OFFICE OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND Dear Friends, I am delighted to present the 2011 edition of the Montgomery County Seniors’ Resource Guide in its exciting new format. How fortunate we are in Montgomery County to have such a wide variety of services and service providers!

This year, the Guide includes more detailed information both about transportation and preparing for emergencies.

Please check out the transportation guide on page 138 to discover a range of transportation options. Mitigating the effects of emergencies requires each one of us to plan ahead. Please take a few minutes to follow through on the recommendations found in the foldout portion of the Pepco ad on the inside back cover.

This Guide is made possible through a partnership of Montgomery County government and The Beacon newspapers. Together, we can ensure that older residents are aware of the programs and services vital to living well in our community.

Sincerely,

Isiah Leggett County Executive 2

Jeanne knew it was time for a change.

Country Meadows resident since 2008

Jeanne loves the memories of her family and the home they shared. However, when she found herself alone, fixing problems and taking care of maintenance became overwhelming.

When Jeanne moved to Country Meadows, she brought her memories with her and left homeowner worries behind. Now, she feels spoiled by people serving her dinner, taking care of landscaping, even cleaning her apartment. It gives her time to do the things she loves most.

At Country Meadows, we have independent living, assisted living, memory support services and restorative care options to fit the individual needs of most seniors. Like Jeanne, every one of our residents is unique. So for many of them, having more choices about how they live makes a world of difference.

Do You Need Help Caring for a Loved One? The Initial Call and Meeting From the moment you call, we begin considering the specific needs of your loved one. We ask questions during your call to form a basic needs assessment.

Then we set up an in-home visit with your family, including your loved one who will ultimately receive our care. This visit enables us to gather even more information, answer questions and help your family understand how Right at Home can help.

The Custom Care Plan After our initial meeting, we’ll develop a Custom Care Plan for your loved one. We make detailed recommendations on exactly what kind of services we feel would benefit your loved one and tailor a plan specific to his or her needs. We then review the Custom Care Plan in detail and modify it as you see fit.

Caregiver Matching Once you approve the Custom Care Plan, we begin our search for the right person to implement that care. Our system finds a caregiver for your loved one by taking numerous factors into consideration: the services needed, your loved one’s interests and the personalities of both your loved one and the potential caregiver.

By looking at the whole situation, we’re able to provide the most appropriate caregiver possible. Of course, if you ever have any concerns about a specific caregiver, we can search for and provide a replacement in very little time.

Care Supervision Every Right at Home caregiver goes through an extensive interview process, including background checks. Once hired, caregivers are trained through Right at Home University to ensure that they’re able to deliver the care set out in your loved one’s Custom Care Plan. Before providing care, they’re bonded and insured.

Local Right at Home team members stay in touch with caregivers to ensure things are going well. Those team members also make unannounced visits to the homes of those who are in our care to ensure caregivers are following the specifics of the Custom Care Plan.

Call us today for more information or to set up a visit.

Why is it so difficult to bring up the idea of a senior community?

In a word, dignity. How do you tell your mom (or dad, or aunt, or grandparent) that you think it might be time for them to move into a senior living community? Will they be insulted, will they “resent me,” or will you just feel guilty?

At Sunrise Senior Living, preserving dignity is one of our Principles of Service. It’s what has driven us for over 25 years. Today, Sunrise provides a broad range of lifestyle, service and care options designed to give both seniors and their families choices, allowing seniors to live life on their terms.

Whether you’re thinking about Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care or Nursing & Rehabilitative Care, Sunrise can help you find the life that best suits the needs of your senior. We could even help you feel better about bringing the subject up. Visit or call today to find out more about how we preserve dignity.
