Chesapeake Cottage in Snow Hill, MD operates primarily as an assisted-living community and augments that core service with an extensive menu of on-site clinical supports. Residents have access to independent-living and memory-care options, incontinence and ambulatory care, specialized programming for memory loss, pet-focused therapeutic activities, hospice oversight, and comprehensive medication management. Licensed nursing, occupational therapy, and physical therapy are available on site, and the staff is trained to work with advanced dementia as well as complex medical routines.
The community is equipped to serve residents who wander, need supervision day or night, use oxygen, require specialized diets, or manage diabetes through oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale protocols. A nurse is on call around the clock, night shifts are fully awake, all exterior doors are alarmed, and WanderGuard systems add an extra layer of security. For activities of daily living, full assistance is offered with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from standby help for walker users to one- and two-person transfers for wheelchair users.
Apartments come furnished and include routine housekeeping, and some have cable service for personal entertainment. Because floor plans differ, not every unit offers every feature, so it is advisable to confirm specific details during a visit.
Dining follows a set menu prepared to accommodate clinical and personal preferences. Snacks are available throughout the day, and in-room dining can be arranged when needed. Dietary modifications are routine, including mechanical-chopped, puréed, and thickened-liquid textures to align with physician orders and resident safety standards.
Community amenities are straightforward: the entire property is wheelchair accessible, and residents can connect to the internet from common areas or their rooms.
