Apple Blossoms in Silver Spring, MD, offers both Assisted Living and Residential Care Home options. The community is equipped to care for residents who need routine or complex medical oversight, including wound management, oxygen therapy, and specialized diet preparation. Staff are trained to assist adults under 60 as well as seniors, and the team manages diabetes whether controlled by oral medication, insulin injections, or sliding-scale protocols. Advanced dementia care is supported, and podiatry visits are handled on site. The community also welcomes residents with certain psychiatric diagnoses.
Around-the-clock clinical coverage is in place: an RN or LPN is on staff and a nurse is on call 24/7, with an awake night shift monitoring door alarms, pull-cord alerts, and a personal emergency response system. Background-checked caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift support for bed-bound individuals. A fenced rear area and continual staff presence supply added security, while an activity director coordinates daily programming.
Accommodation choices include rooms that may feature a private bathroom, basic furnishings, cable service, and the option for residents to paint or decorate; availability of these features varies, so prospective residents should confirm details in advance. Housekeeping and linen service are provided, and maintenance takes care of repairs.
Meals follow a set menu with snacks offered throughout the day, and the kitchen modifies textures and ingredients to meet physician-ordered diets. Residents in Independent Living can opt for medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan, giving them added support without full assisted-living care.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, internet service, a stair glide for those who prefer it to an elevator, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments or errands.
