Chesapeake Shores in Lexington Park, MD operates as a nursing home, offering 24-hour skilled nursing oversight for residents who require continuous clinical supervision. The care team includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants who monitor vital signs, manage medications, and address routine or urgent health needs. Short-term rehabilitation stays and long-term custodial care are both available, allowing families to select the level of support that matches each resident’s condition.

Medical support at the community includes on-site physical therapy services aimed at restoring or maintaining mobility and strength. Licensed therapists develop individualized treatment plans, coordinate closely with the nursing staff, and schedule therapy sessions in a dedicated rehab area equipped with parallel bars, resistance tools, and adaptive devices. Progress notes are updated in the resident’s chart, ensuring physicians, nurses, and therapists stay aligned on goals such as fall reduction, post-surgical recovery, or chronic condition management.

Accommodation choices range from private to semiprivate rooms. Each layout is furnished with basic bedroom and bathroom fixtures, and select rooms include in-room internet access for personal devices or video calls. Because not every unit contains the same features, families are encouraged to confirm room specifications during a tour.

Meals are prepared on-site three times per day, with staff monitoring nutritional intake and accommodating physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanically altered textures. Residents who need assistance eating receive help from trained aides, while others can dine independently in the communal dining room or choose meal delivery to their room when medically necessary.

Residents have access to a library and computer lounge, providing quiet reading space and internet-enabled workstations for email, entertainment, or virtual visits with family. Social activities are often scheduled in this area, such as current events discussion groups and technology tutorials.
