Magnolia House Assisted Living Facility in Silver Spring, MD operates as both an assisted-living residence and a residential care home, allowing it to support a wide range of medical profiles. The team accepts residents who wander during the day or night, have exit-seeking or elopement tendencies, display combative or other behavioral issues, remain awake overnight, or require wound care. Oxygen therapy, special diet preparation, and diabetes management on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin are all routinely handled. Advanced dementia, including late-stage cognitive decline, is within scope, and visiting podiatry rounds are provided on site to help residents avoid off-site appointments whenever possible.

To maintain safety for these medical needs, an RN or LPN is always on staff and a nurse is on site 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, and there are both awake and asleep night-shift caregivers. Doors are alarmed, the front and rear yards are fenced, and a wander guard system adds an extra layer of oversight. Residents who need hands-on help receive full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby for those using a walker to one-person or two-person assists, full-lift Hoyer transfers, and care for bed-bound individuals. An activity director plans daily programming once basic health needs are met.

Accommodation choices include furnished or unfurnished rooms, some of which offer private bathrooms, cable hookups, and the option to repaint or personalize the décor; availability of these features varies by unit. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are standard services for every resident. Dining follows a set menu at each meal, but the kitchen also accepts on-order requests and keeps snacks available throughout the day. Meals can be served in a private dining room, the main dining area, or delivered to the resident’s room if preferred, and dietary modifications are made per physician orders.

Magnolia House extends several support options to independent-living residents who occupy nearby apartments on the same campus. Staff can monitor medication routines, perform weekly housekeeping and laundry, and enroll residents in a monthly meal plan that allows them to dine in the main building while still maintaining their own living space. This arrangement offers a stepped level of oversight without requiring a formal transition into assisted living.

The community is wheelchair accessible throughout and provides resident parking, on-site barber and beauty services, a movie room, and a wellness center with internet access for telehealth or personal use. On-site specialty providers visit regularly, and scheduled transportation is available for outside appointments; public transit stops are also close to the property for residents and visitors who prefer that option.
