Five small Town parks are spread among the streets, including Rosemary Circle and Tarrytown Park. Zimmerman Park holds the Lee Dennison Sustainable Garden. Together they give neighbors places to stroll close to home.

Home Care in Chevy Chase, Maryland

View All Providers
Home care in Chevy Chase, MD, means a paid caregiver comes by for the jobs that have gotten hard. Typical tasks include a bath or shower, getting dressed, fixing meals, tidying up, and running errands. Some people mostly want company and a second pair of hands. One household might book a single short visit each week, while another books long daily shifts. A home care aide isn't a nurse, though, and overnight or all-day coverage costs more. This kind of help often fits when the house itself still works and the gaps are a few hours here and there. Montgomery County programs can fill some gaps. Its Senior Nutrition Program offers a group lunch at county sites to adults 60 and over and to the spouse of an active participant. Lunch comes for a voluntary contribution, and diners reserve a spot ahead. That same county program takes requests for meals delivered to the door. It sends each caller to whichever Meals on Wheels program covers their address. For technology, the county points to Montgomery Connects and Senior Planet in Montgomery, which offer access, training, and support. That can help someone at home get more at ease with a phone or laptop. When you start calling agencies, a few questions sort them quickly. How does the agency pick the aide for a new client? If that aide is sick, who fills in, and how much notice comes first? Is there a minimum number of hours for each visit? It's also fair to ask if one regular aide will usually come, since many people prefer a familiar face. It's good to learn what training aides finish before they go out alone, and who checks their work in the home. If rides to the pharmacy or the store matter, you may want to ask whether aides can drive. It helps, too, to hear how the agency adjusts the schedule when needs grow after an illness. Keeping every agency's replies together in one notebook makes the home care listings for Chevy Chase, MD, below far easier to sort through. The average price of Home Health services in the area is $31 - $32 per hour.

Independent Living & Active Adult Living in Chevy Chase, Maryland

View All Providers
Independent living in Chevy Chase, MD, is meant for adults who manage their own care and would rather pass the yard work and repairs to someone else. Upkeep of the building and grounds usually falls to staff at retirement communities and independent living communities. Many of them also serve meals, plan outings, and run a shuttle. The details vary, so it pays to get them in writing. Moving doesn't cut anyone off from county help. Montgomery County's Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center connects residents of Chevy Chase, MD, and nearby communities with county government. That covers health and human services, transportation, permits, and more. Its office is at 4805 Edgemoor Lane in Bethesda, MD. Staff keep weekday hours there, opening at 8:30 a.m. each morning. Montgomery County Public Libraries also runs programs for adults 50 and older. The list includes book clubs, computer help, tax preparation, music performances, and health and wellness programs. Those can help fill a calendar after a move. Touring is where the real differences show up. A good first question is what the base monthly fee includes and what's billed as extra. You may also want to know whether a van takes residents to doctors, shops, and the library. A campus may also offer assisted living or memory care, so it's useful to ask what the path looks like if health changes. Asking about parking for residents and their visitors can head off surprises later. A meal in the dining room tells you a lot about the food and the mood. It's smart to look at last month's calendar of events, since it shows what really took place. You could also ask how a newcomer gets introduced around during the first month, and where visiting relatives can sleep. Notice whether residents run clubs and plan trips themselves. Two or three tours, with one set of notes, will make the independent living listings for Chevy Chase, MD, below easy to narrow down.

Assisted Living in Chevy Chase, Maryland

View All Providers
Assisted living in Chevy Chase, MD, is for someone who wants a home of their own but needs regular help getting through the day. Staff assist with what are called activities of daily living. That means everyday basics such as bathing, getting dressed, toileting, and taking medicine on schedule. Meals, housekeeping, and activities are usually part of the package. Compared with independent living, the key addition is that hands-on care, set out in a written plan for each person. Nursing homes are more medical, and assisted living isn't built for someone who needs a nurse's care all day. Maryland adds two protections to look for in the paperwork. First, before a discharge that isn't an emergency, the program owes the resident 30 days' notice. Second, the resident agreement has to state that going to the hospital isn't grounds for discharge. Before signing, it's wise to find both lines in the agreement and ask what situations could end a stay. On tours, a handful of questions shows how each community works. Who decides how much help a new resident gets, and when is that decision revisited? How are medicines stored and handed out? How many staff members work overnight, and how fast does someone come when a resident presses the call button? You may want to learn which costs sit in the base rate and which services add to the bill as care grows. It's also good to hear what happens after a fall, and when staff phone family. Ask, too, if people can stay with the doctor and pharmacy they already use. Some people also want to know how laundry and housekeeping are scheduled. Stopping by during lunch lets you see how staff treat residents when the room is full. It's helpful to find out how someone with a walker or wheelchair joins outings, and whether the building has quiet spots for visits. Holding every agreement and tour note to the same checklist makes the assisted living options for Chevy Chase, MD, below simpler to compare. The average price of care for Assisted Living in the area is $6,693 - $7,107 per month.

