LET'S MAKE OUR HOUSE YOUR HOME
Welcome Home!
Because We Care Assisted Living is a beautiful three-story home located in a quiet residential neighborhood in the Govans area of Baltimore, MD. We are licensed by the State of Maryland to provide assisted living services, ranging from the care of more independent individuals who desire activities and socialization, to those who require assistance with medications, transportation, bathing or other activities of daily living.
Housing just four residents, Because We Care takes pride in ensuring timely and efficient attention to each resident's individual needs. We perfectly encompass personalized assistance, supportive services and our C.A.R.E. model in a gracious, home setting.
Our residents have the option of private or semi-private rooms, each cable-ready, with wi-fi access and private phone. They also enjoy beautifully furnished common areas, delicious meals and snacks, exciting activities and trips, housekeeping services, transportation and escort to appointments, and access to spiritual/religious places of worship.
At Because We Care, we recognize that each resident has unique needs and preferences. To make sure that each resident maintains the optimal day-to-day living environment we conduct a comprehensive nursing assessment with every resident and their family, prior to move-in (and as necessary), to fully understand what support, assistance and care is needed in a variety of areas. With this tool we are able to provide and individualized plan of care and service.
Our staff is special too. Each of us takes great pride in applying the C.A.R.E. model in all that we do. We are all naturally Compassionate, Attentive, Respectful, and Encouraging (C.A.R.E.), because of our sincere love for people. We strive each day to make our house your home.....Because We Care.
FUNDING OPTIONS
We understand that that finding and funding care is a daunting task, to say the least. This is why we provode several unique options that you or your love one may be eligible for. Click here for more information.
MEDICATION MANAGEMENT
Medications are essential for the care of seniors. When used appropriately, medications are effective treatments for acute and chronic conditions. Pain relievers, for example, help a person with arthritis to button his shirt, or a woman to feed herself.
The benefits of medications invite potential hazards like toxicity, adverse drug reactions, interactions, other adverse reactions.
Yet, a great number of assisted living residents depend upon medications for treating short-term and chronic illnesses. 85% of the residents require assistance with management of their meds.
The medicines dramatically improve a resident's quality of life.
If you have a loved one in assisted care, you know that these seemingly little things can go a long way in preserving dignity and independence. On the flip side, if medicines are not taken as directed, there are serious consequences
NUTRITIONAL AND DIETARY COUNSELING
We recognize that a healthy mind, body and spirit are fundamental to maintaining one’s quality of life. For this reason, we’ve partnered with the nationally recognized YMCA to provide residents with access to the nearest gym facility to participate in “We Care Fitness.” There are several activities available to enjoy such as: water aerobics, full use of exercise equipment, and other social activities.
A balanced diet is important to sustain physical health. A nutritional meal plan is provided daily with consideration given to those that might have specific dietary restrictions. Heart healthy snacks are available throughout the day.
Other forms of health promotion include:
- In-house activities such as painting, dance, board games, cards, and puzzles
- Church and Religious services
-Adult Daycare and social clubs
