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.