Memory Care in Chevy Chase, Maryland

View All Providers
Memory care in Chevy Chase, MD, is senior living designed for people with dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. It suits someone who needs more supervision and structure than assisted living can give. Doors and outdoor spaces are secured, and staff have training in dementia care. Days follow a calm, familiar routine built around memory loss. Maryland's assisted living rules give families a useful place to start. A written service plan has to be in place within 30 days of a resident's move. Staff then review it at least every six months. The resident is invited to each plan meeting, and a family member or representative is too, when the resident asks. On a memory care tour, try asking how that first plan comes together and who sits at the table. It's fair to ask how family members learn the date of each later meeting. Dementia care in Chevy Chase, MD, also depends on daily skill, so you may want to find out what training staff receive past the required minimum. Ask how the team handles wandering, agitation, and nights when sleep won't come. Watching how staff speak to a resident who seems upset says a lot. It's useful to hear how a typical day runs, hour by hour, and how often people spend time outdoors. Some residents forget meals or drinks, so ask how staff keep them eating and drinking. You might also ask whether relatives are welcome at lunch or during activities, and how a visit can work on a day when someone feels unsettled. You can ask how staff learn a new resident's history, habits, and favorite things. It may help to bring a short list of the person's daily habits to share on the tour. You may notice, too, whether hallways and rooms are easy to tell apart. Another good question is how the community knows when someone's needs have gone beyond what it offers. Bring the written plan answers home from every visit, and the memory care choices for Chevy Chase, MD, below will start to sort themselves out.

Long Term Care & Skilled Nursing in Chevy Chase, Maryland

View All Providers
People looking for nursing homes in Chevy Chase, MD, usually need skilled nursing care or rehabilitation. That's the next level past assisted living and memory care. It's for medical needs those settings can't meet. Examples include healing after surgery or a serious illness that needs a nurse every day. A nursing home has licensed nurses on every shift, and therapy is often part of the day. Assisted living and memory care, by contrast, are about personal help and a secure, steady routine. Medicare's Care Compare lets you search nursing homes and review results from health inspections and staffing. When calling, it's good to ask how many therapy sessions come each week and who's in charge on nights and weekends. Another useful question is how staff bring family into decisions, and how they plan for going home, if that's the goal. After those calls, Care Compare can help choose which skilled nursing options near Chevy Chase, MD, below deserve a visit. The average price of care for Long Term Care in the area is $11,829 - $12,560 per month.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chevy Chase, MD, gets help from Montgomery County's Aging and Disability Services, the county's Area Agency on Aging. Its office is at 401 Hungerford Drive in Rockville, MD. Inside it, the Aging and Disability Resource Unit is the main point of entry. It's where older adults and people with disabilities start when they want county services.

The agency lists help finding services, meals, and support for caregivers, with respite. It also lists health classes such as fall prevention, personal care at home, and protection for adults at risk. One call to the resource unit is a sensible first step before you tour senior living communities.

Ride On, Montgomery County's bus system, has zero fares, and the county offers free rides to seniors and people with disabilities. Riders 65 and older can also sign up for a free Senior SmarTrip card at most county libraries. They'll need a government photo ID that shows their date of birth.

Call-n-Ride helps pay for taxi trips to medical and personal visits. It serves low-income adults 63 and older and people with disabilities. Each trip must start and end in Montgomery County, apart from a few approved medical stops. The county also backs Metro Access, Connect-A-Ride, Same Day Access, and volunteer drivers.

Montgomery County calls a village a local, volunteer-led group that helps people keep living in their own homes as they age. Volunteers may give members rides to medical visits and grocery stores and lend a hand with small chores. Villages host social events, too, and each sets its own menu of services.

The Town of Chevy Chase, MD, lists a village under the heading Aging in Place on its Community Resources page, and the county includes that group among its active villages. Some villages charge a membership fee. A village isn't a care provider, so it helps to ask what it offers and who can join.

Yes. Montgomery County Public Libraries runs Books@Home, a free mail service. It's for county residents kept from a branch by a physical disability, a health issue, or frailty. It sends print books, books on CD, and DVDs. Members can get up to five items each week.

The Chevy Chase Library, a county branch at 8005 Connecticut Avenue, opens Monday through Saturday. The county says the building has no elevator service and isn't easy to reach by Metro. For readers who find stairs or travel hard, Books@Home can be the simpler choice.

Montgomery County's Family Caregiver Program gives caregivers information, referrals, help getting services, and training. It's free, with no fee or payment required. Anyone can call for themselves or for someone else, so a friend or relative can ask on a caregiver's behalf.

For a real break, the county's Respite Care program gives short-term relief to the main unpaid caregiver who lives with a frail older adult full time. That includes people caring for someone with Alzheimer's disease or any other dementia. An application can take up to 30 business days, so it helps to apply early.

Montgomery County's Long Term Care Ombudsman Program helps people who live in the county's nursing homes and assisted living communities. The Maryland Department of Aging designates the program. Anyone may contact it, including a resident's friends and relatives, and there's no charge. The program can't release a complainant's identity without permission.

The program's office is in Rockville, MD, and it accepts questions by email. Jotting down when something happened, who was there, and what was said helps the ombudsman understand a concern. Starting those notes early means nothing important gets lost when you reach out.
