HeartFields Assisted Living at Frederick

During its 24-year existence, HeartFields Assisted Living at Frederick has earned a reputation for offering outstanding care to older adults in a warm, homelike setting.

Sales Director Jennifer Minnick says families should consider assisted living for their loved ones when the activities of daily living, such as caring for personal hygiene, managing prescriptions, housekeeping, laundry and cooking become too much to handle or there is a fear of being alone. In an assisted living environment, residents may need help with transportation, medication management, meal preparation, specific daily activities, but can still live independently.

Families trust HeartFields to provide loving, compassionate and expert care for their loved ones. At the community, residents are safe, free from chores and errands, and have access to full-service medical resources, delicious meals, and social activities, Minnick said. Knowing this reduces anxiety for family members.

Executive Director Anita Evans has been working at the community for over 23 years. First as a nurse then Director of Resident Care and has been the Executive Director for a majority of her time at the community. Activities Director Melissa Hanshew has been working at HeartFields Assisted Living community from its start. They are supported by a team of 40-plus staff members, including caregivers, nurses, medication technicians and an internal rehabilitation therapy team.

HeartFields’ one-level accommodations include 36 suites in assisted living, and 16 in memory care, with a capacity for 52 residents. Each resident receives a personalized care plan regardless of the level of care needed. Short-term stay options are available for families that may need a break from caregiving, for an older person undergoing rehabilitation after surgery, or for prospective residents to try out the lifestyle, Minnick said.

HeartFields presents a smaller, homelike cozy feel, which is comforting for many residents who may feel overwhelmed in larger settings. Minnick said, the memory care neighborhood has a private, secured courtyard, which enables residents to enjoy the outdoors safely.
