Serenity Gardens Silver Spring operates as both an Assisted Living residence and a Residential Care Home, allowing the team to adapt to residents with varying levels of need. The community can manage wandering behaviors throughout the day and night, address elopement risks, and supervise residents who stay up all night. Comprehensive clinical attention covers wound care, oxygen therapy, and specialized diets. Diabetes support ranges from oral medications to injections and sliding-scale insulin, giving families confidence that blood-sugar control is monitored on site.
Round-the-clock oversight is delivered by an RN or LPN in the building, backed by a nurse who is on call 24 hours a day. Staff members work awake night shifts, have completed background checks, and rely on door-alarm systems to track exit points. Routine podiatry is provided on site. Caregivers can offer full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained in multiple transfer techniques—including standby, one-person transfers, wheelchair use, walker support, and care for bed-bound residents—so residents can remain in place as needs change.
Private and semi-private rooms are available; some include a private bathroom, basic furnishings, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate, while others may have a different mix of features. Prospective residents should confirm the exact layout and amenities of the room being considered.
Meals follow a set menu prepared in consultation with dietary guidelines, and snacks are available between meals. The kitchen staff can modify textures and nutrients to meet physician-ordered diets, such as low-sodium or carbohydrate-controlled plans. Independent-living residents on campus may elect medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan to simplify day-to-day routines.
Common areas are wheelchair accessible, Wi-Fi is provided for personal devices, and a stair glide helps residents move safely between levels.
