JRH RESIDENTIAL CARE |
||
 |
Richey House opened in
1987 as Maryland's first freestanding hospice care facility. Situated
in four beautifully restored row houses, each patient has a private
room, access to wonderful public rooms, outside garden and decks.
Bathrooms are convenient to each of the 20 rooms. Richey House is staffed at a one to four professional nursing staff to patient ratio. An RN is on duty on a 24 hour basis and three nursing assistants provide supportive care. |

| Additional nurses,
social workers, chaplains and volunteers visit throughout the day and
evening. Meals are home cooked and laundry services are provided as
well. Patients are admitted to the facility with a life expectancy of
six months or less who have no one able to care for them at home or who
have acute or chronic symptoms that require an inpatient level of care.
Respite and residential care are provided at Richey House for those whose symptoms are not acute. In 19 years of service Richey House has provided over 87,000 days of care to over 3500 individuals. |
