Ginger Cove is a continuing care retirement community in Annapolis, Maryland, offering nursing home care, assisted living, home care, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing. That range may suit a resident whose needs change over time, since moving between services can happen within one community. Independent living offers a private apartment without daily care, while assisted living includes help with dressing, bathing, and medication.
Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Skilled nursing and nursing home care provide licensed nursing on site around the clock, while home care supports services delivered in a resident’s own home. The community may be a good fit for someone who wants the possibility of remaining within one setting as care needs grow.
Opened in 1988, Ginger Cove has 96 beds. Housing includes one bedroom and two bedroom apartments as well as private rooms, so a resident can choose an apartment for individual or shared living or a private room. The starting price is $5,268 per month, which gives families an initial figure for budgeting the cost of residence.
Medicare and private pay are accepted payment options. Medicare can apply to short term skilled care after a hospital stay, while private pay means paying directly for care. An indoor pool supports water aerobics, and walking paths, a meditation garden, and community garden plots offer places for walking, quiet time, and gardening.
Restaurant style dining includes chef prepared meals and multiple dining venues, giving residents several on site settings for meals. Scheduled transportation supports planned outings, while moving and downsizing assistance can help with a household transition. Respite care provides a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, and short term rehab offers temporary rehabilitation services.
Total nurse staffing is 5 hours and 33 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident. The community has a Walk Score of 51, described as somewhat walkable, so some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to manage some outings independently.
