Ingleside at Rock Creek’s range in Washington, DC, takes in independent living, assisted living, memory care, home care, and skilled nursing as a continuing care retirement community. Independent living means a private residence with community services, while assisted living brings staff help to bathing, dressing, and medication.
Memory care gives those at risk of wandering a secured place under supervision, and skilled nursing puts licensed nurses at the center of care. Home care takes support to a resident’s own living space, and respite care is a brief stay that covers a family caregiver’s recovery period. Short-Term Rehab gives a resident a set window for rehabilitation. Care can change around a resident here without a change of community.
Thirty-four beds make for a small setting, and staff and residents get acquainted. Every day, each resident receives an average of 6 hours and 13 minutes in nursing care. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay each have a place. Medicare is geared to skilled care after someone leaves the hospital, Medicaid can back a long stay, and families may also pay privately.
Residences have one, two, or three bedrooms, with a one-bedroom meant for one person. For exercise there is a swimming pool, a fitness center, and yoga, and walking paths are available. There is also a salon, and the Social Day Program gives structure to the day. Most errands mean arranging transportation, since the Walk Score is 42 and car-dependent.
