Country Acres Assisted Living LLC in Westminster, Maryland, operates as both an assisted-living residence and a residential care home. The staff can manage oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes care for residents who use either oral medication or insulin injections. The community also accepts individuals living with moderate dementia and is prepared to monitor changes in cognition or behavior.
A nurse is on call around the clock, background checks are completed on employees, and an awake night shift monitors door-alarmed exits supported by a wander-guard system. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility needs are met with support for walkers, wheelchairs, standby assistance, one-person or two-person transfers, full transfers using a Hoyer lift, and services for residents who are bed-bound.
Private and companion rooms are available; some come furnished and may include cable service. Housekeeping and regularly scheduled laundry are provided, eliminating routine chores for residents, but specific features can vary by accommodation. Residents dine from a set menu, and staff can adjust meals for physician-ordered diets or personal dietary preferences. Snacks are offered outside regular meal times so residents can eat when convenient.
Meals are served in a common dining area designed to support social interaction, and personal assistance is available for anyone who needs help cutting food or maintaining proper posture while eating. The kitchen can adapt textures and portion sizes to accommodate medical conditions such as dysphagia or controlled carbohydrate needs for diabetes management.
The property is wheelchair accessible and offers an on-site barber and beauty shop, a wellness center for routine health checks or therapy exercises, internet access for email and video calls, and communal gardens for outdoor relaxation. A scheduled shuttle is available for medical appointments.
