Acumen Care Assisted Living in Silver Spring delivers both Assisted Living and Residential Care Home options, with particular experience supporting residents who present complex medical profiles. The team is equipped to manage wandering behaviors at any time of day, elopement risks, combative or other behavioral challenges, sleep-wake reversals, wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, younger residents under 60, and every level of diabetic management from oral medication to sliding-scale insulin. Residents living with advanced dementia conditions receive structured supervision and redirection that aligns with their evolving cognitive needs.
Round-the-clock oversight is standard. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on site, a nurse is always on call, and all staff complete background checks. Caregivers remain awake overnight, doors are alarmed, and the building maintains 24-hour staffed security. Direct care includes full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer capabilities range from standby help for walker users to one-person transfers, wheelchair assistance, Hoyer lift moves, and bed-bound care, allowing residents to age in place even as mobility declines.
Residences at Acumen Care Assisted Living vary; some offer private bathrooms, furnishings, cable service, and regular housekeeping, while others include only a portion of these features. Families can select the room configuration that best matches need and budget. Independent Living residents benefit from medication-management monitoring and scheduled laundry service, ensuring continuity of support without unnecessary intrusion.
Dining follows a set menu prepared to physician-approved standards, with snacks available between meals. The kitchen modifies textures, portions, and nutrients to accommodate diabetic, cardiac, renal, or other medically indicated diets, so residents receive meals that align with their treatment plans and personal preferences.
Community amenities include fully wheelchair-accessible common areas, reliable internet access for personal devices, and a stair glide that makes multi-level navigation safer for those with limited mobility.
