We believe that caring for the whole person requires us to promote equity, diversity and inclusion in our community. We encourage a community free of discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, sexual expression or gender identity. We are an ally to those who identify as LGBTQ+ and strive to create a caring, just and affirming place to live.
Comfortable Accommodations
All rooms at the LLDH Home can be furnished upon request. That said, nothing makes one feel more at home than being surrounded by his or her personal belongings. Residents are encouraged to personalize their rooms with photos, artwork, and small pieces of furniture to create a familiar and comforting environment. All rooms have a telephone connection, cable TV, free WiFi, and a nurse call system.
Enrichment and Extracurricular Activities
Our activities team organizes events, entertainment, and outings such as restaurant visits, shopping, and local excursions. Many residents use these opportunities to discover new interests. Residents enjoy our movie program, free computer and email access, and relaxing activities like cruising the Potomac or listening to music in their rooms.
Restaurant Dining
Residents help select delicious and nutritious menus, making mealtimes popular. Meals are served either in our two inviting dining rooms or in residents' own rooms. Menus are planned by a registered dietician and freshly prepared in-house. Fresh fruit, alternative selections, special diets, and our varied salad bar are resident favorites.
Social Services
Our social services help residents identify and meet their social and emotional needs, drawing upon their strengths to promote self-worth and fulfillment. Whether visiting our beauty and barber shop or spending afternoons exercising and trading jokes with the therapy team, laughter and joy are integral to life here.
