Pfefferkorn Assisted Living in West Friendship, Maryland, operates as both an Assisted Living community and a Residential Care Home. The team is equipped to care for residents who wander at any hour, display behavioral concerns, stay awake through the night, require wound management, or need specialized diets. Support extends to adults under age 60 and to individuals living with advanced dementia. Diabetic residents can be managed on oral medication, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen.

Continuous oversight is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift watches over a fenced front and rear yard with alarmed doors. On-site services include podiatry, audiology, and dental care, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric conditions. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility options cover walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, one-person transfers, two-person transfers, and bed-bound care.

Resident accommodations are available furnished and may include cable service, in-unit laundry machines, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry service; individual suites differ, so not every room offers every feature. Routine maintenance and prompt response to repair requests are part of the daily operations.

Meals follow a set menu that can be modified to meet physician-ordered or resident-requested diets. The kitchen can provide gluten-free selections, mechanical-chopped or pureed textures, thickened liquids, and vegetarian choices, ensuring adherence to dietary needs and preferences.

The community is wheelchair accessible and offers on-site barber and beauty services, internet access, a library, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments and local errands.
