Brighthouse Assisted Living in Laurel, MD operates as both an assisted living community and a residential care home, positioning it to address a broad range of daily and clinical needs. The staff is prepared to support residents who wander during the day or night, manage wounds, adhere to special diets, and live with diabetes—whether controlled by oral medications, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. Individuals under 60 years old and those with mild dementia conditions are accepted, and the community’s care plans can be tailored around each person’s medical profile.
An RN or LPN is on site, and a nurse is on call around the clock. All employees undergo background checks; door alarms and an awake night-shift team add another layer of security. Podiatry visits are handled in house, and the residence is open to individuals with psychiatric diagnoses. Full-assistance support is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and staff can facilitate transfers that range from simple standby help to one-person lifts for wheelchair users.
Private and semi-private rooms are offered furnished, and residents may paint or otherwise personalize their space if desired. Some rooms include cable service. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided, although availability of specific features varies by unit, so families should confirm details during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu, but an on-order option is available for residents who need or prefer something different. Snacks are stocked throughout the day. Therapeutic diets required for diabetes, wound healing, and other conditions are prepared under staff supervision to ensure medical directives are followed.
Residents may smoke in designated outdoor areas, and community-wide internet access supports email, video calls, and online entertainment. Scheduled transportation is offered for medical appointments and local errands, making it easier for residents to maintain external commitments without arranging private rides.
