present during the day. The building uses door alarms, wander guards, fenced outdoor areas, 24-hour security staffing, and pull-cord systems that either alert staff or dial 911. Residents who need help bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting receive full assistance, and transfers are available for those using walkers, wheelchairs, or who need standby or one-person support.

Private and semi-private rooms are available, some with private bathrooms and furnished basics. Residents may paint or decorate their space, and many rooms are wired for cable. Housekeeping is provided, and independent-living residents can add housekeeping, laundry, medication-management monitoring, and a monthly meal plan to their service package. Not every room has every feature, so it is advisable to ask about specific layouts during a tour.

Meals follow a set menu with alternative choices for physician-ordered diets, diabetes management, or other nutritional needs. Snacks are always on hand, and staff monitor residents who need help eating to ensure adequate intake.

Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, wellness center, communal gardens, and internet access. Religious services are offered on site, and pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
