Angels Garden III in Silver Spring, MD operates as both an assisted living residence and a small residential care home, allowing it to meet a wide range of medical needs. Residents with behavioral issues, sleep reversal, wounds, oxygen requirements, or specialized diet orders receive direct oversight from an RN or LPN on staff, with a nurse on call around the clock. The community is prepared for diabetic residents who need injections or sliding-scale insulin and has established protocols to support advanced dementia conditions. A visiting podiatrist provides routine foot care, reducing the need for outside appointments.
Daily personal-care coverage is designed for complete dependence where necessary. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and are trained in every level of transfer aid—from simple walker support to one-person assists, Hoyer lifts, and care for those who are bedbound. Background checks are completed on all employees to reinforce resident safety.
Rooms are equipped with cable service, although availability can vary by unit, so families should confirm specific features when touring. Layouts accommodate both private and shared preferences, allowing residents to select the arrangement that best fits their budget and level of desired privacy.
Meals are served three times a day on a set menu, with the option to order alternatives when clinically appropriate or simply preferred. Between-meal snacks are always on hand, and the kitchen staff can modify textures, portion sizes, or nutrient content to match physician-directed diet plans. Independent-living residents on campus can enroll in medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry, and a monthly meal plan that covers daily nutritional needs while preserving autonomy.
Resident parking is provided for those who still drive, and scheduled transportation can be arranged for medical visits, shopping, or personal errands. Internet access is available throughout the community, enabling residents to stay connected with family, handle personal business online, or stream entertainment.
