Joseph Home Assisted Living in Silver Spring, MD operates as both an assisted living residence and a residential care home, allowing care to be matched to each resident’s needs. The clinical team manages residents who wander during the day or night, are at risk of elopement, or display combative or other behavioral challenges, and it accepts individuals with advanced dementia. Medical oversight includes wound care, oxygen therapy, special-diet preparation, and comprehensive diabetes support whether the person uses oral medication, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. The community also welcomes adults under 60 and coordinates care for psychiatric conditions.

A nurse is on call 24 hours a day, awake staff patrol the building overnight, and door alarms and a fenced rear area add another layer of safety; all employees have passed background checks. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they support a wide range of mobility needs—from standby help for walker users to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents. Wheelchair access is built into daily routines, ensuring residents move around the property safely.

Rooms are offered furnished, and families may personalize the space by painting or adding décor; cable service is available in some units, so availability should be confirmed during a tour. Independent living participants can enlist medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, regular laundry, and an optional monthly meal plan, giving them a measure of autonomy while still benefiting from support.

Meals follow a set menu, yet staff will prepare on-order items when possible and keep snacks available throughout the day. Diet modifications such as low-sodium, carbohydrate-controlled, or pureed meals are arranged to match physician directives, helping residents maintain consistent nutrition that aligns with their health plans.

Resident parking is provided, and every area of the building is wheelchair accessible. Internet access is available for residents who wish to stay connected, and scheduled transportation services complement the community’s close proximity to public transit, simplifying trips to appointments and local shops.
