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

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.

Such homes come in different sizes, charge a range of prices, and offer different
levels of care. All group homes must be licensed by the State of Maryland and
Montgomery County.
