Martha Assisted Living Blakenship in Olney, MD operates as both an Assisted Living residence and a Residential Care Home. The community delivers clinical oversight for wound care and supplemental oxygen, accepts residents under 60, and manages diabetes whether controlled by oral medications, injections, or on a sliding-scale protocol. Care teams are also prepared to support mild dementia, coordinating closely with physicians to adjust plans as conditions evolve.
A nurse is on call 24 hours a day, and visiting podiatry is available on site. The staff can assist fully with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they are trained to provide mobility support that ranges from standby supervision to one-person transfers and care for residents who are bed bound. Walker and wheelchair use are accommodated, and the residence accepts individuals with certain psychiatric diagnoses after assessment.
Private rooms are offered, many of which come furnished and have their own bathrooms, although not every accommodation includes every feature. Cable service can be connected for residents who want in-room television.
Meals follow a set menu prepared in-house, with attention to diabetic and other special diets as ordered by physicians. Snacks are kept available between meals so residents can maintain stable blood sugar levels or simply eat according to personal preference.
The building is wheelchair accessible, has internet access for residents and visitors, and a stair glide for individuals who need help navigating levels. Scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments and essential errands.
