OFFICE OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND

Dear Friends, I am honored to present the 2014 edition of the Montgomery County Seniors’ Resource Guide.

By providing valuable resource information, this guide helps further the County’s goal of increasing the number of seniors who live full lives in the setting of their choice.

The Seniors’ Resource Guide links residents to people in the community who can provide services such as: education on a wide range of health issues; transportation; recreation and volunteerism; and home care services, among many others. On each page, you are reminded to call Montgomery County Aging and Disability Services, (240) 777-3000, to connect with County staff eager to assist in dealing with any aging related needs that arise for yourself and your neighbors.

This Guide is made possible through a partnership of Montgomery County government and the Beacon Newspapers. Together, we can ensure that older residents are aware of the programs and services vital to living well in our community

Sincerely,

Isiah Leggett County Executive

WHAT MATTERS MOST TO

you?

Laughing. Feeling loved. Being happy.

When we asked people what they want most at the end of life, we heard that a lot.

Wanting the people they love around them.

Wanting to be comfortable, without pain.

Wanting to feel at peace.

As experts in pain and symptom management, this happens to be what we do best.

We are proud of what people say: Deciding to place mom outside of her own home was very stressful until I saw the results at Arden Courts.

The community provides mom with a safe and comfortable environment surrounded by loving caregivers.

She thrives on proper nutrition and medication, hands-on care and constant daily activities, giving her the dignity and peace she deserves.
