Maryland Aging in Place Care
Kenwood Care provides quality aging in place care for Howard County residents. Our assisted living facilities in Fulton, Dayton and Laurel are perfect for seniors who would like to live and age in a home-like environment comfortably, safely and as independently as possible.
Aging in Place vs. Aging at Home
Traditionally, aging in place refers to staying in one’s own home while maintaining high quality of life. This often requires costly modifications to your loved one’s residence, such as widening of door frames to accommodate a wheelchair, installation of grab bars, and other floor plan and home design changes. And even if the home is senior-proof and wheelchair-friendly, there may still be a need for a live-in or a visiting caregiver.
Our live-in caregivers will provide the level of care your loved one requires, including but not limited to:
- Personal care: bathing, dressing, incontinence care, etc.
- Custodial care: housekeeping, laundry, etc.
- Nutritional care: home-cooked meals and dietary restrictions
- Medical care: physical therapy, administration of medications, etc.
However, “aging in place” also has a broader definition that simply means living in a non-healthcare environment. A nursing home would be considered a healthcare environment, with its hospital-like setting and skilled nursing care. An assisted living facility or a residential care home provides an alternative solution for seniors who prefer not to be institutionalized a long as they can help it.
