What is Betty’s House?
Betty’s House, a division of Betty’s Wish, Inc., a 501(c)3 non profit organization, located in Washington county, MD, is a boutique residential assisted living home focused on caring for those living with Dementia and educating those who help them. Betty’s House is intentionally a small facility with the amenities of a large facility.
Betty’s House goes to great lengths to make sure it feels like a home- not an institution.
From the beginning of Betty’s House, our team has concentrated on the comfort and safety of our residents, whom we call friends. From the paint colors, flooring patterns, circadian lighting, technology in our sensory lounge, to the design of the garden and walkways, we’ve had our “Friends” comfort as the focus. We've incorporated evidence-based technology and design to enhance object and spatial memory. Utilizing circadian lighting, wayfinding, sensory and tactile modalities and biophilia as part of our design, we have created an environment that encourages cognitive enrichment and engagement with life.
Our programs are designed for those with Alzheimer’s and other Dementias. Utilizing Person-Centered Abilities System, we identify remaining abilities and interests in those with mid-to late stages of dementia to develop a custom plan of care.
Betty's House will help not only it's residents, but also offer community programs and resources to help educate, and empower the caregivers in our community.
