Martha Assisted Living Dellabrooke in Olney, MD operates as both an Assisted Living residence and a Residential Care Home. Within these settings, the team is equipped to manage residents who are under 60 as well as those who need diabetic oversight, whether controlled by oral medication, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. The community is licensed to support mild dementia and is structured to integrate medical oversight into daily routines rather than relying solely on off-site providers.
Round-the-clock staffing and security ensure continuous monitoring, and a visiting podiatrist addresses foot-health needs on site. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they are trained to carry out a range of transfers, including walker, wheelchair, standby or supervised transfers, one-person transfers, and support for residents who are bed bound. This spectrum of direct, hands-on support is intended to keep residents safely engaged while reducing the need for frequent hospital visits.
Private and semi-private rooms are available; some come furnished and some include cable service, so it is best to confirm individual room specifications during a tour. The environment is kept straightforward and functional, without unnecessary extras that could complicate navigation for residents who use mobility devices.
Dining follows a set menu designed to meet standard nutritional guidelines, and snacks are on hand throughout the day to accommodate varied eating schedules or blood-sugar management plans. Staff members observe meal intake closely, particularly for residents requiring assistance or glucose monitoring, and adjust portion sizes or timing as directed by the clinical team.
The property is wheelchair accessible and includes a stair glide to reach any split-level areas, minimizing barriers for residents who tire easily on stairs. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and essential errands, further supporting continuity of care without placing the burden on families.
