About Stern Life Assisted Living

Stern Life Assisted Living provides Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 assisted living care in Frederick, Maryland, operating from two small residential homes located at 903 Walnut Street and 228 Thames Drive. The community was founded to offer seniors compassionate, personalized care in a comfortable residential setting rather than a large institutional facility.

The community specializes in supporting residents with memory loss, including those living with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Residents benefit from increased supervision, structured routines, and a calm residential environment designed to promote security and familiarity. Every resident receives an individualized care plan tailored to their physical, emotional, and cognitive needs, with care plans adapted as those needs change.

Services include assistance with bathing, dressing, mobility and daily activities, medication management and delivery, diabetic monitoring, 24/7 supervision, and pharmacy consultation. Caregivers are available around the clock to ensure residents are safe and supported. The community emphasizes emotional well-being through activities that encourage social interaction and cognitive function, as well as proper nutrition to support overall health and quality of life.

Stern Life operates small residential homes with typically seven beds, allowing for higher staff attention and meaningful relationships between residents and consistent caregivers. The homes are designed to be wheelchair and walker accessible and maintained as clean, comfortable environments. The community is licensed by the Maryland Department of Health and operates in compliance with Office of Health Care Quality regulations, including strict medication, safety, and infection control protocols.

Family involvement is encouraged with reasonable visiting hours. The community also offers respite care for families needing temporary support, with respite residents receiving the same level of supervision and assistance as full-time residents. Residents may continue seeing their existing physicians, with the community coordinating care and communication with healthcare providers as needed.

Highly recommend! We have been extremely impressed with this assisted living home. The home is beautiful, the staff is kind and compassionate, and they truly treat the residents like family. They provide excellent care and go above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and valued. We couldn't have asked for a better place for our grandmother, and we have complete peace of mind knowing she is so well cared for.

Stern Life has been such a valuable resource for my family in caring for our loved one with dementia. Becca and her team have demonstrated such compassion and flexibility as we have navigated this very difficult chapter. The staff treat my family member like one of their own family members. Their experience is second to none, and I sincerely value their knowledge and communication. I could not have asked for better partners during this time. I am so thankful every day for each and every one of them.<br><br>Also, the house is immaculate. Everyone who visits has remarked to me how clean and peaceful the home is. I am able to rest easy at night because I know that my family member is safe and in good hands, and I know that if anything should arise, they will keep me in the loop.<br><br>I would highly recommend Stern Life to my family and friends.

From the moment my grandmother arrived, I saw a dramatic improvement in her health, happiness, and overall well-being. It clear that the staff truly care about my grandmother and go above and beyond to ensure she receives the highest quality care possible. The home itself is beautiful, warm, and welcoming, creating a comfortable environment that genuinely feels like home. It is clear that everyone who works at stern life is dedicated, compassionate, and exceptionally hardworking. Knowing my grandmother is safe, cared for, and treated with dignity has given our family tremendous peace of mind. We are beyond grateful for everything they have done for her. Thank you to Becky and her team!
