House of Joseph in Upper Marlboro, MD operates as both an Assisted Living community and a Residential Care Home, giving residents two levels of structure under one roof. The team is prepared to manage behavioral issues, complex wound care, oxygen therapy, strict or specialized diets, and residents younger than 60. Diabetes care covers oral medication, injections, and sliding-scale protocols, and care plans can be adjusted for advanced dementia as well as other psychiatric conditions. On-site podiatry visits reduce outside appointments, and caregivers provide hands-on help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting whenever full assistance is required.

Clinical routines are backed by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call around the clock. Background-checked caregivers cover an asleep night shift, and a full-time activity director coordinates daily engagement. Security measures include 24-hour staffed supervision, a fenced rear area, and door alarms. Mobility support ranges from simple walker assistance to one-person transfers, Hoyer-lift moves, or total care for bed-bound residents, ensuring that changing physical needs can be met without relocation.

Private suites are available, some with en-suite bathrooms, furnished setups, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Because room layouts vary, not every accommodation includes every feature, so families should verify specifics during a tour. Meals follow a set menu prepared to accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications; snacks are always on hand to manage blood sugar or late-day hunger.

Independent Living residents on the same campus can choose medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan, allowing them to maintain autonomy while still drawing on the community’s support systems when needed.

The building is fully wheelchair accessible, and residents and guests have access to community internet for email, streaming, or virtual visits with family.
