ARBOR PLACE in Rockville, MD is dedicated to Memory Care and is prepared to manage the full spectrum of cognitive decline, including advanced dementia. The team is experienced with residents who wander at any time of day, exhibit exit-seeking or elopement behaviors, present combative or other behavioral issues, stay awake throughout the night, or live with complex medical needs such as wound care, oxygen therapy, specialized diets, and diabetes management—whether by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The community also admits younger residents under 60 when clinically appropriate.
Continuous oversight is backed by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24/7. All employees undergo background checks, and the night shift remains awake. Safety measures include alarmed doors, a fenced rear area, and a personal emergency response system that can notify staff or dial 911. On-site medical services bring in podiatry, dental, audiology, and psychiatric expertise. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and can handle transfers ranging from standby support to two-person, Hoyer lift, or bed-bound moves. Walkers and wheelchairs are routinely accommodated.
Residences are offered with a choice of features such as private bathrooms, basic furnishings, cable access, and the option for personal painting or décor; however, availability of each feature can vary by unit. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are included, and independent-living residents can opt into light housekeeping services tailored for IL. Communal spaces are maintained for daily living and social interaction.
Dining centers on a set menu that is adjusted for individual dietary requirements, including gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid options. Snacks are available throughout the day, and diet modifications are monitored by staff who coordinate closely with physicians and dietitians to meet medical or cultural needs.
Residents have access to a barber and beauty shop, internet connectivity, landscaped communal gardens, and on-site religious services.
