At the foot of the Allegheny Mountains, the most spectacular fall color in the country can be found in historic Cumberla
nd, Maryland. This small, picturesque community is the perfect place for a state-of-the-art memory care residence.
CountryHouse is located right next door to The Kensington, our sister assisted living residence in Cumberland. Both are within two blocks of the quaint downtown area, which features restaurants, shopping, banks and other key services.
CountryHouse Cumberland is a single-level home, divided into two smaller living areas. Residential in appearance, it features an open kitchen, charming decor, and cozy living rooms.
More importantly, it was created specifically to meet the needs of those with progressive memory loss. Living areas are clustered so that residents feel part of a smaller, family size group. Security features are discrete, yet ensure safety. Halls and sidewalks allow residents to walk freely in circular pathways.
As different as it looks from any other care community, where CountryHouse really shines is in its people. Our staff understand the difference between caring about and giving care, and they're committed to infusing our unique philosophy into everything they do.
Our devoted staff provide:
- Gentle direction, through daily activities & structured programming
- "Moments of Joy", by helping residents find simple pleasures and recall pleasant times in their life
- A loving atmosphere, in the respectful & soothing manner in which all residents are treated
All staff participate in activities, including many special events throughout the year. At Christmas, residents make home-made ornaments and families join in "decking the halls."
There are trips to concerts and restaurants, and everyone looks forward to riding the annual Western Maryland Scenic Railroad trip.
School groups are also integrated into the activity program. From pre-schoolers to college students, everone benefits from the experience.
In many ways, Alzheimer's is harder on the family than it is on the one afflicted. It's heartbreaking to watch the disease progress; it's difficult for roles to change, and to become a stranger to someone you love.
We understand that families often want to care for their loved one themselves, and may feel guilty if career, children or environment makes home care an untenable or unsafe solution.
That's why CountryHouse serves the family as well as the resident. We offer educational programs and resources, special seasonal events, and monthly support group meetings.
And by letting CountryHouse take care of the day-to-day details, families are free to focus on spending more quality time -- just talking, walking or laughing together.
Instead of replacing the family's role as caregiver, we become their partner in care.
