Overview of Arbor Terrace Waugh Chapel

Arbor Terrace Waugh Chapel in Gambrills, MD, supplies both assisted living and memory care services. Assisted living delivers daily assistance with tasks like dressing, bathing, and managing medications within a private apartment setting. Memory care features structured oversight inside a secured area for individuals vulnerable to wandering.

Having both levels of support on a single campus allows residents to transition smoothly if their care requirements increase over time. The 96-bed property offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans, giving options for single residents as well as couples looking to stay together. Individuals in the early stages of dementia can also participate in the community’s specialized Bridges Neighborhood program.

The features include a salon and spa, fitness and wellness activities, tailored dietary options, and pet-friendly accommodations. Given the area’s walk score of 47, daily errands off campus generally require vehicular transportation rather than walking.

Prospective families can reach out to the community to learn more about care options or arrange a guided tour.
