We are thrilled to share an exciting new chapter in our Branches journey of providing the highest quality care and support for our residents. In our ongoing commitment to enhancing the lives of those we serve, we are proud to introduce the Montessori-inspired approach to care at The River's of Maryland Farms.
Montessori is a philosophy rooted in respect, dignity, and empowerment. Originally developed as a method of education, this approach has been beautifully adapted to support older adults, particularly those living with memory challenges. By focusing on each individual’s abilities, strengths, and preferences, the Montessori method enables us to create an environment that fosters purpose, engagement, and independence.
Most recently during our Family Christmas Party we presented "The Hands of the Generation" we currently care for.
Hands are a universal language, transcending age, race, and background. In the hands of our senior residents, we see:
• Strength: Decades of hard work and perseverance.
• Connection: The warmth of a handshake, the comfort of a touch.
• Legacy: The marks of lives well-lived and lessons passed down.
As caregivers, we hold not just hands but histories. Each resident we serve has a unique journey, and their hands remind us to honor that journey daily. Whether it's helping with a simple task or holding hands during a quiet moment, we recognize the privilege of being part of their story.
Share these photo with someone who appreciates the story of a life told through touch, and let’s continue to celebrate the hands that have shaped our world.

Life can be full of challenges, and having a regular card night provides a much-needed break from daily routines. Engaging in a fun and familiar activity helps reduce stress, boost mood, and promote relaxation. A good laugh over a competitive hand of Kings Corner can be the best medicine! #Neighbors #LateNights #HandofCards The River’s of Maryland Farms Assisted Living and Memory Care

Montessori Thought of the Week Thinking back where do you feel your loved one felt more purposeful? A role is the purpose that someone has in a situation, organization, society, or relationship. Every day in our lives we participate in a variety of roles. We may be a mother, father, spouse, teacher, manager, child, neighbor, care partner, volunteer, and so forth. Our roles make us feel good about our- selves. We want elders to experience having roles taking care of themselves, others, and the community. For Lucy and Dee, their compassion shines most when they are caring for others. Here you see them preparing the tables for dinner as they would at home. #MontessoriLifestyle #PurposefulLiving #DementiaCare The River’s at Maryland Farms Assisted Living and Memory Care
