Montgomery Eldercare 4 operates as both an assisted-living residence and a licensed residential care home, allowing it to serve older adults who need varying levels of help as well as residents younger than 60 who meet medical eligibility. The team is equipped to care for people who wander, live with behavioral issues, use oxygen, follow complex or specialized diets, or manage diabetes by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale coverage. Staff members are trained to recognize and respond to advanced dementia and other cognitive conditions, ensuring appropriate redirection and safety oversight throughout the day.
Care is delivered under the supervision of an RN or LPN, with a nurse on call around the clock and awake staff on duty every night. Podiatry visits are provided on site to reduce the need for outside appointments. Background-checked caregivers offer full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they accommodate a wide range of mobility requirements—from steady walker users to residents who need one- or two-person transfers or are fully bed-bound. Door alarms, 24-hour staffing, and monitored security systems help minimize exit-seeking behavior and enhance overall safety.
Private and semi-private rooms are available; each is furnished, and most include cable service, while some allow residents to repaint or add personal décor to suit individual preferences. Because room layouts differ, not every accommodation offers the same features, so families should verify specifics during their tour. Housekeeping, laundry, and routine maintenance are handled by staff, eliminating day-to-day chores for residents.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet general nutritional guidelines, with snacks accessible between dining periods. The kitchen team can modify textures, portion sizes, and ingredients to honor physician-ordered or resident-requested diet plans, including low-sugar or low-sodium selections. Independent-living participants may opt into medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping and laundry service, and a monthly meal plan that delivers the same dining standards while allowing more flexibility in daily routines.
Community amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, reliable internet access, and scheduled on-site religious services for various faiths. A transportation program is in place for medical appointments, local errands, and group outings, helping residents remain connected to the broader Silver Spring community.
