George Assisted Living Facility

George Assisted Living Facility, found at 6908 Noah Dr in Fort Washington, Maryland, sits in a quiet, country-like spot less than two miles from Andrew's Air Force Base, and with space for only five residents at a time, the place feels more like a big family home than a bustling center, so you'll find private and semi-private bedrooms that come furnished with beds and dressers, and rooms include things like cable TV, WiFi, and some have a kitchen or kitchenette, so seniors can feel a bit more at home, especially since the home's always filled with sunlight, color-coordinated rooms, and has wide hallways with ramps, so people who use walkers or wheelchairs can get around easy. The backyard's well-kept and there's outdoor seating for enjoying fresh air and watching birds, and the building's got video security and sprinkler systems for peace of mind, so families don't worry so much about safety, especially since doors lock and visitors get screened. Trained staff, including a part-time nurse, keep an eye on things around the clock, helping residents with personal care like bathing, dressing, medication management, and even things like wound care, diabetic support, and high-acuity medical needs, and they help arrange appointments for things like dental or vision care. Folks living here get three home-cooked meals daily and snacks in between, with diet changes offered for diabetes or high blood pressure, and staff pitch in for weekly laundry, housekeeping, and keeping personal spaces tidy, while there are always activities going on-maybe art, board games, movie nights in the TV lounge, music time, exercise, even animal therapy or special trips out for errands and faith services, and if someone needs a break, respite care's available for short stays. The place is pet-friendly, with designated smoke-free areas, so residents can bring their pets and not worry if they don't want to be around smoke, and there's a library for quiet reading, a fitness center for light workouts, a raised jacuzzi bath, beauty shop, meeting rooms, fire-lit lounge, and even a garden for a little peace and quiet. George Assisted Living Facility's family owned, started by a registered nurse in 2002, and makes a point of giving very personal, hands-on care, with plans updated as health needs change, so even folks with Alzheimer's and memory issues can stay in a homelike, cheerful setting, and loved ones can visit any time to join in the friendly atmosphere. Staff's happy to help with transportation to appointments and shopping, personal hygiene, dressing, getting in and out of bed, toileting, and more, with plenty of mobility aids available, and the small size means everyone gets to know each other, which helps with socializing, but, truth be told, it's a simple little place that does its best to make sure everyone feels safe and part of the group.
