Each page includes the phone number of our Aging and Disability Services, (240) 777-3000. Please call us if you have any questions — our staff can help identify options that may be available and appropriate for your situation.

This Guide is possible through a longstanding partnership between Montgomery County government and the Beacon Newspapers. By working together to promote local resources, we help enable residents to live and thrive in Montgomery County throughout their lives.

RESPITE CARE

“Respite” refers to temporary care provided to people with disabilities so that their families can take a break from the daily routine of caregiving. See also Housing Communities/Assisted Living. Many communities also offer short-term respite stays.

Refresh from the challenges of caregiving or a hospital or rehab stay. Brooke Grove is simply different. 18100 Slade School Rd, Sandy Spring, MD 20860 www.bgf.org

Mobile Dental Care

For PATIENT/FAMILIES:

• CONVENIENT: For those family members that work/live out of the area.

• COST SAVINGS: Good Oral hygiene can decrease the chance of a secondary infection, such as endocarditis/stroke.

• ATHOME SERVICE: Patients are seen in the comfort of their own environment.

• BETTER HEALTH & MUCH HAPPIER: Patients start to eat more and gain weight, less discomfort in the mouth, and food tastes even better.

For FACILITIES:

• Added Amenity: A Service appealing to future residents/families.

• Job Satisfaction: Caregivers have fewer oral hygiene issues, such as halitosis, candidiasis, etc.

• On-site Service: No one needs to take the patients out in inclement weather, such as snow, sleet and rain.

AND FOR US…

• An improved quality of oral health care, life and LOTS OF SMILES !!!
